Diagram 5: Heart rate target zones

• The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is: Low range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 55%

High range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 85%

• After you put on the chest strap, face the display console for a minimum of 15 seconds. This allows the receiver in the console to recognize the signal from the chest strap.

• If you prefer to use the hand-held heart rate feature, grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips and wait five to ten seconds. Your heart rate appears in the Heart Rate display.

• If three dashes (— — —) appear on the display, the treadmill cannot detect a heart rate. Make sure the chest strap is positioned properly around your chest and against your skin. If you are using the touch-sensitive handrail grips, make sure your hands are moist (not dry) and you use both hands.

• Always face forward on the treadmill and use the handrail for balance. Keep upper body movement to a minimum.

Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 12

Using the Heart Rate Touch-Sensitive Grips

While exercising, you must grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips for a minimum of five to ten seconds to transmit your heart rate to the display. Refer to Diagram 6.

Touch-sensitive handrail grips

Diagram 6: Touch-sensitive handrail grips

Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver inside the display console. However, some people, because of body chemistry or erratic heart beats cannot use the hand-held heart rate feature on the treadmill. A chest strap may provide better results.

Important: While exercising, do not grasp the touchsensitive handrail grips and wear the chest strap at the same time. The touch-sensitive handrail grips override the signals from the chest strap transmitter. If used together, inconsistent reading may occur.

Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 13

Using SmartRate

The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain your heart rate in the target zone best suited to your specific needs. All 15 LEDs may light during a workout. When the treadmill detects a heart rate, a single LED blinks and indicates the zone that your heart rate is in, either weight loss or cardiovascular.

The 15 LEDs in the SmartRate display are color-coded. A pulsating red LED indicates you are outside the recommended heart rate target zone. Yellow LEDs indicate when you are exercising within the weight loss zone. Green LEDs indicate when you are exercising within the cardiovascular zone.

Refer to Table 1 to see the relationship between the pulsating LED and your target heart rate.

The SmartRate indicator lights do not appear when:

• You press QUICKSTART at the banner.

• You bypass the AGE prompt.

• You do not wear or improperly position the chest strap.

• You fail to grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips for five to ten seconds.

Note: Review the information on the QUICKSTART card that accompanies your literature packet. It explains how to adjust the chest strap.

CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. If it does, immediately reduce your speed or, if possible, adjust the incline to return your heart rate to your physician-recommended target zone.

Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 14

Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate

The treadmill includes heart rate programs that let you exercise based on a specified heart rate or target zone. As you exercise, the heart rate programs monitor your heart rate and automatically maintain it within a few beats per minute (bpm) of the selected target or zone. Refer to Table 2. Your actual heart rate appears in the Heart Rate display.

You must wear the chest strap so the programs can monitor your heart rate throughout the workout. For more information, refer to Programs.

Selecting a User ID

Choosing a user ID enables the treadmill to identify you and, on the M9.35i, track your cumulative workout statistics. It also lets you personalize your workout session and stores information about your preferred program, workout time, weight, and age. The user IDs allow two (M9.33i) to six (M9.35i) people to customize, store, and retrieve workout selections.

The M9.35i treadmill allows you to change the display for a user ID so a name appears. For example, instead of USER 1 showing, you could see Mark or Pam. You might do this to confirm that you have selected the correct user ID if a number of people are using the treadmill. Refer to Changing a User ID to a Name (M9.35i).

Choosing a Program

Choosing a program depends on your goals. If you are a beginner or returning to regular exercise, you can start a cardio-conditioning program to slowly return your body to a comfortable level of exercise. If you have been exercising and feel that you have an intermediate or advanced fitness level, you probably have established goals. The Precor web site (www.precor.com) can give you many ideas about fitness workouts and advice from the experts.

Program Tips

• Work out indefinitely in a program. At the ENTER TIME prompt, use the arrow keys to select NO LIMIT or, on the M9.35i, press the number zero. While you exercise, TIME indicates the amount of time you have been exercising. If you choose to exercise without a time limit, the automatic 5-minute cool-down period is eliminated. You will need to incorporate a cool-down period by accessing the Manual Program.

Several workout choices on the treadmill are preprogrammed with recommendations for incline levels, pace, and alternating intervals. You always have the option to override the suggested levels with the exception of the M9.35i Fitness Test.

If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce your pace or change the incline using the arrow keys to override each upcoming column in the program profile. If you use the arrow keys, the program profile changes accordingly. When you complete a program that contains a time limit or distance limit, an automatic 5-minute cool-down period begins.

Owner’s Manual: Programs 34

Note: Programs that bypass the ENTER TIME prompt have a fixed time limit or goal.

• If a workout time or goal exists, the TIME display indicates the amount of time remaining in your workout session.

• A blinking column tracks the progress that you make during a program.

• When you select a user ID and a preset program such as Easy Walk or 5K, incline variations in the final column of the program are recorded.

• The interval programs record both incline and speed variations which appear the next time you choose the same interval program and user ID.

• On the M9.35i, the distance-based programs record and show your personal best record when you select a user ID and complete the program.

Two custom programs are available with each user ID. As you exercise, you customize the program by determining the speed or incline settings for each 1-minute column along the length of the profile. As each column elapses, the speed and incline for that column are stored in memory.

The subsequent columns repeat the last programmed speed or incline and are reflected in the program profile. Change the speed or incline using the arrow keys. When you complete the program, the settings are automatically recalled using the same user ID and program number.

Note: Custom programs only appear if you select a user ID.

Owner’s Manual: Programs 36

During the program, the TIME display relates to the amount of time remaining in the recorded columns. Total elapsed time appears when you record new columns.

Note: The length of the custom program and the number of speed and incline settings is limited to available memory in the treadmill. The program will not end if the available memory is exhausted, but the display notifies you and further changes to speed or incline are not saved. Approximately 1¹⁄₂ hours of recording time is available.

Clearing the Settings in a Custom Program

Perform the following steps to clear (delete) any speed and incline settings stored in a custom program.

1. At the Precor banner, select a user ID, and then press ENTER.

2. Display the custom program that you wish to clear.

Important: Clearing the speed and incline settings from a custom program permanently deletes them from memory.

3. While the custom program name appears on the display, hold the red STOP button for about fourteen seconds. After the CLEARED message appears on the display, you can release the key. Speed and incline information are reset to zero.

Note: During the 14-second delay and before the CLEARED message appears, you can release the red STOP button and no change will occur to the custom program settings.

The Fitness Test provides a 15-minute test consisting of five 3-minute sessions. You cannot adjust the speed or incline levels. When you complete the test, the display provides a fitness score and fitness category.

The Fitness Test measures the maximum amount of oxygen

max) the body can use for energy production during

(V0

exercise. The higher the amount of oxygen that your body can use enhances your ability to exercise for prolonged periods of time. The test results can help you gauge the effectiveness of your current exercise routine and tailor it to meet your fitness goals.

Owner’s Manual: Programs 38

Guidelines

Before selecting the Fitness Test, read the following guidelines:

• Sit and rest for at least five minutes prior to taking the test to bring your heart rate to a resting state.

• The fitness score is affected by your weight and age. You must enter this data during the setup phase.

• You must wear the chest strap throughout the test.

• The arrow keys are disabled during the test. Any pressure on the keys is ignored.

Using the Fitness Test

Let the program adjust the speed of the running belt and incline for you.

CAUTION: If you feel pain, faintness, or dizziness, stop the Fitness Test immediately. You can retake the Fitness Test later.

Completing the Fitness Test

When you finish the Fitness Test, the program slows the speed and returns incline to 0 percent. No automatic cooldown period is provided after the test.

Create your own cool-down period by pressing the QUICKSTART key to enter the Manual program and return your heart rate to a normal, restful state.

The Fitness Test automatically ends if one of the following occurs:

• You press the red STOP button.

• Your heart rate increases and remains for one minute above 85% of the maximum allowable heart rate (220 minus your age).

• Your heart rate cannot be detected.

• You complete the test.

Fitness Test Scores

When you complete the fitness test, your fitness score and cardiovascular fitness level is shown after the workout summary. The score is stored for future retrieval with your user ID. It appears on the display when 9 FITNESS TEST is selected as your desired program.

Note: If you do not receive a fitness score, it could be the result of erratic heart rate readings. Refer to Troubleshooting Heart Rate.

Tables 4 and 5 show the desired range in fitness levels depending on your age and gender. More information is available at the Precor web site (www.precor.com).

The Heart Rate Program lets you set a target for your heart rate. The program adjusts incline to maintain your heart rate within two beats per minute of the target heart rate while you exercise. To use this program, you must wear the chest strap so the treadmill can monitor your heart rate throughout the session.

During your workout, the number that represents your heart rate appears in the Heart Rate display.

For information about understanding your target heart rate, refer to Heart Rate Features.

Important: Consult your physician to determine the appropriate target heart rate for your age and fitness level. If you physician recommends a different target heart rate than the one that appears on the display, use the appropriate INCLINE arrow key to change the target heart rate once you finish the warm-up period. Do not work out over the recommended range.

Warm-up Period

The treadmill provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this time, you may change the speed or incline.

Note: If your heart rate moves into the target heart rate zone during the 3-minute warm-up period, the warm-up period ends and the Heart Rate Program begins.

Owner’s Manual: Programs 41

Using the Heart Rate Program

When you access the Heart Rate Program, the following occurs:

• The treadmill automatically adjusts the incline to keep your heart rate at the selected target. Pressing the INCLINE arrow keys no longer affects the incline of the running bed, but does change the target heart rate. Check the SmartRate display to see if you are maintaining your preferred zone (weight loss or cardiovascular). Check the Heart Rate display to determine your actual heart rate.

• You can change the target heart rate and speed anytime during a workout, but doing so affects the unit’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.

• When you complete the program, remember to add a cool-down period.

Note: If you are having difficulty with the heart rate features, refer to Troubleshooting Heart Rate.

The heart rate programs have been designed specifically for Precor treadmills by Dr. Emily Cooper of Seattle Performance Medicine. The programs (HR Endurance, HR Heart Health, HR Speed, and HR Weight Loss) are similar to the Heart Rate Program, but the HR programs move you through more specific cardio-conditioning fitness zones. Examples include warm-up, weight loss, cardio-conditioning, peak, and cool down.

Each program adjusts the incline to maintain your heart rate within two beats per minute of the target heart rate while you exercise. To use these programs, you must wear the chest strap so the treadmill can monitor your heart rate throughout the session.

Owner’s Manual: Programs 42

The chart below briefly explains the purpose of each program.

Program Description

HR Endurance Increase your aerobic activity and improve

heart muscle strength and power. The HR Endurance Program also provides a high intensity workout that enhances your fat-burning capability and increases your endurance. If you are beginning or returning to regular exercise, start with the Heart Rate Program or the HR Weight Loss Program before moving on to the HR Endurance Program.

HR Heart Health

Add variety and increase your endurance. The HR Heart Health Program is a good choice if you have been using the HR Weight Loss program for several weeks and wish to try something different. The HR Health Program keeps you in the weight loss zone 50% of the time and in the cardio-conditioning zone throughout the other half.

Program Description

HR Speed Intensify your workout with intervals that

consistently increase incline and speed. Be aware the HR Speed Program is an intense program designed to increase your anaerobic threshold and improve your percentage of aerobic capacity. Best results occur if you are already in good physical shape and conditioning.

HR Weight Loss

Improve fat-burning results and increase endurance every time you exercise. Use the HR Weight Loss Program especially if you are beginning exercise routines. It will help you achieve weight loss and increase your aerobic capacity.

The Interval Programs are among the best for conditioning your cardiovascular system. Each program raises and lowers your level of exertion repeatedly for a specified period of time.

Note: The M9.33i has only one interval program. You can specify the rest and work interval time and adjust the incline and speed throughout the program. Variations in incline and speed are saved when you complete the program if you selected a user ID.

On the M9.35i, three programs let you choose the rest and work intervals according to your training regimen.

Interval Program Rest Duration Work Duration

Interval 1:1 1 minute 1 minute

Interval 1:2 1 minute 2 minutes

Interval 1:3 1 minute 3 minutes

Incline is preprogrammed. You can set the speed and change the preprogrammed incline using the arrow keys. The settings are repeated throughout the program.

The display lets you know when the speed or incline levels are about to change, and indicates the levels of the next interval.

When you complete the program, the speed and incline settings are saved with your user ID and applied the next time you select the same Interval Program.

Every time the Random Program is selected, a different program profile appears. The columns that appear in the program profile show the preprogrammed incline. You can override the preprogrammed incline at any time using the INCLINE arrow keys.

The incline is preset to zero for the first column. The maximum change allowed between columns is plus or minus 3%.

The running belt speed is completely under your control and can be adjusted using the SPEED arrow keys.

The M9.33i Run Programs provide varying levels of exertion from an easy run (EASY RUN) to a more advanced level (ADVANCED RUN) and have preprogrammed inclines similar to the walk programs. The percentage of incline and the frequency with which the profile changes determine the level of difficulty. You can override the incline level by pressing the INCLINE arrow keys. The change is stored in memory.

With the Weight Loss Program, the workout time is fixed at 28 minutes and consists of seven 4-minute intervals. You are not prompted for a workout time. During your workout, use the arrow keys to change the speed or incline during the rest or work interval. When you make changes, the software repeats the settings for the remaining intervals.

For ideal weight loss, your heart rate should be between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. Set a comfortable pace and adjust the speed and incline to meet the target range. To use this program, you should wear the chest strap so you can monitor your heart rate throughout the session using SmartRate. Refer to Heart Rate Features.

Troubleshooting Error Codes

If any error codes appear in the center display, turn the unit OFF and ON. If the error continues to occur, call an authorized service person for assistance. Refer to

Obtaining Service.

Owner’s Manual: Advanced Programming and Troubleshooting 57

Troubleshooting Heart Rate

Table 6 may help you understand and troubleshoot erratic heart rate readings.

Important: A heart rate can only be detected when the Precor heart rate receiver is properly installed in the display and the treadmill is turned on. You must also wear the chest strap or hold on to both touch-sensitive handrail grips.

Table 6. Erratic heart rate readings

What appears on the display Cause What to Do

Nothing The heart rate

receiver is not installed or it has been disconnected.

— — — A signal is being

detected, but the transmission requires more time to establish a heart rate.

Pulsing HR LED The LED lights

briefly when a heart beat is detected.

To receive Customer Support, refer to Obtaining Service.

Be sure the chest strap is in direct contact with your skin. If using the grips, use both hands and make sure your hands are moist, not dry.

If the LED is pulsating, it indicates that the heart rate equipment is working properly.

Note: To conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart, both touch-sensitive handrail grips must be grasped firmly for five to ten seconds. Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver in the display console. However, because of body chemistry or erratic heartbeats, some people cannot use the heart rate feature. A chest strap may provide better results. Refer to the QuickStart Card for proper placement of the chest strap.

Owner’s Manual: Advanced Programming and Troubleshooting 58

Maintenance

It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in this section. Failure to maintain the treadmill as described here could 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

Inspect the treadmill daily.

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. If you notice any of these, obtain service.

Important: If you determine that the treadmill needs service, ensure that the treadmill cannot be used inadvertently. Turn the unit OFF, and then unplug the power cord from its power source. Make sure other users know that the treadmill needs service.

2. Check for worn, frayed or missing safety lanyards. Replace missing or worn safety lanyards immediately. Do not exercise on the treadmill without attaching the safety clip to your clothing.

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

Cleaning the Equipment

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

Precor recommends the treadmill be cleaned before and after each workout. Use mild soap and water to dampen a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove any dust or dirt.

CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will void the Precor Limited Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the treadmill. Allow the treadmill to dry completely before using.

Owner’s Manual: Maintenance 59

Periodically, clean the running belt using a soft nylon scrub brush. Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth operation of the unit.

Storing the Chest Strap

Store the chest strap where dust and dirt cannot accumulate on it, such as a closet or drawer. Be sure to keep the chest strap protected from extremes in temperature. Do not store it in an area that may be exposed to temperatures below 32° F (0° C).

To clean the chest strap, use a sponge or soft cloth dampened in mild soap and water. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.

Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt

Proper belt alignment allows the belt to remain centered and ensures smooth operation. Realigning the belt takes a few simple adjustments. If you are unsure about this procedure, call Precor Customer Support. Refer to Obtaining Service.

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 fingers and 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

1. The treadmill has adjustable rear feet. Make sure that the running surface is level. If the treadmill is placed on an uneven surface, adjusting the rear feet can help, but will not compensate for extremely uneven surfaces.

2. Turn the unit ON.

3. Stand beside the treadmill and press QUICKSTART.

Owner’s Manual: Maintenance 60

4. If needed, enter the password by pressing the following keys in sequence INCLINE ▼, SPEED ▼, SPEED ▲.

The running belt starts automatically after a 3-second countdown appears on the display.

5. Press the SPEED ▲ key until the display shows a speed of 3 mph (5 kph).

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 button. Contact Precor Customer Support.

6. Walk around to the rear of the unit and observe the belt for a few minutes. The belt should be centered on the running belt. If the belt drifts off center, you must make adjustments.

Important: If the belt needs alignment, make the adjustments at once. Failure to align the belt may cause the belt to tear or fray, which is not covered by the Precor Limited Warranty.

Adjusting the Running Belt

If you are unsure about adjusting the running belt, call Precor Customer Support (refer to Obtaining Service).

CAUTION: For your safety, use the I/O power switch to turn OFF the treadmill before making any adjustments. Do not adjust the running belt when someone is standing on the unit.

1. Locate the right belt adjustment bolt in the rear end cap of the treadmill. Make all belt adjustments on the right rear corner bolt using the hex key provided. Refer to Diagram 8.

7. To stop the running belt, press the red STOP button.

8. Turn the treadmill OFF.

Owner’s Manual: Maintenance 61

Diagram 8: Location of the adjustment bolt

• If the belt is off center to the LEFT, turn the adjusting

bolt ¼ turn counterclockwise, which moves the running belt to the right.

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

¼ turn clockwise; this moves the belt to the left.

Important: Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than ¼ turn at a time. Overtightening the bolt can damage the treadmill.

2. Recheck the alignment of the running belt.

Servicing the Treadmill

Do not attempt to service the treadmill yourself except for the maintenance tasks described in this manual. The unit does not contain any user-serviceable parts that require lubrication. For information about product operation or service, see the Precor website at www.precor.com.

Long-Term Storage

When the treadmill is not in use for any length of time, turn it OFF. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged from its power source and is positioned so that it will not become damaged or interfere with people or other equipment.

QUICKSTART™

CAUTION: Before using the treadmill, read all these instructions. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

• Do not allow children or those unfamiliar with its

operation on or near the treadmill.

• Before beginning any fitness program, see

your physician for a thorough physical examination. Seek advice from your physician to learn the target heart rate appropriate for your fitness level.

• At the beginning of a workout, straddle

the belt by placing your feet firmly on the right and left staging platforms.

• Always face the display and use

the handrail for balance. Never attempt to turn around on the treadmill while the running belt is moving.

• If you feel pain, faintness, or

dizziness, stop exercising immediately.

Use the Safety Clip

Always attach the safety clip to your clothing before each workout. A tug on the lanyard trips the safety switch inside the display and stops the running belt. If the safety switch trips while you are exercising, the treadmill retains your workout statistics and enters pause mode. To resume your workout, reattach the safety clip to your clothing, enter the password, and then press the SPEED ▲ key.

Workout Tips

• Before and after a workout, gently stretch your

lower body and back to help prevent stiffness or soreness.

• At the beginning of a workout, take several

minutes to bring your heart rate into your target zone (shown in Diagram D on the other side of this card).

• Incorporate a cool-down period into your

workout to help lower your heart rate and minimize muscle stiffness and soreness.

• Keys on the keypad respond to the slightest

touch. Use gentle pressure on the keys as you exercise.

• To display your heart rate, wear a chest strap or

use both hands to grasp the touch-sensitive handrail grips.

Choose a Program

• Determine your level of fitness: beginner,

intermediate, or advanced.

• Determine your immediate goal: endurance

training, cardio-conditioning, or weight loss.

If you are a beginner, start a cardio-conditioning program to slowly adjust your body to a comfortable level of exercise. Over a recommended 8-week period, you will increase your endurance and strength while improving flexibility.

If you have been exercising and feel that you have reached an intermediate or advanced fitness level, you probably have established goals for yourself.

For all fitness levels, plan to exercise at a comfortable pace for 20 to 30 minutes a day. Wear a chest strap to monitor your heart rate. Supplement your plans with fitness workouts from the Precor website (www.precor.com). The Precor website provides numerous fitness workouts and expert advice to help you reach your fitness goals.

Wear a Chest Strap

During a workout, the heart rate features appear on the display when you wear a chest strap. To receive an accurate reading, the strap needs to be in direct contact with your skin. Be sure to wear the chest strap underneath your clothing.

Note: The Precor heart rate receiver must be properly installed in the display console before a heartbeat can be detected. Check with your dealer to make sure it is installed in your product.

1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water (Diagram A).

Important: Do not use deionized water. It does not have the proper minerals and salts to conduct electrical impulses.

2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest. The strap should feel snug, not restrictive (Diagram B).

3. Make sure that the chest strap is right side up, lies horizontally across your chest, and is centered in the middle of your chest (Diagram C).

Diagram A Diagram B Diagram C

When these steps are complete, you are ready to view your heart rate!

SmartRate® and Heart Rate Features

The SmartRate and heart rate displays provide visual cues that help you adjust your fitness routine to reach your goals. Use these features to keep your heart rate within the target zones for weight loss or cardioconditioning.

When you begin a workout, a blinking segment in the SmartRate display appears if you entered your age during the setup phase. The blinking segment indicates the current zone of your heart rate: weight loss or cardiovascular. For the ideal weight loss range, your heart rate should remain between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. To improve your overall cardiovascular and respiratory fitness level, maintain your heart rate between 70% and 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate.

For the greatest benefits, maintain your heart rate in either zone (weight loss or cardiovascular) for 30 minutes or more at least three times a week.

CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate or go above your target zone (Diagram D).

Cool 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.

Low-Impact Treadmills

Thank you for choosing Precor. For proper installation, please read this guide thoroughly and follow the assembly instructions. If you do not assemble the treadmill according to these guidelines, you could void the Precor Limited Warranty.

Obtaining Service

You should not attempt to service the treadmill except for minor belt adjustments and maintenance as described in the owner’s manual. If any items are missing, contact your dealer. Should you need more information regarding Customer Support numbers or a list of Precor authorized Service Centers, visit the Precor website at www.precor.com.

Unpacking the Equipment

The treadmill is carefully tested and inspected before shipment. The unit is shipped in one box. Ask for help from two or more people to unpack and assemble the treadmill.

Required Tools

• ½-inch box end or crescent wrench

•String

Installation Requirements

Follow these installation requirements when assembling the unit:

• Assemble the unit near the location where you plan to use it.

• Provide ample space around the unit.

Open space around the unit allows for easier access.

• Set up the unit on a solid, flat surface.

A smooth, flat surface under the unit helps keep it level. A level unit has fewer malfunctions.

• Open the box and assemble the components in the sequence presented in this guide.

• Insert all fasteners in the same direction.

For aesthetic purposes, insert all the fasteners in the same direction unless specified (in text or illustrations) to do otherwise.

• Insert all fasteners with your fingers.

Use your fingers to properly align and thread the fasteners before wrench tightening. This helps alleviate cross-threading. Do not fully wrench tighten fasteners until instructed to do so.

Important: When wrench-tightened, the head of the fastener should be flush with the product. If it is not, cross-threading has occurred. Do not attempt to rework the assembly as more damage to the equipment will occur. Call Customer Support. Refer to Obtaining Service.

• Tape

• Wire tie cutter
