following:
• To ensure your safety and to protect the unit, read all the instructions before assembling and using the treadmill.
• To ensure the proper use and safety of the treadmill, make sure that all users read
this manual. Please make this manual a part of your club’s training program.
Remind the club users that before beginning any fitness program, they should

DANGER —
WARNING —
• Do not allow children or those unfamiliar with its operation on or near the C932
treadmill. Do not leave children unsupervised around the treadmill.
• Never leave the treadmill unattended. Unplug the unit from the power outlet when it
is not in use, before cleaning it, and before putting on or taking off parts. Do not
adjust the running belt when someone is standing on the unit.
• Assemble and operate the treadmill on a solid, level surface. Locate the treadmill a
few feet from walls or furniture. Check the unit before each use and verify that all
fasteners are secure. Maintain the treadmill in good working condition.
• Use the treadmill only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Do not
use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer—such
attachments might cause injuries.
• If you purchased the optional POLAR® chest strap, review the guidelines found in
the literature that is supplied with that option.
• Never operate the unit if it is damaged, if it is not working properly, if it has been
dropped, or dropped in water. Return the C932 to a service center for examination
and repair.
• Keep all electrical components such as the motor, power cord, and I/O switch, away
from liquids to prevent shock. Do not set anything on the handrail, display console,
or hood. Place liquids, magazines and books in the appropriate receptacles.
• Keep the power cord and plug away from heated surfaces.
• Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
being administered.
• Do not use outdoors.
• The security clip must be attached at waist level prior to beginning a workout. A
cord connects the security clip to the red STOP button on the console. If a user
encounters difficulties, a strong tug on the security cord or a quick tap on the red
STOP button will stop the running belt.
• Use care when getting on or off the treadmill. Use the stationary handrail whenever
possible. Place your feet firmly on the right and left side platforms before the running belt begins moving (prior to a workout). Step onto the running belt when the
speed is at or below 1 mph (1.6 kph).
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the unit from its
power source before cleaning or performing any maintenance tasks.
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, take the following precautions:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Never step off the treadmill while the running belt is moving. Keep your body and
head facing forward. Never attempt to turn around on the treadmill.
• Never turn ON the treadmill when someone is standing on the machine.
• Never block the air openings on the hood while operating the treadmill. Keep the
air openings clean and free of lint, hair, or anything that might impeded the free
flow of air. Never drop or insert objects into any opening.
• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes during a workout—no loose clothing. Tie
long hair back. Keep all loose towels away from the running surface. The running
belt will not stop immediately if an object becomes caught in the belt or rollers.
• Do not rock the unit. Do not stand on the display console or hood.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. If you feel any pain or abnormal
symptoms, stop your workout immediately and consult your physician.
SAFETY APPROVAL
When identified with the ETL-c logo, the treadmill has been tested and conforms to the requirements of CAN/CSA-E-335-1/3-94, Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The C932 Low Impact Treadmill must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current which reduces the risk of
electrical shock. The treadmill is equipped with a power cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If you
do not follow these
Grounding Instructions
, you could void the Precor limited warranty.
DANGER — Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service
person if you are in doubt as to whether the treadmill is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the treadmill—if it doesn’t fit the outlet, get a proper
outlet installed by a qualified technician.
