Please review and observe the following safety guidelines when

Before beginning any fitness program, you should see your
physician for a thorough physical examination.

• Read the Owner’s Manual and follow all instructions.
These instructions are written to ensure your safety
and to protect the equipment.

• Handle the Precor 903/904 electronic console with
care. Do not drop the equipment. It might damage the
device and you could void the Precor limited warranty.

• After extensive use, the batteries may wear out which
causes the information on the display to flicker
erratically or not appear at all. If you need to replace
the batteries, refer to
maintenance section of this manual.

• Do not operate the treadmill for a 24-hour period after
installing the magnet and reed switch. A 24-hour
period is required so that the adhesive on the
mounting pads can bond properly.

enhance your workout. By following the above precautions
and using good common sense, you will have many safe
and enjoyable hours of healthy exercise with your Precor

Before You Begin

Thank you for purchasing the easy-to-use electronic
console option for your Precor 903 Manual or 904 Total Body
Treadmill. Before assembling the console onto your
treadmill, take the time to read through this manual so that
you are familiar with the contents of the package and the
features on the electronic console.

Obtain the appropriate tools before assembling the electronic
console onto the 903 or 904 treadmill. You will need a Phillips
head screwdriver to attach the electronic console onto the
handrail clamp.

Unpacking the Electronic Console

Carefully unpack the electronic console and its components.
Make sure that you have the following items:

❑ one electronic console
❑ one mounting bracket with four (two short and two

long) Phillips head screws

❑ one reed switch and wire
❑ one magnet
❑ one ear clip and wire connector

page 4

❑ three C clips—holds reed switch wire to handrail
❑ two mounting pads (one thick and one thin pad)

If any items are missing, contact the dealer from whom you
purchased the treadmill or call 1-800-4-PRECOR for the dealer
nearest you.

Installing the Electronic Console

The handrail clamp can be used on either the 903 or 904
treadmill. However, the steps used to install the console
onto the clamp are slightly different depending on which
treadmill you have. Please refer to the steps that apply to
your treadmill.

903 Assembly Procedures

To install the 903 electronic console, take the following
steps:

1. Locate the handrail clamp in the box that accompanies the
electronic console’s box. Remove the long and short
screws from the handrail clamp using your fingers or a
Phillips head screwdriver. Set the screws aside. You can
discard the short screws since they are only used for the
904 assembly.

2. Place the handrail clamp around the mid-portion of the
handrail as shown in Diagram 1. Place a hand on
either side of the handrail clamp to gently pull it apart
so that you can slide it onto the handrail’s foam grip.

Important: Do not mount the clamp on the painted surface
of the handrails.

3. Unlock and remove the mounting bracket from the back of
the electronic console. Unlock the mounting bracket by
pushing it down toward the base of the console. See
Diagram 2.

4. Position the mounting bracket onto the handrail clamp so
that the smooth side of the plate is facing you. See
Diagram 3.

Diagram 4

5. Secure the mounting bracket and clamp by inserting the
two long screws through the mounting holes. You may
need to squeeze the ends of the clamp together to install
the screws. See Diagram 3. Tighten the screws into the
recessed holes on the mounting plate using the Phillips
head screwdriver. Do not over tighten the screws. A gap
should remain between the opposite sides of the handrail
clamp.

6. Unwrap the reed switch wire. Route the connector and
wire through the hole in the handrail clamp. See
Diagram 4.

7. Plug the connector into the receptacle as shown in
Diagram 4. Do not force the connection. The
connector is designed to engage in one direction only.
A tab on the connector and a slot on the receptacle
help you determine the proper alignment.

8. Align the back of the console with the mounting
bracket and slide the electronic console onto it. Gently
pull the excess wire through the hole in the handrail
clamp while you slide the console toward the rear of
the treadmill.

short screws out of the handrail clamp using your fingers or
a Phillips head screwdriver. Set the screws aside.

2. Position the handrail clamp over the right handrail’s
micro-adjustment knob as shown in Diagram 6. Place
a hand on either side of the handrail clamp to gently
pull it apart so that you can slide it onto the handrail’s
foam grip and into position (about 8 inches above the
base of the foam grip).

Important: Do not mount the clamp on the painted surface
of the handrails.
