Using Extension cords on your treadmill is ill advised due to something called "line drop", It's just a bad idea, especially if you do not have the right gauge wire. Moreover, if a tech or manufacturer finds out that you had it plugged in an extension cord - it may void the manufacturer's warranty. The main reason they void the warranty is in many owner's manuals they recommend against extension cords for treadmills, if not have an explicit warranty disclaimer, therefore placing blame on you the owner for not taking proper care of your machine. Independent of machine longevity, extension cords with high current draw devices (treadmill being one of them) create heat in the wire, and if the extension cord is covered (say for esthetics) can be a fire hazard.
Here's what we recommend: plug them into the wall outlet directly AND make sure it's the only thing on the Circuit (check your homes wiring diagram for details).
