Depending on the model of console you are installing and the options it includes, you will need to install one or more of the following cables:

Television (coaxial with F connectors)

Power

Ethernet

Precor recommends threading new cables from the top down, to take advantage of gravity. A fish tape (a thin metal strip with a hook or clasp on one end, available from professional hardware vendors) can be helpful during this procedure.

Assembling the AMT

23

To thread new cables through the equipment:

1.Select the console power cable (red and black, individual leads), the Ethernet cable (flat and black), or the television cable (round and black).

2.Thread the cable through the center column at the front of the equipment.

3.Guide the end of the cable through the gap at the bottom of the center column, then attach it to the appropriate connector on the jack panel. Refer to the following illustration and table for the position of each connector.

Connect …

jack panel

The television cable

The coaxial connector on the jack panel

4.Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all three cables are completely installed.

5.Insert all cables into the cable clips on the center frame pillar just below the bottom of the center column. Use plastic ties to bind the cables together below the clips and to route them away from any moving parts.

24

Assembling and Maintaining Adaptive Motion Trainers: AMT 885 /835

Replacing Access Covers

After you install the console cables, you can return the access covers to their previous positions on the equipment.

To replace the access covers:

1.Snap the front cover back into place. Reinsert the two buttonhead screws you removed with the front cover, then tighten them using a ” hex wrench.

2.Position the top column cover between the handlebars and the body of the AMT. Make sure that the sides of the top column cover extend over the upper edges of the body covers, then use the heel of your hand or a rubber mallet to tap the cover back into place.

Leveling the AMT

It is important that you level and stabilize the AMT properly every time you move it.

CAUTION: To eliminate movement, make sure the adjustable feet are in contact with the floor. Also, make sure that the unit sits on a flat surface. Adjusting the feet of the unit cannot compensate for extremely uneven surfaces.

To level the AMT:

1.Gently rock the AMT while standing on one of its foot plates and grabbing the opposite handlebar. First stand on the left foot plate and grab the right handlebar to rock the AMT, then repeat the step while standing on the right foot plate and holding the left handlebar. If there is any movement, ask your assistant to tip the unit on its side while you locate the adjustable feet.

Breaking in the Equipment

Precor equipment does not require an actual break-in period. However, moving components such as belts, gears, and bearings can settle while the equipment is being stored or shipped. This can cause the equipment to operate with a small amount of roughness or noise when it starts up for the first time.

The equipment usually returns to smooth operation after a day or two of normal use. If it does not, contact your dealer for assistance. For more information, refer to Obtaining Service.

Chapter 2

Installing the Console

To make installation easier, all Precor Experience Series consoles use the same mounting hardware and connector locations whenever possible. The installation sequence for any of them is as follows:

Threading the cable assembly

Connecting cables

Completing the installation (tightening the mounting screws and attaching the back cover)

The following sections describe how to perform these tasks.

Threading the Cable Assembly (P80)

Earlier in the installation, you threaded the necessary cables through the frame of the base unit and out the passthrough opening in the console mount. As you line up the back plate on the console with the console mount, you must make sure that the cable assembly passes correctly through the openings in both components.

28

Assembling and Maintaining Adaptive Motion Trainers: AMT 885 /835

Important: Before you begin the following procedure, remove the rear cover from the control console. To remove the cover, use your fingernails to pry the lower edge loose, then swing the cover up and out as shown in the following illustration.

Figure 9: Removing the access cover from the P80 console

To thread the cable assembly:

1.Make sure that as much of each cable as possible passes through the opening in the middle of the console mount on the base unit.

2.Position the console over the console mount.

3.Rest the console on the console mount so that the notch on the bottom of the console’s back plate rests on the rectangular hook at the bottom of the console mount, as shown in the following figure.

Figure 10: Console positioning on base unit

4.Tilt the console forward until it stops. Use one hand to steady the console in this position, or ask your assistant to do so.
