Setting a Cool-Down Time Limit
Setting the Speed Limit
You can limit how long a user cools down after exercising on
the unit by entering a time between 0 and 5 minutes.
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 through the OPTIONS key. The
range of speeds available are 0.5 to 12 mph (0.8 to 20 kph).
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.
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 Changing the Units of
Measure Display.
4. At the SET COOL DOWN TIME prompt, press OK. Use
the navigational arrow keys to display the available time
limits. The default setting is 5 minutes.

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.

always unplug the unit from its power
source before cleaning it or
performing any maintenance tasks.
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.
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.
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.
Important: If you determine that the treadmill needs
service, make sure 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.
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.
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.
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).
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 clean the chest strap, use a sponge or soft cloth
dampened in mild soap and water. Dry the surface
thoroughly with a clean towel.
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.

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.
1. Locate the right belt adjustment bolt in the rear end
cap of the treadmill. Refer to Diagram 13.
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. Refer to Adjusting the Running Belt.
Important: Failure to align the belt may cause the belt to
tear or fray, which is not covered by the Precor Limited
Warranty.

• 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 by repeating
the steps found in Checking the Alignment of the
Running Belt.
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.
Begin Your Workout with QUICKSTART
To begin exercising immediately without personalizing your exercise
session, take the following steps.
• Do not allow children or those unfamiliar with its
operation, on or near this equipment.
1. Turn ON the treadmill, using the I/O power switch located beneath
the front of the unit, near the power cord.
• 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.
2. Step on the treadmill. Face the display and straddle the running belt.
3. Attach the safety clip to your clothing.
4. Hold on to the handrail with one hand and press QUICKSTART with
the other. If needed, enter the password. Refer to your owner’s
manual.
• At the beginning of a workout, straddle
the belt by placing your feet firmly on
the right and left staging platforms.
A 3-second countdown appears, and then the running belt starts
moving. The Manual Program begins.
• Always face the display and use
the handrail for balance. Never
attempt to turn around on the
treadmill while the running belt
5. Step on to the running belt with the speed at 1 mph (1 kph), and
begin exercising.

• To increase or decrease the incline or speed, use the INCLINE or
SPEED arrow keys.
• To pause, hold onto a handrail with one hand while you press the
• If you feel pain, faintness, or
dizziness, stop exercising
immediately.
PAUSE/RESET key with the other.
Workout Tips
Use the Safety Clip
6. To adjust the time goal, use the TIME +/- key. When the blinking
time prompt appears, use the number keypad to adjust the time.
Press OK.
• Before and after a workout, gently stretch
your lower body and back to help prevent
stiffness or soreness.
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 QUICKSTART.
Note: When you reach your time goal, you automatically enter a
cool-down period.
• 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).
7. Complete the cool-down period and a workout summary appears.
Press the right selection key to review your cumulative distance and
average speed. The cumulative number of calories burned appears
in an upper display.
• To display your heart rate, wear a chest
strap or use both hands to grasp the touch-
sensitive handrail grips.
8. Remove the safety clip from your clothing and hold on to a handrail
as you step off the treadmill.
• Incorporate a cool-down period into your
workout to help lower your heart rate and
minimize muscle stiffness and soreness.
9. To prevent unauthorized use, turn the treadmill OFF.
Note: To personalize your exercise experience, refer to Workout
Options in the owner’s manual.

2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest.
The strap should feel snug, not restrictive
(Diagram B).
For the greatest benefits, maintain your heart rate in
either zone for 30 minutes or more at least three times
a week.
Choose a Program
•
Determine your level of fitness: beginner,
intermediate, or advanced.
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).
CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed
85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate or go
above your target zone (Diagram D).
•
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.

you reach your fitness goals.
Touch-Sensitive Handrail Grips

SmartRate® Features
Diagram D
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.
When you begin an exercise session, 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.
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.
Wear a Chest Strap
The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is
your maximum aerobic heart rate:
(220 minus your age) multiplied by a percent.
During a workout, the heart rate features appear on
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Obtaining Service
•
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.
You should not attempt to service the treadmill except for minor belt
adjustments and maintenance tasks 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
•
•
Open the box and assemble the components in the sequence
presented in this guide.
Insert all fasteners with your fingers.
Use your fingers to properly align and thread the fasteners. This helps
alleviate cross-threading. Do not fully wrench tighten fasteners until
instructed to do so.
Unpacking the Equipment
The treadmill is carefully tested and inspected before shipment. The unit is
shipped in two boxes. Ask for help from two or more people to unpack and
assemble the treadmill.
Important: When wrench tightening, 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. Contact Customer Support. Refer to Obtaining Service.

String with washer.
Tie a string to a washer (D) and feed the washer through the
lower side bracket hole in the right upright support. As the
washer falls to the floor, leave the upper end of the string
hanging out the side bracket hole. Remove the washer from the
other end of the string.
Remove any tape or wire ties that secure the display cable.
Unwrap the cable and remove the kinks.
Ask your assistant to hold the display console above the
upright supports while you feed the cable through the right
upright support. Make sure the cable connector rests on the
floor at the base of the upright support.
Lower the display console, align, and secure it to the upright
supports using six buttonhead screws (C) and six washers (D).
Finger tighten.
Important: Do not wrench tighten the screws until the unit
has been fully assembled. Make sure the fasteners do not
pinch the cable. Cables damaged by improper installation will
not be covered by the Precor Limited Warranty.
Tie the string to the cable connector. Pull the cable through the
side bracket hole in the base frame. Remove the string and
then, connect the cable to its receptacle.
Note: An audible click is heard when the cable is properly
attached. Place excess cable inside the upright support.

Attach the power cord clips (F).
Level the unit. Before using on the unit, make sure it is level.
Important: If the load is not equally compensated, you will feel
excessive vibration or movement at the display console. Adjust one
rear foot at a time. Do not raise the unit beyond ¾-inch (2 cm).
Important: Use the power cord clips to secure the power cord to the
base frame beneath the hood. This reduces the possibility that the power
cord will get pinched or damaged by the incline lift movement. If the
power cord runs along the length of the treadmill, use the power cord
clips to secure it to the side rail.

1. Place a bubble level on the running belt to see if the treadmill is
level. If the treadmill needs leveling, continue to step 2.
2. Insert the serrated portion of the
clip into the hole located under
the front of the unit on either side
of the power switch.
2. Situate yourself next to the adjustable rear feet.
3. Ask a capable assistant to lift the rear portion of the treadmill (using
proper lifting techniques).
4. Level the treadmill by adjusting the rear feet as needed.
Important: If the unit is placed on a slightly uneven surface,
rotating the rear feet can help, but will not compensate for
extremely uneven surfaces.
3. Place the clips, as needed, along
the length of the power cord
while you redirect it to the power
outlet. The holes, found in the
frame beneath the side rail, are
spaced 12 inches (31 cm) along
the length of the side rail.

treadmill is distributed evenly.
Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet.

Important: The treadmill requires a dedicated, grounded circuit. A
20-amp circuit is recommended. Refer to Grounding Instructions in the
owner’s manual.

Checking the Alignment and Adjusting 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, contact Precor Customer Support. Refer to Obtaining Service.
To check the alignment:
To adjust the running belt:
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.
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.
1. Locate the right belt adjustment bolt in the rear end cap of the treadmill.
1. Turn the unit On.
Adjustment bolt location
2. Stand beside the treadmill and press QUICKSTART.
3. 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. Press the SPEED ▲ key until the display shows a speed of
3 mph (5 kph).
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 hex key provided.
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.
• If the belt is off center to the LEFT, turn the adjusting bolt ¼ turn
counterclockwise, which moves the running belt to the right.
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 must make adjustments. Refer to the next section.
• If the belt is off center to the RIGHT, turn the bolt ¼ turn clockwise,
which moves the belt to the left.
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.
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.
6. To stop the running belt, press the red STOP button.
7. Turn the treadmill Off.
