Product Owner's Manual: AMT Safety Features 6

Self-Powered Features

On self-powered equipment, the battery initializes and displays the
Precor banner when a user starts exercising. A minimum rate of
motion must be maintained for the banner to appear, as shown in
the following table. When a person meets the requirements, the
power that is generated allows the equipment to function properly.

Table 1. Minimum requirements for operation

Equipment Rate of Motion

AMT 56 strides per minute (SPM)

EFX 40 strides per minute (SPM)

Climber 30 steps per minute

Cycle 20 revolutions per minute (RPM)

Informational displays appear when the battery is low or when the
rate of motion drops below the minimum requirements. The display
explains what to do to retain power. If the messages are ignored,
the equipment begins shutdown procedures to maintain the charge
of the battery. Refer to Informational Displays Prior to Shutdown.

Informational Displays Prior to Shutdown

The equipment saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown
mode. If the user does not maintain the minimum rate of motion, a
30-second shutdown process begins.

Dots appear in the display and all key presses are ignored. If no
movement is detected or the rate of motion remains below the
minimum, the dots steadily disappear as the countdown continues.

Note: The user can resume exercising if he or she begins before
the countdown period elapses.

Important: If the equipment is connected to a CSAFE master
device, a slightly different scenario occurs. When ten seconds
remain before the equipment shuts off, the exercise session ends.

RESETTING

disconnects from the CSAFE master device. All key presses are
ignored.

An optional power adapter can be purchased and provides
sustained power to the equipment. If you plan to change the club
settings, the power adapter is highly recommended. To purchase
the optional power adapter, check with your dealer. Refer to

Obtaining Service.

Product Owner's Manual: Self-Powered Features 7

Symptoms of a Low Battery

Using the Optional Power Adapter

If no one has used the equipment for an extended period of time,
the battery may need recharging.

Symptoms of a low battery include:

y y A flickering or erratic display

User and program information is lost once the user stops
exercising. No workout summary or notification of pending
shutdown occurs.

Important: To maintain a constant power source, use the optional
power adapter.

After connecting the power adapter to the equipment, plug the
opposite end into the appropriate power source 120 V or 240 V.

CAUTION: When the optional power adapter is in use, make sure
that the power supply cord does not create a safety hazard. Keep
it out of the way of traffic and moving parts. If the power supply
cord or power conversion module is damaged, it must be
replaced.

The display functions differently when the power adapter is
connected. Because the power adapter provides a constant source
of power, a user can pause for brief periods without initiating
shutdown procedures. When the pause time limit expires and the
user has not resumed exercising, the display returns to the Precor
banner. Refer to Setting a Pause Time Limit. To learn how to install
the power adapter, refer to The Optional Power Adapter Kit.

Product Owner's Manual: Self-Powered Features 8

The Optional Power Adapter Kit

Replacing the Battery

If you purchase the optional power adapter, you must also
purchase the internal cable kit. The kit supplies the cable, bracket,
and fasteners that connect the power adapter to the lower
electronics board.

CAUTION: The internal cable kit must be installed by authorized
service personnel. Do not attempt installation on your own as
you could void the Precor Limited Warranty. For more
information, refer to Obtaining Service.

Once the internal cable kit is installed, you can plug the optional
power adapter into the equipment. Plug the opposite end into the
appropriate power source for your equipment 120 V or 240 V.
Review the safety instructions found at the beginning of this manual
before using the power adapter.

The equipment’s battery is built to last for a long time. However, if
you feel that the battery may need replacing, check with an
authorized service technician. Refer to Obtaining Service.

CAUTION: The battery stored inside the equipment contains
hazardous materials and must be disposed of according to
Hazardous Waste Regulations. Refer to Hazardous Materials
and Proper Disposal.

Maintenance

It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described
below. Failure to maintain the equipment as described in this
section could void the Precor Limited Warranty.

DANGER

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always
unplug the equipment from its power source (an
optional power adapter in the case of
self-powered equipment) before cleaning it or
performing any maintenance tasks.

Daily Cleaning

Precor recommends the equipment be cleaned before and after
each exercise session. Use mild soap and water to dampen a
clean, soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove
dust and dirt.

CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken
the paint or powder coatings and void the Precor Limited
Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the
equipment. Allow the equipment to dry completely before using.

Daily Inspection

Look and listen for slipping belts, loose fasteners, unusual noises,
worn or frayed power cords, and any other indications that the
equipment may be in need of service. If you notice any of these,
obtain service.

Important: If you determine that the equipment needs service,
disconnect any power connections and move the equipment away
from the exercising area. Place an OUT OF SERVICE sign on it
and make sure all patrons and users know that they must not use
the equipment.

To order parts or to contact a Precor authorized service provider in
your area, refer to Obtaining Service.

Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the equipment to prevent
the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth
operation of the equipment. Use a soft nylon scrub brush to clean
the running belt on treadmills or the grooves on equipment with
foot pedals.

Moving the Equipment

It is important, if you plan to move the equipment, that you obtain
adult help and use proper lifting technique. The equipment is very
heavy. Take advantage of the roller wheels on the equipment when
moving it to a new location. Do not grasp any plastic parts while
lifting or moving the equipment. The plastic parts are not
structurally linked to the equipment and will break.

Product Owner's Manual: Maintenance 19

Storing the Chest Strap

Long-Term Storage

If you purchased the optional heart rate chest strap, store it in a
place where it remains free of dust and dirt (for example, in a closet
or drawer). Be sure to protect the chest strap from extremes in
temperature. Do not store it in a place that may be exposed to
temperatures below 32° F (0° C).

AMT Features

The AMT is equipped with certain items that, when used properly,
help sustain an enjoyable workout. These items include:

y

Adaptive Motion™

y

Moving handlebars for a total body workout

y

Using the Stationary Handrails

y

Self-powered features

Moving Handlebars Support the Total Body Workout

The handlebars provide an upper-body workout which helps
increase cardiovascular fitness. By adding the total body movement
to your cross training workout, you are actually increasing your
work effort and enhancing your overall fitness level.

Important: Before exercising, review the safety instructions found
at the beginning of this manual.

Adaptive Motion

The technology behind the Adaptive Motion, low-impact, cardio
trainer adapts to your movements and lets you shift from short
strides to long strides, walking and running, or move in to deep
lunges.

Using the Stationary Handrails

To maintain your balance, always grasp a stationary handrail when
you step on or off the equipment and when you use the keypads.

To learn more about the touch-sensitive grips, refer to Heart Rate

Features.

User's Reference Manual: AMT Features 3

Self-Powered Features

The equipment does not require an electrical power connection. It
has an internal battery that is recharged every time you exercise for
a reasonable period of time. Meeting the minimum requirements for
operation causes the Precor banner to appear. You can press
QUICKSTART or select a program to begin exercising. For more
information, refer to Workout Options.

If you do not meet the minimum requirements for operation, a
30-second shutdown process begins. Dots appear in the display
and all key presses are ignored. If no movement is detected, the
dots steadily disappear as the countdown continues.

If you wish to resume exercising, you need to do so before the dots
disappear from the display.

Important Use and Safety Information

SmartRate

WARMUP FATBURN CARDIO PEAK HIGH

Heart rate and SmartRate® features are available when you wear
the chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive grips. When a
heartbeat is detected, the HEART RATE display shows your heart
rate and, if your age has been entered, the SmartRate LED blinks
and indicates your target zone.

Read the following before using the heart rate or SmartRate
features.

y

Consult your physician before engaging in any vigorous
exercise. Do not use the heart rate programs until authorized by
your physician.

y

Know your heart rate and your physician-recommended heart
rate target zone. Individual heart rates vary according to several
physiological factors and may not correspond directly with the
following figure.

y

Always face forward on the equipment and use the stationary
handrail or handlebars for balance.

y

On self-powered equipment, maintain a comfortable rate of
motion above the minimum requirements. Check with the facility
manager to determine the requirements to maintain power.

y

After you put on the chest strap, face the display console for a
minimum of 15 seconds. This allows the receiver in the console
to recognize the signal from the chest strap.

y

If Hr blinks in the HEART RATE display, it is detecting a signal,
but has not yet determined your heart rate. Make sure the chest
strap is positioned properly around your chest and against your
skin.

y

If you prefer to use the touch-sensitive grips, grasp both and
wait five to ten seconds. Make sure both hands are moist (not
dry).

y

When a signal is detected, a number flashes in the
HEART RATE display and indicates your heart rate.

y

The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is:

(220 minus your age) multiplied by a percent.

For example:
Warmup range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 55%
Peak range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 85%

User's Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 6

Wearing a Chest Strap

During a workout, the heart rate features appear on the display
when you wear a chest strap. To receive an accurate reading, the
chest strap needs to be in direct contact with your skin.

1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water Refer to

the following figure.

Note: Do not use deionized water. It does not have the proper
minerals and salts to conduct electrical impulses.

Figure 2: Moisten chest strap

3.

Make sure that the chest strap is right side up, lies horizontally
across your chest, and is centered in the middle of your chest.
Refer to the following figure.

Figure 4: Fasten chest strap

After you put on the chest strap, face the display console for a few
seconds. This allows the receiver in the console to recognize the
signal from the chest strap.

2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest. The strap

should feel snug, not restrictive. Refer to the following figure.

Figure 3: Adjust chest strap

User's Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 7

Using the Touch-Sensitive Grips

Using SmartRate

While exercising, you must grasp both touch-sensitive grips for a
minimum of five to ten seconds to transmit your heart rate to the
display. Refer to the following figure.

Figure 5: Touch-sensitive grips

Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration
provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver
inside the display console. However, some people, because of
body chemistry or erratic heart beats, cannot use the
touch-sensitive grips. A chest strap may provide better results.

The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain your heart
rate in the target zone best suited to your specific needs. When a
heart rate signal is detected, a single LED blinks and indicates the
zone that your heart rate is in.

Important: To use the SmartRate feature, you must enter your age
during program selection. Refer to Selecting a Program.

The following table shows the percents used in calculating the
heart rate target zones. While your heart rate remains within these
zones, the corresponding light blinks and provides a visual cue.

CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your
maximum aerobic heart rate or go above PEAK. If it does,
immediately reduce the intensity of your workout to return your
heart rate to your physician-recommended target zone.

Important: While exercising, do not wear a chest strap and grasp
the touch-sensitive grips at the same time. Using both features may
cause erratic heart rate readings.

The SmartRate indicator lights do not blink when:

fail to grasp both touch-sensitive grips for five to ten seconds.

You do not enter your age during an exercise session.

For example, pressing QUICKSTART at the Precor banner
causes the Manual Program to begin. Your age has not been
entered and is considered a null value. Your heart rate will
appear in the HEART RATE display when you hold onto the
touch-sensitive grips or wear a chest strap, but none of the
SmartRate LEDs blink because the appropriate calculations
have not been made.

Note: You can remedy this situation by choosing a program
using one of the PROGRAMS keys and entering your time,
weight, and age.

User's Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 9

Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate

Heart Rate Analysis

A dedicated window displays your heart rate while you exercise. To
view your heart rate (beats per minute) on the display, either wear a
chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive grips.

The Precor web site (www.precor.com) has several suggestions for
workouts with varying levels of intensity. It provides many workout
details that include the appropriate target heart rate.

The equipment includes one or more heart rate programs that let
you exercise based on a specified target heart rate. As you
exercise, the programs monitor your heart rate and automatically
maintain it within a few beats per minute of your selected target. To
use these programs, press the PROGRAMS HEART RATE key.
For more information, refer to –Programs.

Every time you complete a program using the chest strap or
touch-sensitive grips, the display provides a heart rate analysis after
the workout summary. Refer to Ending a Workout.

Your average heart rate appears followed by the maximum heart
rate achieved during your workout. A third display appears, if you
entered your age, and indicates the amount of time your heart rate
remained between the target zones shown.

The heart rate analysis is based on how often your heart rate signal
is received while exercising. If you use the chest strap, the average
heart rate will be more accurate than if you occasionally grasp the
touch-sensitive grips.

User's Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 10

Troubleshooting Heart Rate

The following table may help you understand and troubleshoot
erratic heart rate readings.

Important: A heart rate can only be detected when the Precor
heart rate receiver is properly installed in the display. A user must
wear the chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive grips.

STRIDE LENGTH

The STRIDE LENGTH display presents a visual representation of
the length of your stride. The lighted pendulum swings to the right
as you stride forward with your right leg and swings to the left as
your left leg moves forward.

The icons indicate which muscle groups are affected by the length
of your stride. To view the actual measurement (inches or
centimeters) of the length of your stride, choose STRIDE LENGTH
through the METRICS key. Refer to Changing Your Workout
Display Options.

As you lengthen your stride, the lighted pendulum should
consistently reach the same level on the right as on the left.
This indicates that you are expending the same amount of energy
and affecting the same muscle groups with your right leg as with
your left.

statistics and is described in the list below.

Note: If you choose to rest a book or magazine on the display, you
can still view these workout statistics.

TIME ELAPSED—displays time in minutes and seconds and
indicates the amount of time you have been exercising.
When you exceed 60 minutes during a single session, the
display converts to hours and minutes.

Note: The fitness facility can place limits on workout time.

TIME REMAINING—shows the amount of time remaining in

a workout. If the selected time is less than 60 minutes, the
display shows time in minutes and seconds. If you select a
time greater than 60 minutes, the display reflects hours and
minutes until the countdown reaches 60 minutes, at which
time the display reverts to minutes and seconds.

RESISTANCE—displays the resistance you feel against your
stride. The RESISTANCE keys let you set a resistance level
between 1 and 20.

DISTANCE

CAL/MIN—displays the approximate number of calories
burned per minute.

STRIDES/MIN—displays the number of strides you
complete in a minute up to a maximum value of 510 strides
per minute. A stride is an exaggerated walking movement. If
you start in a position with one foot plate forward, a stride is
completed when you move the rear foot plate all the way
forward while the other foot plate moves to the rear. Two
strides create one complete revolution of the flywheel. So,
the value that appears on the display is always an even
number between 56 and 510.

DISTANCE—shows linear distance in either miles or
kilometers.

Programs

This section describes the programs available on the equipment.
Use this section as a reference tool to better understand each
program’s purpose.

Choosing a Program

Choosing a program depends on your goals. If you are a beginner
or returning to regular exercise, you can start a cardio-conditioning
program to slowly return your body to a comfortable level of
exercise. If you have been exercising and feel that you have an
intermediate or advanced fitness level, you probably have
established goals. The Precor web site (www.precor.com) can give
you many ideas about fitness routines and advice from the experts.

Several of the exercise choices on the equipment are
preprogrammed with recommended settings. However, you have
the option to override the suggested settings, with some
exceptions. If changes are not allowed, a message scrolls across
the display explaining your options.

If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce your level of
intensity by overriding each upcoming segment in the program
profile. When you complete a program that contains a time limit or
goal period, an automatic cool-down period begins.

Heart Rate Program

The Basic HRC Program, available by pressing the HEART RATE
key, lets you set a target for your heart rate. The program adjusts
the resistance to maintain your heart rate within two beats per
minute of the target heart rate while you exercise. To use this
program, you must enter your age and wear a chest strap so your
heart rate can be monitored throughout the session.

Important: Consult your physician to determine the appropriate
target heart rate for your age and fitness level. If your physician
recommends a different target heart rate than the one that appears
on the display, use the navigational arrow keys to change the
target heart rate once you finish the warm-up period. Do not
exercise over the recommended range.

Heart Rate Program Tips

The Basic HRC Program enhances your overall cardiovascular
fitness levels to help you achieve your weight loss and fitness
goals. Read through the following tips before selecting the Basic
HRC Program. These tips provide general information regarding
how the program functions. For more information and exercise
suggestions, refer to the Precor web site at www.precor.com.

Important: Maintain a rate of motion above the minimum
requirements. Refer to Self-Powered Features. Automatic
adjustments to the resistance cannot take place if you drop below
the minimum requirements for operation.

y

The program provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this
time, you may change the resistance, but you cannot change the
goal setting.

Note: When your target heart rate is achieved or the 3-minute
period elapses, the warm-up period ends and the program
begins at which point, you may change to a distance or calorie
goal.

y

The program automatically adjusts the resistance to keep your
heart rate at the selected target. After the warm-up period,
pressing the RESISTANCE keys no longer affects the
resistance levels. Check the SmartRate display to see if you are
maintaining your preferred zone. Check the HEART RATE
display to determine your actual heart rate. For information
about understanding your target heart rate, refer to Heart Rate
Features.

y

You can change the target heart rate, but doing so affects how
well your target heart rate remains in the preferred zone. It takes
time to readjust the resistance so that your heart rate remains on
target.

Assembly Guide

Commercial Adaptive Motion Trainer

Thank you for choosing Precor. For proper installation, please read this guide
thoroughly and follow the assembly instructions. If you do not assemble the
AMT according to these guidelines, you could void the Precor Limited
Warr ant y.

Obtaining Service

You should not attempt to service the AMT except for maintenance tasks as
described in the Product Owner’s Manual. If any items are missing, contact
your dealer. Should you need more information regarding customer support
numbers or a list of Precor authorized service centers, visit the Precor web site
at www.precor.com/corp/contact.

Unpacking the Equipment

Ask for help from two or more people to unpack and assemble the AMT.

Required Tools

• Wire tie cutter

• Phillips-head screwdriver

• SAE Standard socket set

Installation Requirements

Follow these installation requirements when assembling the unit:

• Assemble the unit near the location where you plan to use it.

• Provide ample space around the unit.
Open space around the unit allows for easier access.

• Set up the AMT on a solid, flat surface.
A smooth, flat surface under the unit helps keep it level. A level unit has
fewer malfunctions.

• Open the box and assemble the components in the sequence

presented in this guide.

• Insert all fasteners with your fingers.
Use your fingers to properly align and thread the fasteners. This helps
alleviate cross-threading. Do not fully wrench tighten fasteners until
instructed to do so.

Important: When wrench tightening, the head of the fastener should be
flush with the product. If it is not, cross-threading has occurred. Do not
attempt to rework the assembly as more damage to the equipment will
occur. Contact Customer Support. Refer to Obtaining Service.

• If you plan to move the unit, obtain help. Do not grasp any plastic parts
while lifting or moving the unit. The plastic parts are not capable of
supporting the weight of the unit and they may break.

• Rubber mallet

Cardio Theater PVS
Assembly Instructions

If the Cardio Theater Personal Viewing System (PVS) accompanies this Precor
unit, review the PVS assembly instructions found in the Cardio Theater box.
Alleviate additional assembly or disassembly steps by combining the two
assemblies as needed.

Assembly Steps

Remove the two side fasteners that hold the front frame
tube to the shipping pallet. Cut the tie wraps that secure
the rear base.

CAUTION: Ask for an assistant to help you roll the
AMT off its pallet. Also, do not install the handlebars
at this time. The handlebars provide an alternative
handhold and, during assembly, may cause injury
due to increased foot plate movement.

Lift the rear base and roll the AMT forward while your
assistant stabilizes the front and guides it off the pallet.
Move the AMT to the location where you plan to use it.

Insert the end caps (E) into the front frame tube. Align
the end caps and, if necessary, use a rubber mallet to
secure them in place.

100i Commercial AMT Assembly Guide 3

Important: Temporarily cover the pivot arm holes on the
front covers with packing material so fasteners or tools do
not inadvertently fall inside.

Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four screws
that secure the back console plate to the display console.
Set the fasteners and cover aside.

Hold the display console above its mounting bracket on
the AMT. Feed the lower board cable through the hole and
out the base of the display console bracket.

Connect the heart rate cable to the 4-prong receptacle on
the electronics board.

Important: Make sure to move the lower board and heart
rate cables out of the way as you place the display
console onto its mounting bracket.

Connect the lower board (RJ45) cable to its receptacle.

Thread four locknuts (A) onto the bolts to secure the
display console onto its bracket. Wrench tighten using a
½-inch socket wrench.

Slide a plastic boot (D) onto each handlebar. As you face
the display, note which handlebar mounts on the right and
on the left pivot arm stubs. Attach the handlebars using
four 1¾-inch hex head screws (B), eight washers (C),
four locknuts (A). Wrench tighten.

Note: When the handlebars are mounted correctly, each
bends slightly outward.

Cover the fasteners with a plastic boot. Rotate the plastic
boot so its tab aligns with the cutout. Apply downward
pressure to secure the plastic boots in place.

100i Commercial AMT Assembly Guide 5

Level the AMT.

Levelers

Rear pedestal

Before allowing users on the AMT, make sure it does not wobble from
side to side.

To remove any side-to-side movement, take the following steps:

1. Ask your assistant to tip the unit forward to expose the three
levelers on the rear base.

2. Rotate the levelers to raise or lower the unit.

Important: If the unit is placed on a slightly uneven surface,
rotating the levelers can help, but will not compensate for extremely
uneven surfaces.

3. When you are finished adjusting the AMT, ask your assistant to
gently lower the unit to the floor.

Install the rear pedestal over the rear crosspiece.

Important: The rear pedestal lays flat on the floor. It provides a
mounting platform for stepping onto the AMT and also indicates the
buffer zone that patrons must stay clear of when someone is using
the AMT.

100i Commercial AMT Assembly Guide 6

Verify that the heart rate display is operational.

1. Stand on the rear pedestal and face the display.

2. Place one foot in the lower foot plate and grasp an arm or a
stationary handlebar for stability while you step into the other foot
plate.

3. When you are comfortably situated, begin climbing.

4. Grasp both touch-sensitive handlebar grips.

5. Look at the HEART RATE display. After a few seconds, a number
appears indicating your heart rate.

Note: If a number does not appear in the HEART RATE display, check
the 4-prong heart rate cable to make sure it is properly connected.

Replace the back console plate onto the display console using the four
screws removed in step 4. Secure the fasteners with a Phillips-head
screwdriver.
