provides a path of least resistance for electric current which reduces the risk of electrical  
shock. The C934 treadmill is equipped with a power cord having an equipment-grounding  
conductor and a grounding plug.The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is  
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.If you do  
not follow these Grounding Instructions, you could void the Precor limited warranty.  
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can

Unpacking the Treadmill  
Thank you for purchasing the Precor C934 treadmill. Built to the exacting stan-  
dards of the health club environment, the treadmill is intended for commercial  
use and can withstand the rigors of daily club use with little maintenance.  
Important: Before using the treadmill, we urge you to familiarize yourself and  
your staff with the entire Owner’s Manual. Understanding this manual will help  
you and your customers use the treadmill safely and successfully.  
Your treadmill is carefully inspected before shipment so it should arrive in good  
operating condition. Precor ships the unit in the following pieces:  
❑
❑
❑
❑
Base frame assembly  
Right and left upright supports  
Display console  
❑
❑
❑
Power cord  
Hardware kit  
Owner’s Manual  
Right and left handrails  
CAUTION: This unit weighs over 320 pounds (146 kilograms). To prevent  
injury to yourself or damage to the equipment, obtain appropriate assis-  
tance before removing the unit from the pallet.  
If any items are missing, refer to Obtaining Service on page 7.  
STANDARD EQUIPMENT  
The treadmill incorporates the Precor SmartRate® and Heart Rate features into  
its display console. Devices, such as FitLinxx®, that are CSAFE compatible, can  
also be attached.  
The Precor “touch” heart rate is standard on the C934 and provides two metal  
strips, called “grips,” on the center portion of the handrails.When a user places  
both hands on the grips, a heart rate is transmitted to the receiver.  
Note: If a user does not wish to use the touch-sensitive hand grips, an optional  
POLAR® chest strap can be purchased and worn.The chest strap transmits the  
user’s heart rate and it appears as a number in the HEART RATE display.  
Important: The user must place the left hand on the left handrail grip and their  
right hand on the right handrail grip to transmit their heart rate. Placing one  
hand on a grip does not provide sufficient signal to display the user’s heart rate.  
OTHER EQUIPMENT  
Optional equipment available through your dealer includes:  
POLAR® chest strap.

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:  
1. The treadmill has adjustable rear feet. Check to make sure that the running  
surface is level (refer to steps 19 and 20 on page 20).  
2. Locate the I/O switch at the front of the treadmill and turn the unit ON.  
3. Stand beside the treadmill and press QUICKSTART.The running belt starts  
automatically after the message, “Belt Starting 3, 2, 1,...” appears.  
4. Continue standing next to the treadmill and hold down the Speed ▲ key  
until the display shows a speed of 3 miles per hour (5 kph).  
5. Walk around to the rear of the unit and observe the belt for a few minutes as  
it moves.  
If the running belt,...

runs or drifts off center  
you need to adjust the belt; see  
Aligning the Running Belt, page 47.  
Important: If you notice that the belt needs alignment, make the adjust-  
ments at once. Failure to do so might 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.  
If the belt is functioning correctly, the treadmill is ready to use. Please continue  
on to Club Information to learn how to customize the treadmill for your Club.

DETERMINING THE CLUB SPEED LIMIT  
You can set the maximum speed for the treadmill. This limits how fast the running  
belt moves and, consequently, how many adjustments a user can make to the  
treadmill’s speed.The speed is displayed in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per  
hour (kph) depending upon the units of measure (Metric or U.S. standard) that are  
selected.  
The ▼▲ keys let you choose a speed between:  
0.5 to 11.0 mph  
1 to 18 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 miles per hour (U.S. standard) to kilometers per hour (Metric).  
It stores separate numbers for the different units of measure.  
SETTING A WORKOUT TIME LIMIT  
You can limit how long a user works out by setting a duration between 1 and 240  
minutes.The treadmill also lets you choose “INFINITE” (found at the zero point be-  
tween 240 and 1) which allows the user to select a course and work out indefinitely.  
Note: The QuickStart program is automatically limited to the Club limit.  
However, if a user presses QUICKSTART at the Precor banner, and the Club  
program has limited workout time to less than 30 minutes, then that duration  
takes effect.For example, if you set the workout time limit to 20 minutes, the tread-  
mill allows users to specify a workout between 1 and 20 minutes. Users cannot  
specify a time longer than 20 minutes.  
Important: Exceptions to the rule above include the Cross Country course (set  
at 30 minutes) and the Weight Loss course (set at 28 minutes).  
Use the ▼▲ keys to select a workout time limit. Touch either ▼▲ key and the  
display changes in one minute increments. Press and hold the ▼ or ▲ key and the  
numbers advance or decrease faster. Take into account that the user may get  
an additional five-minute cool down period appended to his or her workout  
(depending on course selection), so adjust the maximum time limit accordingly.  
Note:If the workout time is set to INFINITE, users can workout indefinitely, so no  
cool-down period is appended to the course selection.  
SETTING A PAUSE TIME LIMIT  
Setting a Pause time limit is useful because the treadmill returns to the Precor  
banner at a selected interval after the Stop key is pressed whether the user  
planned to return or not.  
Use the ▼▲ keys to set a Pause time limit between 1 and 120 seconds (two minutes).

SMARTRATE® DISPLAY  
A user must enter an AGE (during the course Setup prompts) and wear a  
POLAR® chest strap, while in a course program, before the blinking segment in  
the bar graph can show the zone that his or her heart rate is in, either:Weight Loss  
or Cardiovascular.  
Weight Loss Zone: Maintaining the heart rate between 55% and 70% of  
the user’s maximum aerobic heart rate, helps burn enough calories that,  
when continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes or more, provides the  
greatest fat-burning results.  
Cardiovascular Zone:Maintaining the heart rate between 70% and 85% of  
the user’s maximum aerobic heart rate, helps (when continued on a regular  
basis for 30 minutes or more) improve the user’s overall cardiovascular/  
cardiorespiratory fitness level.  
Important: During a course, a user’s heart rate must be above 40 beats per  
minute before the segment begins to blink.Note that pressing QUICKSTART,  
at the Precor banner display, disables the SmartRate® display feature.  
HEART RATE: The heart rate display lets the user monitor their heart rate.  
When a heart beat is detected, the number appears in the small upper right  
display (refer to Diagram 20).If the user does not grasp the grips on the handrail  
or wear the optional POLAR® chest strap, a heart rate will not be detected and  
no pulse rate appears.  
SETUP MODE AND PROMPTS  
From the Precor banner, a user accesses the Setup mode which lets him or her  
“set” the course, workout time, weight, and age parameters prior to working out.  
The Precor banner is the “starting point” to begin a workout. It indicates that the  
C934 is ready to accept user entries.If the banner does not appear on the display,  
press the RESET key. If the display appears blank, make sure that the treadmill is  
turned ON.  
Note: Key presses to the INCLINE ▼▲ or SPEED ▼▲ keys are ignored when the  
banner is being displayed. Refer to page 33 for more information about the keypad.  
COURSE:The COURSE prompt indicates that the C934 is ready to accept course  
entries.The course names and profiles appear on the display console label.The  
▼ and ▲ keys allow the user to scroll through the available courses. The left  
portion of the display presents the abbreviated name of the course, while the  
right half displays the course profile. The text blinks indicating that it is awaiting  
approval.To choose the selection being displayed and continue in Setup mode,  
press Enter. (Refer to The Setup Mode and the QuickStart Feature on page 30.)  
Note: Depending on the course that is selected, the user may be prompted for  
other information. Refer to Courses on page 41.

Note: The Club manager has the ability to set a time limit on the length of a  
workout. Refer to Club Information on page 23. (The Weight Loss and Cross  
Country courses have a preset time limit so aWORKOUTTIME prompt does not  
occur when a user chooses WTLS or XCTR.)  
WEIGHT:Acceptable entries range from 1 through 999 (pounds or kilograms).A  
user can change the blinking number using the ▼ and ▲ keys or accept the  
displayed number (and continue in Setup mode) by pressing ENTER.  
Important:A number that reflects the user’s actual weight must be entered since  
the calorie count and several other calculations are based on the weight entry.  
AGE: Acceptable entries range from 1 to 99. Change the blinking number using  
the ▼ and ▲ keys or accept the displayed number by pressing ENTER. Initially,  
the number zero appears on the display. Once the ▲ key is pressed the number

The QUICKSTART key acts the same as the ENTER key at  
this point because all the Setup prompts have been answered.  
DISPLAY FEATURES DURING A WORKOUT  
Note: The Setup prompts that appear in this display prior to a workout need to be  
addressed using the keypad keys. Refer to Setup Mode and Prompts on page 29.  
During workouts, the course profile that appears in the display corresponds  
to the selected course. The blinking column in the course profile indicates the  
incline level and user’s progress along the course.  
Once the running belt begins moving, indicator lights appear in the columns below  
the display and indicate which information is being displayed. A user can highlight  
a particular feature by pressing the appropriate SELECT key.  
The following describes the information that can appear in the display.  
TIME:As a user works out, TIME indicates the amount of time spent in his or her  
work out. The time (00:00) display appears when the workout begins. Time ap-  
pears in minutes and seconds.However, should a user exceed 60 minutes (during  
a single workout), the Time display converts to hours and minutes. When  
QUICKSTART is pressed at the banner or INFINITE is available and is selected  
during the Setup prompts, the Time display shows how long a user has been  
working out.However, in warm-up and cool-down periods, and in all other courses,  
the Time display indicates the minutes remaining.  
Important: A user’s “pace” (time per mile or kilometer) can also be displayed in  
the TIME field. Refer to the SPEED keys on page 34.  
DISTANCE: The distance travelled appears (0.00) once a user begins a course.  
The distance can appear in miles or kilometers.Note that if the distance exceeds  
65 miles (km) in a single workout, the display resets to zero. To change which  
units of measure appear on the display, the club owner or manager can follow

CALORIES: Provides the cumulative number of calories being burned by the user.  
INCLINE: Displays the selected percent of incline during a workout. The INCLINE  
▲ and ▼ keys affect the treadmill’s lift and let the user set an incline between 0  
percent and 15 percent. The displayed values change in 0.5 percent increments.  
Refer to INCLINE ▲▼ keys on page 33.  
When the INCLINE field is selected and the target incline changes from the actual  
incline (as in a preprogrammed course), the target incline appears in the display.It  
continues to be displayed as the lift moves to the new incline level. A few seconds  
after the lift reaches the requested incline, the display no longer appears.  
Note: To check the incline (when it is not the chosen display) any time during a  
workout, lightly press either INCLINE ▲ or ▼ key for less than two seconds. If a  
user presses the INCLINE ▲ or ▼ key for more than two seconds, the treadmill’s  
incline will change.  
COURSE PROFILE: At the beginning of a course, the profile appears on the  
right side of the display and corresponds to the course that the user selected.As  
the user proceeds through his or her workout, the position in the course is indi-  
cated by a blinking column.The height of the column indicates the level of incline.  
Every time the incline changes by several sequential levels (up or down) the  
height of the column changes by one cell.  
CALORIES PER MINUTE: Indicates the approximate number of calories being  
burned per minute.  
METS: Displays the metabolic equivalents associated with a user’s current energy  
expenditure level. A METS level of 1 represents the body at rest. Note that when  
the running belt stops moving, the METS value displays zero.  
SPEED: Displays the running belt’s speed.The running belt speed ranges from  
0.5 to 11 mph (1 to 18 kph), but a maximum speed can be set by the club (see  
Club Information on page 23). The SPEED ▼▲ keys let a user decrease or  
increase the running belt’s speed in 0.1 increments.  
Important: To check the speed (when it is not the chosen display) any time  
during a workout, the user can lightly press either SPEED ▼ or ▲ key (for less  
than two seconds). The running belt’s speed appears in the right portion of the  
display. If a user presses the SPEED ▼ or ▲ key for more than two seconds, the  
treadmill’s speed will change.  
PACE: Displays the user’s target speed in minutes and seconds per mile (or kilome-  
ter).The user’s pace appears in theTIME field when the SPEED indicator is not lit and  
the user taps the SPEED ▼ or ▲ key.

Display console keypad.  
QUICKSTART: When pressed at the  
Precor banner, the running belt begins  
moving after a three second delay.  
SmartRate® is inactive and default values  
apply.  
Keypad keys  
The keypad keys let the user:  
• control your workout session,  
• answer prompts prior to starting a course,  
• determine which display features appear,  
• prematurely end a course, and  
• adjust the incline and speed levels.  
KEYS ON THE DISPLAY CONSOLE  
The following information explains the different uses of the keys on the keypad.  
To locate each key, look at the display console or refer to Diagram 21.  
INCLINE ▲▼: During a workout, the INCLINE ▲▼ keys let the user increase or  
decrease the incline in 0.5 percent increments.The display can show a range from  
0 percent to 15 percent.  
When a user changes the incline by pressing the INCLINE ▲ or ▼ key, the number  
that appears on the display shows the target incline (not necessarily, the present  
incline) because the display can change much faster than the treadmill’s lift.  
Note: Anytime during a workout, the user can view the actual incline by lightly  
touching either INCLINE ▲ or ▼ key.The percent of incline appears on the left of  
the display.To change the incline, the user must hold the key down for more than  
two seconds.  
During Setup mode, the INCLINE ▲▼ keys are used for data selection. Pressing  
either ▲ or ▼ key does not affect the incline. However the ▲ or ▼ keys do affect  
what appears on the display. Refer to Setup Mode and Prompts on page 29.  
SELECT keys: During a course, the SELECT keys change what items appear on the  
display. Refer to Changing the Display Features Using the Select Key on page 35.  
RESET: Provides access to diagnostics (see Club Information on page 23) and  
lets the user access the WORKOUT SUMMARY display while in Pause mode. If  
the user presses RESET again, he or she exits the WORKOUT SUMMARY and  
returns to the Precor banner. Note that if the user presses RESET during the  
Setup mode, he or she returns to the Precor banner.

Exercising on the Treadmill  
Once the C934 is set up, it is ready to use.There are no complex instructions to  
follow or mandatory programming steps required to operate the treadmill. The  
easy-to-understand prompts let the user select a course and specify how long  
he or she wishes to work out. The speed and incline levels can be adapted to  
meet fitness goals.  
Important: Club owners, managers, personal trainers. Remind users how  
important it is to use the treadmill’s safety features and security clip while working  
out 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 security cord or a quick tap  
on the STOP key will stop the running belt.  
Note: This section of the manual is written for the user because it specifically  
explains how to work out on the treadmill.References are made in second person.  
Information presented in this section includes:  
• Using the safety features  
• Quick steps to working out  
• Reviewing keypad and workout tips • Cooling down, pause andexiting features  
CAUTION:Do not allow children on or near the treadmill. If anything should  
get caught in the rollers, the running belt does not stop immediately.  
USING THE SECURITY CLIP  
A security clip is attached by its cord to the red Stop button that straddles the handrail.  
Always attach the security clip to your clothing before each workout. A tug on  
the cord trips the security switch and slows the running belt to a stop. If the security  
switch trips while you are working out, the treadmill retains your workout statistics  
and enters Pause mode. To resume your workout, reattach the security clip to your  
clothing, and press the SPEED ▲ key until you reach the desired speed.  
Important: Club owners, managers, personal trainers. Remind users how  
important it is to use the security clip while working out 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 security cord will stop the running belt.  
USING THE HANDRAILS  
Always grasp the handrails to keep your balance when stepping on to or off of  
the treadmill. Hold onto one handrail when touching the keypad with the other.  
USING THE HEART RATE “TOUCH” CAPABILITY  
If a user wishes to view his or her heart rate on the display, instruct them to  
grasp the touch-sensitive strips (called “grips”) on the handrails while working  
out. A heart rate signal is transmitted to the receiver installed in the display  
console. During a workout, the heart rate indicator displays the heart rate. This  
lets the user see what his or her heart rate is doing even when the display is  
presenting other workout statistics.

COOLING DOWN AFTER A 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. The treadmill automatically initiates a five-minute cool-down period on  
several of its courses. A prompt appears, indicating that you are in cool down.  
During your cool down, the workout statistics continue to appear. The Time  
display counts down so you know how much time remains. When you complete  
the five-minute cool down, a WORKOUT SUMMARY banner appears. See the  
information on page 40.The following information describes what happens when  
you press certain keys while in the cool-down mode.

Courses  
The C934 lets the user choose between six courses.This section provides informa-  
tion about the special features and functions of the treadmill’s courses and how to  
best utilize the:  
• SmartRate® feature  
• Cross Country course  
• Weight Loss course  
• Heart Rate course  
• Manual course  
• Interval course  
• Random course  
Note:To choose a course (other than Manual), begin at the Precor banner and  
press ENTER. User-friendly prompts guide the user through the course selec-  
tions. Refer to Quick Steps to Working Out on page 37.  
THE HEART RATE FEATURE  
To use the heart rate features you must wear the POLAR® chest strap while  
working out unless you are using the C934 with the touch-sensitive handrail  
grips.The chest strap transmits your heart rate signal to the receiver installed in  
the display console. The signal appears as a number in the heart rate display.  
This lets you monitor your heart rate even when the display is presenting other  
workout statistics.  
USING THE SMARTRATE® FEATURE  
Add the benefit of SmartRate® to every course on the treadmill.Using SmartRate®  
as a visual cue helps a user adjust their exercise routine to suit specific needs.  
SmartRate® simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise. A user  
doesn’t have to stop concentrating on a workout to find a pulse. It is displayed  
right in front of them along with the SmartRate® zone. Once a user begins a  
workout, a blinking segment in the bar graph appears on the left of the display,  
if a user entered an age during the Setup prompts. The segment blinks in time  
with the user’s pulse and highlights the zone that their heart rate is in: Weight  
Loss or Cardiovascular.  
Important: Access to SmartRate® is only available when the person exercising  
wears a POLAR® chest strap or uses the touch-sensitive grips on the handrails.  
(The POLAR® chest strap is separate purchase option.) The SmartRate® indi-  
cator lights do not appear when QUICKSTART is used to select a course.  
For the ideal “weight loss” range, a user’s heart rate should be between 55% and  
70% of his or her maximum aerobic heart rate. It should never exceed 85% of his  
or her maximum aerobic heart rate or go above the user’s target zone. Refer to  
Diagram 22 for the appropriate target zone.

YOUR AGE  
When the user maintains his or her heart rate between 70% and 85% of the maxi-  
mum aerobic heart rate, the user is improving his or her overall cardiovascular/  
cardiorespiratory fitness level. Maintaining the heart rate in either zone (weight loss  
or cardiovascular) for 30 minutes or more on a regular basis (minimum 3 times a  
week) provides the greatest benefits.  
MANUAL MODE AND THE QUICKSTART KEY  
Manual mode lets the user control the incline and running belt speed which affects  
the effort put into a workout. As with other courses, when a user completes the  
time limit set for the course, the automatic cool-down period begins.  
A user can choose Manual mode in two different ways:  
•
pressing the QUICKSTART key at the Precor banner. QUICKSTART bypasses  
the remaining selections and starts the Manual course. Default values apply.  
Refer to pages 30 and 34.  
•
pressing ENTER at the Precor banner. This causes the C934 to display several  
Setup prompts. At the course prompt, a user selects the MANL course.

The Manual course profile appears as a flat line. Use the ▼▲ keys to adjust the  
incline or speed.(See pages 33 and 34 for more information on key function.) As  
the user proceeds with his or her workout, a blinking segment represents his or  
her position on the course.  
CROSS COUNTRY COURSE  
The Cross Country course is a preprogrammed 30-minute course.The incline is  
predetermined. A user can make changes to the running belt speed using the  
SPEED ▼▲ keys throughout the course and even the preset incline can be  
overridden using the INCLINE ▲▼ keys.  
INTERVAL COURSE  
The interval course on the C934 lets the user select the rest and work intervals  
according to his or her training regimen. Each rest interval is followed by one  
work interval.The user sets the incline and speed for first rest and work interval  
and the software repeats the intervals throughout the course. At any point during  
the workout, the user can change the settings of the current interval by simply  
pressing the ▼▲ keys.The software remembers the new settings and applies it  
to the appropriate rest or work interval from that point forward.  
Important: If a user entered his or her age during the Setup prompts and wears  
the POLAR® chest strap or grasps both heart rate grips on the handrails, the user  
can adjust the rest or work intervals to keep his or her heart rate in its recommended  
zone. For the weight loss mode, try to maintain a heart rate at the lower end (55% of  
maximum heart rate) while in the “rest” intervals and keep it at 70% of maximum  
heart rate while in the “work” intervals. See Diagram 22 on page 42.  
To use the interval course, take the following steps:  
1. Follow the instructions on page 37, Quick Steps to Working Out.  
2. At the COURSE prompt, use the ▼▲ key to select INTV.  
3. Press ENTER to proceed to the next prompt.When a user finishes answer-  
ing the Setup prompts, the Interval course begins.  
To set the incline and speed levels for each interval, have the user take the  
following steps:  
1. To program the rest interval, press the INCLINE ▼▲ keys and SPEED ▼▲  
keys to change the corresponding levels. When the desired settings are dis-  
played, simply continue working out—the user does not need to press ENTER.  
The C934 returns to the “rest” settings at the beginning of each rest interval  
until the user readjusts it or end his or her workout.  
2. The same procedure applies to specify the settings for the work interval.  
The value that appears in the SEGMENTTIME field indicates the time remaining  
in the current interval. Each time the C934 changes intervals, it informs the user  
by displaying a message.When a user completes the time limit set for the course,  
the automatic cool-down period begins.

THE WEIGHT LOSS COURSE  
The PrecorWeight Loss course incorporates the latest findings on fat-burning and  
weight loss through exercise. It is based on research at the world-renowned  
Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research and it is designed to help the user burn the  
most fat during a 28-minute workout, while minimizing the risk of discomfort and  
injury. The Weight Loss program is similar to the Interval course.The C934 auto-  
matically adjusts the incline of the treadmill while in the rest or work intervals.  
Note:For the C934 to detect a heart rate, the user must wear the POLAR® chest  
strap. The POLAR® chest strap is optional equipment that can be purchased  
from a dealer.  
To use the Weight Loss program, follow the steps found in Quick Steps to Work-  
ing Out on page 37.When the COURSE prompt appears, choose WTLS.  
Important: During a workout, the user can change the incline, but doing so will  
cause the effectiveness of the Weight Loss program to vary.  
Note: When the user completes the time limit set for the course, the automatic

RANDOM COURSE  
The C934 Random course is similar to the preprogrammed courses in that its  
incline is preset. However, the differences include:  
✓
✓
a “0” percent incline for the first segment (column).  
the maximum range that the incline can be changed is fixed at plus or  
minus 4 percent.  
✓
the course profile changes every time a user chooses this course.

HEART RATE COURSE  
Once the user sets a target heart rate and the running belt’s speed, the C934  
Heart Rate Course monitors the user’s heart rate and automatically maintains it  
within a few beats per minute (bpm) of the selected target. Blinking lights on the  
SmartRate® bar graph appear to show the “zone” that the user is in.  
Note:For the C934 to detect a heart rate, the user must wear the POLAR® chest  
strap or hold onto both touch-sensitive grips on the handrails.The POLAR® chest  
strap is optional equipment that can be purchased from your dealer.  
To use the Heart Rate Course, have the user follow the steps found in Quick  
Steps to Working Out on page 37 and choose HRC at the COURSE prompt. For  
the Heart Rate Course to operate properly, a user’s AGE must be entered during  
the Setup prompts. Once the user addresses the remaining Setup prompts, the  
following occurs:  
•
•
•
The software verifies that it detects a heart rate signal.You need to press  
the SPEED ▲ key to begin working out.  
Note: If a user’s heart rate cannot be detected (or transmitted through the  
POLAR® chest strap or touch-sensitive grips), the letters “Hr” blink in the  
heart rate display. Once a heart rate is detected the number that corre-  
sponds to the user’s heart rate appears.  
The treadmill provides a three-minute warm-up period before entering the  
Heart Rate Course. During this time, the user may make changes to the  
incline by using the INCLINE ▲▼ keys. He or she can press the SPEED  
▼▲ keys to set the running belt’s speed.  
Note: If the user’s heart rate moves into his or her heart rate zone during the  
three-minute warm-up period, the Heart Rate Course begins concurrently.  
After the warm-up period, the treadmill automatically adjusts the incline to  
keep the user’s heart rate at the selected target. The SmartRate® display  
indicates which zone: cardiovascular or weight loss, that the user is in.  
Note: A user can change the running belt’s speed anytime during a work-  
out, but doing so affects the treadmill’s ability to maintain the target heart  
rate. It takes time for the treadmill to readjust the incline so that the user’s  
heart rate remains on target.  
CAUTION: A warning message appears if the user goes above his or her  
maximum recommended heart rate target zone. Heed the warning. Make  
sure that the user has permission from his or her personal physician  
before working out above the maximum recommended zone for his or her  
age and fitness level. See Diagram 22 on page 42 for the recommended  
target zones.  
•
When a user reaches the time limit, a cool-down period begins. The user  
can override the speed and incline by pressing the appropriate ▼ or ▲ keys.  
Note:The speed remains constant, if the user was at or below 0.5 mph (1.0 kph).

Maintenance  
The C934 is built to withstand the rigors of the health club environment.However, as  
club manager or owner, you are responsible for cleaning and maintaining the unit’s  
integrity.If you fail to maintain the treadmill as described below, it could affect or 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  
Perform a daily inspection of the treadmill.  
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. Obtain service should you notice any of the above.  
Important:If you determine that the treadmill is in need of service, move it away  
from the main workout area and place an large “Out of Service” sign on it.While  
it is awaiting service, remove the power cord so no one can use the treadmill.  
2. Check for worn, frayed, or missing safety lanyards.Replace missing or worn  
safety lanyards immediately. A safety lanyard with its security clip must be  
fastened to the treadmill’s red Stop button. Do not allow users on a treadmill  
without it.  
To order parts or to contact a Precor authorized service provider in your area,  
refer to Obtaining Service on page 7.  
CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT  
Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the treadmill’s hood and  
solid base. However, for efficient operation, the treadmill relies on low friction.To  
keep the friction low, the treadmill must be as clean as possible.  
It is recommended that the running bed and belt be cleaned daily. Use a damp,  
soft cloth to clean the staging platform, running bed and between the belt and  
running bed surface as far as you can easily reach.This removes any dust or dirt  
which might affect the smooth operation of the unit.  
CAUTION: Never pour water or spray liquids on the display console, hand-  
rails, or treadmill. Allow the treadmill to dry completely before using.  
Periodically, clean the treadmill’s frame, display console, handrails and running belt  
with a dampened (not dripping wet), clean cloth using a diluted solution of mild soap  
and water.To clean the grooves on the belt, use a soft nylon scrub brush.Vacuum the  
floor underneath the unit every week to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.  
The Precor Heart Rate equipment requires little maintenance beyond keeping it  
dust free. Dampen a sponge or soft cloth in mild soap and water to wipe the  
POLAR® chest strap. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.

ALIGNING THE RUNNING BELT  
The correct alignment of the running belt is critical to the smooth operation of the  
treadmill. The belt is properly aligned at the factory. However, during shipping  
and handling or by use on an uneven surface, the belt may move off center and  
require a few simple adjustments.  
Before aligning the running belt, check its operation by following the procedure in  
Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt on page 22. If you determine that  
the belt needs alignment, follow the instructions here.  
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  
finger or 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.  
Realigning the belt takes a few simple adjustments. If you are unsure about this  
procedure, call Precor Customer Support (see Obtaining Service on page 7.)  
Take the following steps to align the running belt on the treadmill.To ensure your  
safety, make all adjustments while the treadmill is OFF.  
1. Make sure the treadmill is OFF and the running belt has completely stopped.  
2. Locate the left belt adjustment bolt in the rear end cap of the treadmill. (To  
determine left and right, stand at the rear of the treadmill and face the display.)  
The direction you turn the bolt depends on how the belt is tracking. Make all  
belt adjustments on the left rear corner bolt using the hex key provided.  
• If the belt is off center to the LEFT, turn the adjusting bolt ¼ turn clock-  
wise, which moves the running belt to the right.  
• If the belt tracks off center to the RIGHT, turn the bolt ¼ turn counter-  
clockwise; this moves the belt to the left.  
Important: Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than ¼ turn at a time. Over-  
tightening the bolt can damage the treadmill.  
3. Turn ON the treadmill, press QUICKSTART, and then increase the running  
belt speed to 3 mph (5 kph) by pressing SPEED ▲.  
CAUTION: Stand to the side of the treadmill.The running belt begins  
moving automatically after you press QUICKSTART.  
4. Observe the running belt for a couple of minutes.The belt should be centered  
on the running bed. A few inches from either side of the side rail platform.  
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 key. Contact Precor Customer Support.  
5. If the belt needs additional alignment, repeat steps 1 through 4 of this  
procedure until the belt is properly aligned.  
6. Press the red Stop button.To return to the Precor banner, press RESET.

STORING THE POLAR® CHEST STRAP  
Store the chest strap transmitter in a place where dust and dirt cannot accumu-  
late 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 degrees Fahrenheit.  
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. Refer to Obtaining Service on page 7.  
LONG TERM STORAGE  
When the treadmill is not in use for any length of time, turn it OFF.Ensure that the  
power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet and is positioned so that it will not  
become damaged or interfere with other equipment or people.
