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

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.

Important: If you change the Unit of Measure display, be sure to check the speed limit setting to verify that it is correct. Refer to Determining the Club Speed Limit below.

page 22

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS DIVISION

DETERMINING THE CLUB SPEED LIMIT

You can set a maximum speed for the treadmill. This limits how fast the running belt moves and, consequently, how many adjustments a user can make to the treadmill’s speed. The speed is displayed in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (kph) depending upon the units of measure (U.S. standard or Metric) that are selected. Once the prompt SET MAX SPEED scrolls across the display, use the ▼▲ keys to choose a speed between: 0.5 to 11.0 mph (1.0 to 18 kph).

Press SELECT to continue programming the treadmill. Refer to step 4 above.

Important: If you select a number that limits the miles per hour, your change will not affect the kilometers per hour (and vice versa). The treadmill does not convert the speed entered in miles per hour (U.S. standard) to kilometers per hour (Metric). It stores separate numbers for the different units of measure.

SETTING A WORKOUT TIME LIMIT

You can limit how long a user works out by setting a duration between 1 and 99 minutes. The treadmill also lets you choose NO LIMIT (found at the zero point between 99 and 1) which allows the user to select a course and work out indefinitely.

Note: The QuickStart program is automatically limited to the Club limit. For example, if you set the workout time limit to 20 minutes, the treadmill allows users to specify a workout between 1 and 20 minutes. Users cannot specify a time longer than 20 minutes.

Important: An exception to the rule is the Weight Loss course. It has a course duration of 28 minutes.

Use the ▼▲ keys to select a workout time limit. Touch either ▼▲ key and the display changes in one minute increments. Press and hold the ▼ or ▲ key and the numbers advance or decrease faster. Take into account that the user may get an additional cool-down period appended to his or her workout (depending on course selection), so adjust the maximum time limit accordingly.

Press SELECT to continue programming the treadmill. Refer to step 4 above.

Note: If the workout time is set to NO LIMIT users can workout indefinitely and no cool-down is appended to the course. The exception is the Weight Loss course.

SETTING A PAUSE TIME LIMIT

Setting a pause time limit is useful because the treadmill returns to the PRECOR banner at a selected interval after the Stop key is pressed.

After the reading the scrolling prompt and message, use the ts keys to set the pause time limit between 1 and 120 seconds (two minutes).

Press SELECT to continue programming the treadmill. For other options, refer to step 4 on the previous page.

page 23

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS DIVISION

SETTING A COOL DOWN TIME LIMIT

You can set a limit to the duration of a user’s cool down time in one-minute increments. It is highly recommended, in most workout literature, that a user cool down for at least three minutes to allow their heart rate to return to a “normal,” non-exercising state. A cool down period also allows lactic acid, which may have built up in a person’s body during a workout, to dissipate somewhat during the cool down phase.

After the scrolling prompt appears, use the ts keys to set a cool down time limit between 1 and 5 minutes.

Press SELECT to accept the displayed value and return to the PRECOR banner. For other options, refer to step 4 on the previous page.

VIEWING THE ODOMETER, HOURS OF USE, SOFTWARE VERSION, AND ERROR LOG

Important: Review Programming Tips on the previous page before taking the following steps.

To view the odometer, the number of hours that the running belt has been in use, the C932 software version number, or the error log, begin at the PRECOR banner and press the following key sequence:

RESET, SPEED ▼, SELECT

The numbers 6, 5 appear on the display as you press the associated key.

The field name MILES or KILOMETERS scrolls across the display and indicates the unit of measure currently in use by the treadmill. The odometer value appears next. The odometer tracks the running belt movement. The numeric value that appears indicates the distance traveled in cumulative miles or kilometers. The message continues to scroll until you press a key. Refer to

Tips

on page 21.

Press the SELECT key and the word HOURS scrolls across the display. The number that follows indicates the hours of that the running belt has been in use. The C932 actually notes the passing of course minutes, but the numeric value that appears is truncated to the nearest full hour.

Press SELECT again and the unit’s three digit software version number (upper display software version) scrolls past followed by the lower board’s software version number. The words “UPPER SW:” and “LOWER SW:” appear prior to the version being displayed.

The SmartRate® and Heart Rate system is standard equipment. The heart rate receiver is factory-installed in the display console. To actively view the SmartRate and heart rate displays, a user must wear a POLAR® chest strap, face the display console, enter his or her age (during the Setup prompts), and begin a course. The user’s heart rate is transmitted from the chest strap to the receiver inside the console and appears on the display. A blinking segment approximates the user’s heart rate and shows which zone the heart rate is in: weight loss or cardiovascular.

Important: During a course, a user’s heart rate must be above 40 beats per minute before the segment begins to blink. Note that pressing QuickStart at the PRECOR banner causes the SmartRate® display feature to be inactive.

SETUP MODE AND PROMPTS

The PRECOR banner is the “starting point” when a user begins a workout. If the banner does not scroll across the display, press the RESET key. If the display appears blank, make sure that the treadmill is turned ON. Press the ON/OFF [I/O] switch located at the front, near the power receptacle, to ON.

PRECOR banner: From the PRECOR banner, a user presses the SELECT key to access the Setup mode which lets a user determine the course, workout time, weight, and age parameters as described below.

Note: Key presses to the INCLINE ▼▲ or SPEED ▼▲ keys are ignored when the banner is being displayed. Refer to page 30 for more information about the keypad.

MANL: The course prompt, MANL, indicates that the C932 is ready to accept

course entries. To help a user determine which course they want to use, the course names and profiles appear on the display console label. The ▼ and ▲ keys let a user scroll through the available courses. The display presents the abbreviated name of the course. To choose the selection being displayed and continue in Setup mode, press SELECT. (Refer to

on the display becomes the designated weight that the C932 uses to compute various cal culations. A user can change the display from 1 through 999 using the ▼ or ▲ keys.

Age prompt The age prompt (AGE 0) that appears on

the display becomes the designated age that the C932 uses for SmartRate® system. A correct age entry between 1 and 99 is very important if a user plans to use the heart rate characteristics of the treadmill. The QuickStart key acts the same as the SELECT key at this point because the user has answered all the Setup prompts.

CENTER DISPLAY DURING A WORKOUT

The PRECOR banner, setup prompts, course profiles and feature selections appear in the center display. Prior to working out, prompts guide the user through the Setup mode. Refer to

Once a user begins a workout, the SCAN LED is lit indicating that all highlighted features (PROFILE, TIME, DISTANCE, etc.) will appear consecutively on the display. A user can change what features are scanned by pressing the SELECT key. Refer to

Changing the Display Features Using the SELECT Key

The following describes the information that can appear in the display.

PROFILE: At the beginning of a course, the profile appears on the right side of the display and corresponds to the course that has been selected. As a user proceeds through the workout, a blinking column indicates his or her position in the course. The height of the column indicates the level of incline. Every time the incline changes by several sequential levels (up or down) the height of the column changes by one cell.

TIME: A time (0:00) display appears when a user begins working out. TIME appears in minutes and seconds. However, should a user exceed 60 minutes (during a single workout), the TIME display converts to hours and minutes. Most often, the TIME display shows the amount of time remaining in a workout.

Setup Mode and Prompts

on page 34.

DISTANCE: The distance that a user has traveled appears (00.00) once a workout begins. Distance can appear in miles or kilometers. If the user wishes to change the display, they will need to contact the club manager or owner. Refer to the instructions found in

Club Information

on page 20.

page 29

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS DIVISION

Note: If a user were to exceed 65.53 miles (or kilometers) in a single workout, the numerical display resets to zero and begins over again.

CALORIES: Provides an estimate of the cumulative number of calories burned. The calorie calculation is derived from the speed, incline level, and a user’s weight. An accurate weight entry results in a more accurate calorie count.

SPEED: Displays the running belt’s speed. The ▼ and ▲ keys let a user de- crease or increase the treadmill’s speed. The running belt speed ranges from 0.5 to 11.0 mph (1.0 to 18.0 kph) and can be changed in 0.1 increments.

HR: The heart rate display lets a user monitor his or her heart rate. When a heart beat is detected, the number appears when the display scans HR (Heart Rate). The indicator (LED) light next to the HR label pulses whenever the heart rate receiver detects the user’s pulse. If a user is not wearing a POLAR® chest strap, the heart rate will not be detected and no pulse rate appears (the display remains blank).

Important: If a “— — —” appears in the display, the C932 is having difficulty detecting a user’s heart rate. Make sure that the POLAR® chest strap is positioned properly on a user’s chest against the skin. If the heart rate receiver in the display console has become disconnected, the display appears blank. Refer to the Heart Rate Capabilities on page 44.

SmartRate® display: Once a course begins, a blinking column segment along

the right edge of the display approximates a user’s heart rate and shows which zone the user’s heart rate is in: weight loss or cardiovascular.

page 30

• Weight Loss Zone: Maintaining a heart rate between 55% and 70% of a user’s maximum aerobic heart rate, helps burn enough calories that, when continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes or more, provides the greatest fat-burning results. The yellow LED’s on the SmartRate® display indicate the Weight Loss zone.

• Cardiovascular Zone: Maintaining a heart rate between 70% and 85% of a user’s maximum aerobic heart rate, helps (when continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes or more) improve a user’s overall cardiovascular/cardiorespiratory fitness level. The green LED’s on the SmartRate® display indicate the Cardiovascular zone.

Exercising on the C932

Once the C932 is set up, it is ready to use. The easy-to-understand prompts let the user select a course and specify how long he or she wishes to work out. The speed and incline levels can be adapted to meet their fitness goals.

Important: Club owners, managers, and personal trainers. Remind users how important it is to use the treadmill’s safety features and security clip while working out on the treadmill. Instruct them on how to attach the security clip to their clothing near their waistline. If any complications occur, a strong tug on the security cord or a quick tap on the STOP key will stop the running belt.

Note: This section of the manual is written for the user because it specifically explains how to work out on the treadmill. References are made in second person.

Information presented in this section includes:

• Using the safety features • Quick steps to working out

• Reviewing keypad and workout tips • Cooling down, pause and exiting features

CAUTION: Do not allow children on or near the treadmill. If anything should get caught in the rollers, the running belt does not stop immediately.

SAFETY FEATURES

The C932 treadmill is a powerful machine. Safety aspects to consider include:

• Always hold onto the handrail whenever you step on to or off of the treadmill.

• Always attach the security clip to your clothing prior to working out.

• Prior to the start of a course, the display will return to the PRECOR banner if more than two minutes elapse without a key press occurring.

USING THE SECURITY CLIP

A security clip is attached, by its cord, to the red Stop button that straddles the handrail. A tug on the cord trips the security switch and slows the running belt to a stop. If the security switch trips while you are working out, the treadmill retains your workout statistics and enters Pause mode. To resume your workout, reattach the security clip to your clothing, and press the SPEED ▲ key until you reach the desired speed.

Always attach the security clip to your clothing before each workout.

USING THE HANDRAILS

Always grasp the handrails to help keep your balance when stepping on to or off of the treadmill and when you press the display keys.

CAUTION: When you press the QuickStart key, keep in mind that the running belt begins moving automatically at 1.0 mph or 1.5 kph following the scrolling prompt: BELT STARTING 3, 2, 1… Other courses, such as the Interval (INTV) course have user-defined speeds. Prior to a change in speed, a three-minute warning scrolls across the display. Always grasp a handrail when the running belt changes speeds. Do not let go until you are comfortable with the running belt speed.

9. Hold onto a handrail and place your feet on the right and left staging platforms, remove the security clip from your clothing, and step off the treadmill.

COOLING DOWN AFTER YOUR WORKOUT

Cooling down is an important aspect of your workout because it helps reduce muscle stiffness and soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the working muscles. Cooling down for at least three minutes helps provide a smooth transition that allows your heart rate to return to its normal (non-exercising) state.

When you enter cool down, a message notifies you that you have reached the end of the course and the cool-down period is about to begin. The running belt slows by about 20 percent and the incline returns to 0 percent. The Manual course profile appears in the display. You can change the speed and incline by pressing the respective ▼ or ▲ keys. When you complete the cool-down period, a Workout Summar y appears. See the information beginning on page 39.

Important: The automatic cool-down period does not occur if the selected workout time is NOLIM. In any other course, the automatic cool-down period is activated when you complete the course. If you exit a course prior to its completion, then the cool down program is not implemented.

In the Manual course, speed and incline changes are completely under your control. The profile is initially a flat line. If changes are made to the incline, the course profile reflects the changes in all subsequent column segments. The blinking cursor indicates your position on the course. If you press QuickStart at the PRECOR banner to access the Manual course, the course TIME defaults to the club limit. You need to press the red Stop button when you have completed your workout. Note that a cool-down period does not occur when you press Stop. Always, remember to incorporate a cooling down period into your workout.

Note: You have the option to designate a workout time for the Manual course during the Setup mode. For more information, refer to

INTERVAL (INTV)

Quick Steps to Working Out

Course duration: TIME set by user

on page 37.

The Interval course is one of the best for conditioning your cardiovascular system. The course is designed to raise and lower your heart rate in a repeating fashion for a specified period of time. The interval course on the C932 lets you set the rest and work intervals according to your training regimen. You set the speed and incline for the first rest and work intervals and the software takes over from there, repeating the intervals throughout the course until you press the Stop button.

CAUTION: Since the “speed” can be set and saved with Interval and Weight Loss courses, a warning message appears prior to the start of the course (if the set speed is greater than 1 mph or 1.5 kph). Make sure that the security clip is fastened to your clothing near your waistline. Do not proceed with the course, if you are unfamiliar with the set speeds.

page 42

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS DIVISION

WEIGHT LOSS (WTLS)

Course duration: TIME preset

In the Weight Loss course, the workout time is fixed at 28 minutes. You are not prompted (during Setup mode) for a workout time after selecting this course. The course consists of seven, four-minute intervals. You can change the incline or speed (using the appropriate ▼ or ▲ key) any time during the four-minute rest or four-minute work interval. When you change the incline level or speed, the software remembers and repeats the settings for the remaining intervals. When you complete the course, the automatic cool-down period begins.

For the ideal “weight loss” range, your heart rate should be between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. To view the heart rate and SmartRate® features, you must wear the POLAR® chest strap. Set the incline level and speed so that your heart rate is maintained at 55% during the rest interval and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate during the work intervals. The weight loss range correlates to the yellow LED’s on the SmartRate® display.

RANDOM (RAND)

Course duration: TIME set by user

Every time a Random course is selected, a different course profile appears. The segments that appear in the course profile maintain a set incline that you can override using the INCLINE ▼▲ keys. The incline is preset to zero for the first segment. The maximum incline change allowed between segments is plus or minus 4 percent. If the club lets you set the workout time at NOLIM (no limit), you need to press the red Stop button when you have completed your workout. You will need to access Manual mode to cool down.

HEART RATE COURSE (HRC)* Course duration: TIME set by user

This course lets you set a target for your heart rate. The treadmill adjusts the incline to maintain your target heart rate while you work out. Similar to the Weight Loss course, you must wear a POLAR chest strap. For more information, refer to

Heart Rate Course

on page 46.

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS DIVISION

Heart Rate Capabilities

You can make each program on the C932 a heart rate “interactive” course by monitoring and maintaining your heart rate in the SmartRate® zone best suited for your specific needs. You’ll need to obtain and wear a POLAR chest strap to activate the heart rate capabilities.

Note: The SmartRate® indicator lights do not appear if you press QuickStart as the PRECOR banner is scrolling across the display. Refer to

Display Console

for more information.

Before using the treadmill’s heart rate capabilities, take time to read the following guidelines.

• Consult with your physician before engaging in any vigorous exercise. Do not use the Heart Rate Course or the treadmill’s heart rate capabilities until authorized by your physician.

• Slow down and stop immediately if you experience any pain or abnormal symptoms.

• Gently stretch your lower body and back before and after working out to help prevent stiffness or soreness.

Features on the

• Know your heart rate (pulse) and your physician-recommended heart rate target zone. Individual heart rates vary according to several physiological factors and may not correspond directly with the diagrams and tables provided.

• You should not use the heart rate capabilities if you are taking any medications that either speed up or slow down your heart rate.

• Always face forward on your C932 and use the handrail for balance. Keep in mind that you are wearing sensitive equipment (the POLAR® chest strap) and upper body movement should be kept to a minimum.

• After putting on the chest strap, be sure that the C932 is ON. Face the display console for a minimum of 15 seconds. This allows the receiver in the console to acknowledge the presence of the transmitter.

• Incorporate a cool-down period into your workout to help lower your heart rate and minimize muscle stiffness or soreness.

USING THE SMARTRATE

Add the benefit of SmartRate® to every course on the treadmill. Using SmartRate as a visual cue helps you adjust your exercise routine to suit specific needs. SmartRate® simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise. You don’t have to stop concentrating on your workout to find your pulse. It is displayed right in front of you along with the SmartRate® zone. Once you begin a workout, a blinking segment in the bar graph appears on the display, if you indicated your age during the Setup prompts. The blinking segment indicates the zone that your heart rate is in: Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.

CAUTION: Keep in mind that the “Heart Rate” or “target” zones are approximations. Always check with your physician to learn what the appropriate heart rate is for your level of fitness. Do not push yourself beyond the recommended range.

The individual target zones are based on a simple algorithm: 220 minus your age. The algorithm provides a number that estimates your maximum aerobic heart rate. For the ideal “weight loss” range, your heart rate should be between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. Yellow LED’s light in the SmartRate® display when your heart rate is in the weight loss range.

Important: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate or go above your target zone. Refer to Diagram 20.

When you maintain your heart rate between 70% and 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate, you are improving your overall cardiovascular/cardiorespiratory fitness level. Green LED’s light in the SmartRate® display appear when you maintain your heart rate in the cardiovascular fitness range.

Maintaining your heart rate in either zone (weight loss or cardiovascular) for 30 minutes or more on a regular basis (minimum 3 times a week) provides the greatest benefits.

page 45

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS DIVISION

HEART RATE COURSE

Once you set your target heart rate and the running belt’s speed, the Heart Rate Course monitors your heart rate and automatically maintains it within a few beats per minute (bpm) of the selected target. Blinking lights on the SmartRate® bar graph appear to show the “zone” that you are in.

Note: For the C932 to detect a heart rate, you must purchase the heart rate

option and wear the POLAR

chest strap during a workout.

The chest strap transmits your heart rate signal to the receiver that is installed in the display console. During your workout, the heart rate indicator lights and blinks at the same rate as your pulse. This lets you see what your heart rate is doing even when the display is presenting other workout statistics.

To use the Heart Rate Course follow the steps found in

weight and age. When you begin the course, the following occurs:

• The software verifies that it detects a heart rate signal. You need to press the SPEED ▲ key to begin your workout.

Note: If the treadmill is having difficulty detecting your heart rate, three dashes will (- - -) appear in the Heart Rate display. Use the Precor spray that is supplied with the chest strap and readjust the strap around your chest. Make sure that it is against your skin.

• The treadmill provides a three minute warm-up period before entering the Heart Rate Course. During this time, you may make changes to the incline by pressing the INCLINE ▲▼ keys. Use the SPEED

▼▲ keys to set the

running belt’s speed.

Note: If your heart rate moves into the heart rate zone for your age during the three minute warm-up period, the warm-up period ends and the Heart Rate Course begins.

page 46

• After the warm-up period, the treadmill automatically adjusts the incline to keep your heart rate at the selected target. Pressing the INCLINE

▲▼ keys

no longer affects the treadmill’s incline, but does affect a change to the

target heart rate

. You can also check the SmartRate® display to see if you

are in your preferred zone (cardiovascular or weight loss).

Note: You can change your target heart rate or speed anytime during a workout, but doing so affects the treadmill’s ability to maintain your target heart rate in the preferred zone. It takes time for the treadmill to readjust the incline so that your heart rate remains on target.

CAUTION: A warning message will appear if you go above your maximum recommended heart rate target zone. Heed the warning and get permission from your personal physician before working out above the maximum recommended zone for your age and fitness level. See Diagram 20 on the previous page for the recommended target zones.

• When you complete the course, continue cooling down for he designated period of time.

Maintenance

The C932 is built to withstand the rigors of the health club environment. However, as club manager or owner, you are responsible for cleaning and maintaining the unit’s integrity. If you fail to maintain the treadmill as described below, it could affect or void the Precor limited warranty.

DANGER — To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the unit

from its power source before cleaning it or performing any maintenance tasks.

INSPECTION

Perform a daily inspection of the treadmill.

1. 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. Obtain service should you notice any of the above.

Important: If you determine that the treadmill is in need of service, move it away from the main workout area and place an large “Out of Service” sign on it. While it is awaiting service, remove the power cord so no one can use the treadmill.

2. Check for worn, frayed, or missing safety lanyards. Replace missing or worn safety lanyards immediately. A safety lanyard with its security clip must be fastened to the treadmill’s red STOP button. Do not allow users on a treadmill without it.

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

Obtaining Service

on page 7.

CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT

Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the treadmill’s hood and solid base. However, for efficient operation, the treadmill relies on low friction. To keep the friction low, the treadmill must be as clean as possible.

It is recommended the bed and belt be cleaned daily. Before or after each workout, use a damp, soft cloth to clean the staging platform, running bed and between the belt and running bed surface as far as you can easily reach. This removes any dust or dirt that might affect the smooth operation of the unit.

Periodically, clean the treadmill’s frame, display console, handrails and running belt with a dampened (not dripping wet), and water. To clean the groves on the belt, use a soft nylon scrub brush. Vacuum the floor underneath the unit every week to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.

The Precor Heart Rate equipment requires little maintenance beyond keeping it dust free. Dampen a sponge or soft cloth in mild soap and water to clean the POLAR® chest strap. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.

ALIGNING THE RUNNING BELT

The correct alignment of the running belt is critical to the smooth operation of the treadmill. The belt is properly aligned at the factory. However, during shipping and handling or by use on an uneven surface, the belt may move off center and require a few simple adjustments.

clean

cloth using a diluted solution of mild soap

page 47

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS DIVISION

If you plan to align the running belt, check its operation by following the procedure in

Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt

on page 19. If you determine that

the belt needs alignment, follow the instructions here.

CAUTION: Special care must be taken when aligning the running belt. Turn OFF the treadmill while adjusting or working near the rear roller. Remove any loose clothing and tie back your hair. Be very careful to keep your finger or any other object clear of the belt and rollers, especially in front of the roller and behind the deck. The treadmill will not stop immediately if an object becomes caught in the belt or rollers.

Realigning the belt takes a few simple adjustments. If you are unsure about this procedure, call Precor Customer Support (see

Obtaining Service

on page 7.)

Take the following steps to align the running belt on the treadmill. To ensure your safety, make all adjustments while the treadmill is OFF.

1. Make sure the treadmill is OFF and the running belt has completely stopped.

2. Locate the left belt adjustment bolt in the rear end cap of the treadmill. (To determine left and right, stand at the rear of the treadmill and face the display.) The direction you turn the bolt depends on how the belt is tracking. Make all belt adjustments on the

left rear corner bolt

using the hex key provided.

• If the belt is off center to the LEFT, turn the adjusting bolt 1/4 turn clock-

wise, which moves the running belt to the right.

• If the belt tracks off center to the RIGHT, turn the bolt 1/4 turn

clockwise

; this moves the belt to the left.

counter-

Important: Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than 1/4 turn at a time. Overtightening the bolt can damage the treadmill.

3. Turn ON the treadmill, press QuickStart, and then increase the running belt speed to 3 mph (5 kph) by pressing Speed ▲.

CAUTION: Stand to the side of the treadmill. The running belt begins moving automatically after you press QUICKSTART.

4. Observe the running belt for a couple of minutes. The belt should be centered on the running bed. A few inches from either side of the side rail platform.

CAUTION: If you hear any chafing or the running belt appears to be getting damaged, stop the running belt immediately by pressing the red Stop key. Contact Precor Customer Support.

5. If the belt needs additional alignment, repeat steps 1 through 4 of this procedure until the belt is properly aligned.

6. After aligning the belt, press the Stop button and Reset. Turn OFF the tread- mill. Tighten any loose fasteners or other components on the equipment. If you hear unusual noises or you feel that the treadmill is in need of repair or service, contact Precor Customer Support. Refer to

Obtaining Service

on page 7.

Options / Accessories / Battery-powered or Self-Operated Devices

Many options or accessories have components that are connected internally or mounted inside the electronic console. The following guidelines determine the warranty for these components. If the internal components are installed by the factory or by an authorized dealer as part of the original sale and delivery, they have a warranty that is identical to the warranty of the equipment in which they are connected or mounted. If the internal components are not installed by the factory or by an authorized dealer as part of the original sale and delivery, they have a 90 days parts and labor limited warranty. All components that are not internally connected have a 90 days parts only limited warranty. Satisfactory proof of purchase is required in all cases.

1. The warranty applies to the Precor product only while a. it remains in the possession of the original purchaser and proof of purchase is

demonstrated,

b. it has not been subjected to accident, misuse, abuse, improper service, or non-Precor

modification.

c. claims are made within the warranty period.

2. Certain products are warranted for light commercial use only (defined as use in non-fee paying clubs or facilities and less than 4 hours daily use. Unapproved use voids the warranty. Current light commercial products include C934, C932, EFX524, EFX534.).

5. Warranties outside the United States and Canada may vary. Please contact your local Dealer for details.

Disclaimer and Release.

The warranties provided herein are the exclusive warranties given by Precor and supersede any prior, contrary or additional representations, whether oral or written. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES,

INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE THAT APPLY TO ANY PARTS DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE PERIODS OF EXPRESS WARRANTIES GIVEN ABOVE FOR THOSE SAME PARTS. PRECOR HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES THOSE WARRANTIES THEREAFTER.

Some States do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. PRECOR ALSO HEREBY

DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO ANY NONCONFORMANCE OR DEFECT IN ANY PRODUCT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: (A) ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, RIGHT, CLAIM OR REMEDY IN TORT, WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF PRECOR OR ITS SUPPLIERS (WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED); AND (B) ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, RIGHT, CLAIM OR REMEDY FOR LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO ANY EQUIPMENT.

This disclaimer and release shall apply even if the express warranty set forth above fails of its essential purpose.

Exclusive Remedies.

For any product described above that fails to conform to its warranty, Precor will provide, at their option, one of the following: (1) repair; (2) replacement; or (3) refund of the purchase price. Precor Limited Warranty service may be obtained by contacting the authorized dealer from whom you purchased the item. Precor compensates Servicers for warranty trips within their normal service area to repair commercial equipment at the customer’s location. You may be charged a trip charge outside the service area. THESE SHALL BE THE

SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF THE BUYER FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY.

EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.

PRECOR AND/OR ITS SUPPLIERS SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT (INCLUDING WARRANTY), TORT (INCLUDING ACTIVE, PASSIVE, OR IMPUTED NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), OR OTHERWISE, FOR DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOSS OF USE, REVENUE OR PROFIT, COST OF CAPITAL, COST OF SUBSTITUTE EQUIPMENT, ADDITIONAL COSTS INCURRED BY BUYER (BY WAY OF CORRECTION OR OTHERWISE) OR ANY OTHER INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER RESULTING FROM NONDELIVERY OR FROM THE USE, MISUSE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT.

This exclusion applies even if the above warranty fails of its essential purposes and regardless of whether such damages are sought for breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, or strict liability in tort or under any other legal theory. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
