Treadmill Safety Features
Before allowing users on Precor equipment, review the Important
Safety Instructions found at the beginning of this manual. You
should also teach your patrons how to safely use the equipment
following the guidelines in Educating Users.
Entering the Safety Code
When the equipment is shipped from the factory, the safety code
protection feature is disabled. If you wish to enable the safety code,
refer to Club Features. Inform users that the equipment requests a
safety code to help prevent unauthorized use. When users select a
program or press QUICKSTART at the PRECOR banner, the
following prompt appears:
ENTER SAFETY CODE TO UNLOCK MACHINE
Users have two minutes to press the following number key
sequence and continue their workout: 1, 2, 3, 4.
Important: Tell users to hold onto the handrail with one hand
before entering the safety code with the other hand.
If the correct keys are pressed, the program selection process
begins. If the code is incorrect, the display prompts the user to
reenter the code after a 2-minute time out.
Note: On the treadmill, a 3-second countdown appears on the
display, and then the running belt starts moving. Refer to Workout
Options in the User’s Reference Manual.
Using the Safety Clip
Instruct users how important it is to use the safety clip while
exercising on the treadmill. Instruct them on how to attach it to their
clothing near their waistline. If any complications occur, a strong
tug on the safety lanyard will stop the running belt.
If the safety switch trips while users are exercising, have them
reattach the safety clip, press the SPEED up key or QUICKSTART
and reenter the safety code, if necessary.
Note: The treadmill retains users’ workout statistics if they resume
their workout within the limit set for pause mode.
Safety Clip

Figure 3: Attaching the safety clip
Product Owner's Manual: Treadmill Safety Features 8
Product Owner's Manual: Treadmill Safety Features 9
Turning the Treadmill On and Off
To turn the treadmill On and Off, use the power switch located
beneath the hood, near the power cord receptacle.
Important: When it is not being used, turn the treadmill Off.
Weight Limit
You should not allow runners over 350 lb. (160 kg) or walkers
heavier than 500 lb. (225 kg) on the treadmill.
Location
It is important to keep the area around the treadmill open and free
from encumbrances such as other equipment. The minimum space
requirement needed for user safety and proper maintenance is
three feet wide by six feet deep (one meter wide by two meters
deep), directly behind the running belt.
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.
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.
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
appears in the display while the equipment
disconnects from the CSAFE master device. All key presses are
ignored.
Product Owner's Manual: Self-Powered Features 10
Symptoms of a Low Battery
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.
Using 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 11
Product Owner's Manual: Self-Powered Features 12
The Optional Power Adapter Kit
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.
Replacing the Battery
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.

Setting an Exercise Session Time Limit
You can limit how long a user can exercise on the equipment. For
example, if you set the time limit to 20 minutes, users can only enter
a session time between 1 and 20 minutes.
Note: The automatic cool-down period is appended to the end of
any time-based program, so adjust the time limit accordingly.
You can also let a user exercise indefinitely by selecting
NO LIMIT
.
However, you will need to instruct users that once they select a
program, they must press the TIME +/- key. A workout time blinks
in the display. They need to use the Number Keypad to type in 240,
press the up arrow key to display
NO LIMIT
, and then press OK.
The exercise session times available are between 1 and 240
minutes.
Note: The Military Performance Programs will not complete if the
maximum exercise time limit is less than 40 minutes. Set the
maximum session time above 40 minutes if you have allowed users
to access these programs. Refer to Treadmill: Accessing
Performance Programs.

Setting a Pause Time Limit
You can limit how long a user can pause while exercising on the
equipment by entering a time between 1 and 120 seconds (two
minutes). For example, if you set a pause time limit of 60 seconds,
the display automatically resets to the Precor banner if no
movement is detected and no key press occurs for one minute.
Important: The optional power adapter must be connected on
self-powered equipment to establish a definitive pause time limit. If
the optional power adapter is not attached and the rate of motion
drops below the minimum requirements, the equipment begins its
30-second shutdown, effectively eliminating pause mode. Refer to
the table in Self-Powered Features.

Setting a Cool-Down Time Limit
You can limit how long a user cools down after exercising on the
equipment by entering a time between 0 and 5 minutes.
Important: It is highly recommended that you set the cool-down
period at or above three minutes. It takes time for a user’s heart
rate to return to a resting state after vigorous exercise. An effective
cool-down period also reduces the amount of lactic acid in muscle
tissue.

Treadmill: Determining the Club Speed
Limit
You can set a maximum speed for the treadmill. This limits how fast
the running belt moves and, consequently, the number of speed
settings that are available to the user. 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) selected earlier. The
speed ranges from 0.5 to 16 mph (0.8 to 25.5 kph).
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 mph
(U.S. standard) to kph (Metric). It stores separate numbers for the
different units of measure. To enter both values, you must first
reset the display to the appropriate unit of measure, and then
change the speed limit in this program. Refer to Selecting a U.S.
Standard or Metric Display.

Cycle: Setting a Resistance Range
You can set a low, medium or high range of resistance on the
recumbent or upright cycles. Within each setting, 25 levels of
resistance are available, but the chosen setting affects the overall
resistance range.
Physical therapy conditioning is an example where you might use
this programming feature. If a user has an injury that needs low
levels of resistance, you might set the resistance range to low to
make sure that the user does not induce further injury by exceeding
your recommended levels of resistance.
The following table provides short descriptions of each group.
Table 4. Resistance range settings on cycles
Setting Description
HI or
HIGH
Provides the full range of resistance available. If an upright
cycle user chooses the high-end resistance levels, the cycle
provides enough resistance to simulate sprinting or hill
climbing for users wishing to stand on the upright cycle. It
also provides enough resistance for elite riders that are
capable of spinning at high speed with high resistance.
MED or
MEDIUM
Provides approximately two thirds of the resistance that is
available within the high group setting. Club owners may
want to select the medium range for recumbent cycles. Since
users cannot stand on recumbent cycles, less resistance is
needed by the average (non-elite) user. A medium range may
provide more comfort. It also allows users to make easier
resistance changes in the preset programs.
LO or
LOW
Provides approximately one third of the resistance that is
available within the high group setting. The low range may be
appropriate in special situations where poorly conditioned
users are anticipated. The low range is not recommended for
the club environment.
