the display when you wear a chest strap. To receive an
accurate reading, the chest strap needs to be in direct
contact with your skin. 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.
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).

features are available when
Important Use and Safety
Information
Read the following before using the heart rate or
SmartRate features.
CAUTION: 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. Your heart rate should
never exceed 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. If
it does, immediately slow down and adjust the ramp
incline or resistance to return to your physical
recommended target zone.
Consult your physician before engaging in any
vigorous exercise. Do not use the heart rate
programs until authorized by your physician.
Know your heart rate and your
physician-recommended heart rate target zone.
Individual heart rates vary according to several
physiological factors and may not correspond
directly with standardized guidelines.
Heart Rate Features
15
TRM 211 Owner's Manual 16
The calculation used for the heart rate target zone
is (220 minus your age) multiplied by a percent
and is controlled by the user increasing or
decreasing the incline. For example:
– Fat Burn program: (220 minus your age)
multiplied by 65%
– Cardio program: (220 minus your age)
multiplied by 80%
Additional information about calculating your
heart rate is available later in this chapter (refer to
Using SmartRate).
If you prefer to use the touch-sensitive heart rate
grips, grasp both touch-sensitive heart rate grips
and wait five to ten seconds. Make sure both
hands are moist.
Note: When a signal is detected, a number
appears in the HEART RATE display and indicates
your heart rate.
Always face forward on the treadmill and use the
handrail for balance. Keep upper body movement
to a minimum.
Figure 4: Heart rate target zones
Using the Touch-Sensitive
Heart Rate Grips
The treadmill console incorporates a heart rate
receiver so that you can monitor your heart rate while
exercising. If you grasp both touch-sensitive heart rate
grips, your heart rate (in beats per minute) appears on
the display.
You can monitor your heart rate at any time during
your workout if you grasp the touch-sensitive heart
rate grips. When you enter your age during the setup
prompts, the SmartRate display provides a visual cue
that helps you stay within your preferred heart rate
target zone.
Important: Enter your age when the treadmill prompts
you. If you do not, the information on the SmartRate
display will not be accurate.
The touch-sensitive grips are located on the treadmill’s
handlebars, as shown in the following figure. To allow
the treadmill to monitor your heartbeat, place the
palms of your hands directly onto the metal heart rate
sensors on the grips.
Heart Rate Features
17
TRM 211 Owner's Manual 18
To ensure a more accurate heart rate readout, follow
these tips:
Grip the sensors with both hands.
Wait at least 10 seconds for your heart rate to
register.
When gripping the sensors, do not grip tightly.
Keep a loose, cupping hold. Holding the grips too
tightly can affect the reading.
As you work out, your perspiration will help
transmit your heart rate signal. If you have
difficulty using the touch-sensitive grips to
determine your heart rate, try the sensors again
later in the workout to see if you can obtain a heart
rate signal.
Figure 5: Touch-sensitive heart rate grips
Using SmartRate
The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain
your heart rate in the target zone best suited to your
specific needs.
After you begin a workout, a blinking bar appears on
the SmartRate display. The blinking bar indicates the
current zone of your heart rate.
Important: To use the SmartRate feature, you must
choose a program and enter your age during the setup
phase of your exercise session.
The following table shows the percentages used in
calculating the heart rate target zones. While your

Programs
This section describes the programs available on the
treadmill.
CAUTION: Consult your physician to determine the
appropriate target heart rate for your age and fitness
level. Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your
maximum aerobic heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is
equal to 220 minus your age.
The program descriptions are presented in menu
selection order.
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.
Several exercise choices on the treadmill are
pre-programmed with recommendations for incline
levels, pace, and alternating intervals. You always have
the option to override the suggested levels.
Program Tips
Begin at the Precor banner (refer to Workout
Options).
A blinking column indicates your position as you
progress through a program.
To use the SmartRate feature, you need to specify
your age and hold on to the touch-sensitive heart
rate grips (refer to Using SmartRate).
To exercise indefinitely in any program, an
unlimited exercise time setting may be an available
option (refer to Selecting a Program).
If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce
your pace or change the incline using the SPEED or
INCLINE arrow keys to override each upcoming
column in the program profile.
To pause during a program, press the red STOP
key (refer to Pausing During a Workout or the
Cool-Down Period).
When you complete a program that contains a
time limit or specified distance, the automatic
cool-down period begins (refer to Cooling Down After a Workout).

Maintenance
45
TRM 211 Owner's Manual 46
To order parts or to contact a Precor authorized
service provider in your area, contact Precor Customer
Support.
Important: You should not attempt to service the
treadmill except for maintenance tasks as described in this
manual. The treadmill does not contain any
user-serviceable parts that require lubrication. For
information about product operation or service, see the
Precor web site at www.precor.com. For future reference,
write the model, serial number, and date of purchase for
your unit in the space provided. The serial number is
printed on a label located on the front panel, near the

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
weaken the paint or powder coatings and 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.
Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the unit to
prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can
affect the smooth operation of the unit. Use a soft
nylon scrub brush to clean the running belt.
Storing the Chest Strap
Store the chest strap in a place where it remains free of
dust and dirt such as, in a closet or drawer. Be sure to
protect the chest strap from extremes in temperature.
Do not store it in a place 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.
Important: You should not attempt to service the
treadmill except for maintenance tasks as described in this
manual. The treadmill does not contain any
user-serviceable parts that require lubrication. For

Treadmill 211 Assembly Guide 2
Getting Started
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 can void the Precor Limited Warranty.
Obtaining Service
Do not service the treadmill except for minor belt adjustments and maintenance
tasks as described in the owner’s manual. For more information regarding
customer support numbers or a list of Precor authorized service dealers, visit the
Precor web site at www.precor.com.
Installation Requirements
CAUTION: You will need assistance to assemble this unit. DO NOT attempt assembly
by yourself.
Follow these installation requirements when assembling the unit:
Assemble the unit near the location where you plan to use it and provide
ample space around the unit.
Important: Consult your owner’s manual for proper placement of your equipment.
Make sure that the power switch is OFF and that the treadmill is not plugged
into a power source. Check the ON/OFF power switch on the front of the
treadmill. Place the switch in the O (OFF) position.
Assemble the treadmill on a solid, flat surface. A smooth, flat surface under
the treadmill helps keep it level and a level treadmill will have fewer
malfunctions.
Open the box and assemble the components in the sequence presented in this
guide. If you plan to move the unit, obtain help and use proper lifting
techniques.
Important: Grasp the rear end of the treadmill frame or either side of the base
frame. Lift the treadmill and roll it on its front wheels. Do not grasp any other plastic
part while lifting or moving the unit. The plastic parts are not reinforced and they
may break.
Obtain assistance. Ask another capable adult for assistance during the
assembly process.
Use your fingers or the appropriate tools to insert fasteners. Proper alignment
helps prevent crossthreading. Do not fully wrench tighten fasteners until
instructed to do so.
WARNING

least one other person help you and use proper lifting
techniques.
To unpack the equipment:
1. Carefully cut and remove all plastic straps that secure the cover on the
cardboard box.
2. Lift the cover upward and set it aside.
3. Pull the cardboard or foam spacers away from the equipment and set them
aside.

Treadmill 211 Assembly Guide 12
Checking the Alignment
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.
To check the alignment:
1. The treadmill has adjustable rear feet. Make sure that the running surface is
level before aligning or adjusting the running belt. For more information, see
Leveling the Treadmill.
2. Connect the power plug to an appropriate dedicated circuit and turn the unit
On.
3. Stand beside the treadmill and press QUICKSTART.
Note: If needed, enter the password. Refer to your owner’s manual. The
running belt starts automatically after a 3-second countdown appears on the
display.
4. Increase the treadmill belt speed until the display shows a speed
of 3 mph (5 kph).
CAUTION: If you hear any chafing or see that the running belt appears to be getting
damaged, stop the running belt immediately by pressing the red STOP button.
Contact Precor Customer Support.
5. Walk around to the rear of the unit and observe the belt for a few minutes.
The belt should run centered along the running bed. If the belt drifts off center,
you will need to make adjustments. Refer to the next section.
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.
6. To stop the running belt, press the red STOP button.
7. Turn the treadmill Off.
Adjusting the Running Belt
If you are unsure about adjusting the running belt, contact Precor Customer
Support. Refer to Obtaining Service.
CAUTION: For your safety, use the power switch to turn Off the treadmill before
making any adjustments. Do not adjust the running belt when someone is standing
on the unit.
To adjust the running belt:
1. Locate the right belt adjustment bolt in the rear end cap of the treadmill.
Figure 19: Belt adjustment bolt location
2. To determine left and right, stand at the rear of the treadmill and face the
display. Make all belt adjustments on the right rear corner bolt using the 6
