  • Causa
    Manufacturer internal quality inspection has found that the power cord connecting directly to the t2100 treadmill may not have been assembled according to specifications. if the power cord was improperly assembled and a separate secondary electrical fault condition exists (e.G. a frayed extension or power cord touching the treadmill chassis) this could possibly result in an electrical shock to the patient or operator. there have been no reported incidences of the treadmill power cord leading to an electrical shock of a patient or operator at this time.
