Precor Heart Rate Option—Safety Guidelines
The Precor Heart Rate Option was created and designed exclusively for Precor products. Before using this option, read and follow the instructions found in the owner’s manual that accompanies your option kit or chest strap transmitter.
The equipment is extremely sensitive—you should use the heart rate option with this in mind and take time to read the following guidelines:
• Do not drop the equipment. It might damage the transmitter and you could void the manufacturer’s limited warranty.
• Do not place the chest strap near strong electromagnetic radiation sources. Television sets, electric motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can interfere with the heart rate signal and might affect the heart rate readings that appear on the electronic console.
• Use only one chest strap at a time inside the range of the receiver. If the receiver tries to process several signals simultaneously, an incorrect heart rate reading could result. Be sure to keep any other transmitters at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) away from the receiver on your treadmill.
• The chest strap should not be immersed in water, however, wetting the electrodes and your chest improves initial performance. Note that perspira­tion on the chest strap during workouts is normal and actually enhances the signal being sent from the chest strap’s transmitter.
• To conduct the electrical impulses from your heart, the chest strap’s electrodes require a certain percentage of salts and minerals in the water used to wet them. The electrodes transmit your heart rate reading as long as they are in contact with your skin and your skin is providing enough moisture through your perspiration to keep the electrodes wet. However, if the concentration of salts in your perspiration is not high enough to conduct electrical impulses and send them to the receiver, your heart rate reading will appear erratic or not appear at all. Some people cannot use the heart rate feature because they do not have the proper body chemistry.
Note: The spray in the option package may help increase the conductivity of the chest strap electrodes. Use it as described in the option kit.
• Do not use the chest strap if you are taking any medication or have a cardiac pacemaker. Inaccurate heart rate readings can occur due to medication or electrical impulses from the cardiac pacemaker.
• Stretching or bending the electrode strips on the chest strap may cause the strips to lose their conductivity. Handle the chest strap with care.
• After extensive use, the chest strap (transmitter) may wear out, causing inaccurate heart rate readings. With every use, check the strap for excessive wear. To replace it, see
Precor treadmills are designed for the enjoyment of the serious runner as well as the dedicated walker. By following the above precautions and using good common sense, you will have many safe and pleasurable hours of healthful exercise with your Precor treadmill.

Setting Up the C964 Treadmill Ergometer
Setting Up the Treadmill
You do not need any special knowledge or experience to set up a C964i or C962i treadmill, however you will need assistance. Because of the size and weight of the treadmill, it is recommended that at least three people assemble it.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Follow the installation requirements below when installing and assembling the treadmill. If you do not install the treadmill according to the following guidelines,
you could void the Precor limited warranty.
• Set up the treadmill on a solid, flat surface. A flat surface is required for your safety and proper alignment of the running belt. An adjustable foot exists to help “fine tune” the unit once it is in place.
• Locate the treadmill at least 4 feet from walls, equipment, and furniture. Be sure to allow ample space in front of the machine to allow easy access to the ON/OFF switch. Open space to the sides and rear of the unit makes for a safer mount and dismount and easier belt adjustment.
• Fill out and mail the limited warranty card. The serial number is located on the inboard-side of the running bed at the left, rear corner of the treadmill. You will need to be on your knees and bend down to see it. Write the serial number in the space provided on the inside front cover of this manual.
• Use the appropriate voltage, dedicated circuit, and grounding as specified on the treadmill. The treadmill is available in both 120-volt and 240-volt models. Refer to the treadmill’s identification label to determine the voltage that your treadmill requires. Both the 120-volt and 240-volt models require a dedicated 20 amp circuit.
• Acquire the appropriate tools. You will need assistance and a wire cutter. A bubble level is also useful to check the running surface of the treadmill once it is assembled and placed in its final location.
CAUTION: Do not use a non-grounded outlet or transformer. Do not remove or otherwise bypass the plug with an adapter. Electrical damage can occur and void the Precor limited warranty if the treadmill is connected to an improper power source.

CAUTION: Be sure to get the appropriate number of people to help you move the treadmill to its final location. A fully-assembled C964i or C962i treadmill is very heavy and you might injure yourself if you move the treadmill improperly.
11. If you need to move the treadmill, ask for assistance. Roll the treadmill on its front wheels to its new location by lifting the rear end of the unit.
CAUTION: Do not remove or otherwise bypass the 3-prong plug with an adapter in order to use a non-grounded outlet. Do not plug the treadmill into a power transformer in an attempt to adjust the voltage requirements.
12. The treadmill requires a dedicated circuit. Plug the treadmill into a grounded outlet with a dedicated circuit. Make sure that no other product or machine uses the same circuit as the treadmill.
13. Continue to Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt to complete the installation of the treadmill.
CHECKING THE ALIGNMENT OF THE RUNNING BELT
The belt is aligned at the factory before shipment. However, during shipment or by using the treadmill on an uneven surface, the belt might move off center. Proper belt alignment is important because it allows the belt to remain centered and assures smooth operation.
Follow these steps to check the alignment:
CAUTION: Do not walk on the running belt during this procedure.
1. The C964i and C962i have adjustable rear feet. Check to make sure that the running surface is level before continuing with the following steps. If the treadmill is placed on a slightly, uneven surface, adjusting the rear feet can help, but will not compensate for extremely uneven surfaces.
Important: The maximum recommended height that you raise or lower the rear of the treadmill should be no more than a 1/4". You can turn the rear foot counterclockwise or clockwise using a crescent or open-end wrench.
2. Check to be sure that the safety switch is positioned at the green dot before turning ON the treadmill. Locate the ON/OFF power switch at the front of the hood and turn it to ON ( I ).
