Installation Requirements
Follow these installation requirements when assembling the unit:
Obtain assistance.
Ask another capable adult for assistance during the assembly process.
•
•
•
Assemble the unit near the location where you plan to use it
because it is heavy.
Use your fingers or the appropriate tools to insert fasteners.
Proper alignment helps alleviate cross-threading. Do not fully wrench
tighten fasteners until instructed to do so.
Provide ample space around the unit.
Open space around the unit allows for easier access.
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.
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.
Important: Assemble the unit near the location where you plan to use it
and provide ample space around the unit. Consult the Product Owner’s
Manual for proper placement of your equipment.

Heart Rate Features
Important Use and Safety Information
Read the following before using the heart rate or SmartRate
features.
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 the
following figure.
Heart rate and SmartRate® features are available when you wear
the chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive grips. When a
heartbeat is detected, the HEART RATE display shows your heart
rate and, if your age has been entered, the SmartRate LED blinks
and indicates your target zone.
Always face forward on the equipment and use the stationary
handrail or handlebars for balance.
On self-powered equipment, maintain a comfortable rate of
motion above the minimum requirements. Check with the facility
manager to determine the requirements to maintain power.
User's Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features
11
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 Hr blinks in the HEART RATE display, it is detecting a signal,
but has not yet determined your heart rate. Make sure the chest
strap is positioned properly around your chest and against your
skin.
If you prefer to use the touch-sensitive grips, grasp both and
wait five to ten seconds. Make sure both hands are moist (not
dry).
When a signal is detected, a number flashes in the
HEART RATE display and indicates your heart rate.
Figure 4: Heart rate target zones
The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is:
(220 minus your age) multiplied by a percent.
For example:

2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest. The strap
should feel snug, not restrictive. Refer to the following figure.
Wearing 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
chest strap needs to be in direct contact with your skin.
Signals used by the Chest Strap Transmitter

of your Chest Strap Transmitter and
implanted device before using a Chest Strap
Transmitter.
Figure 6: Adjust chest strap
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.
Refer to the following figure.
Note: To receive an accurate reading, the strap needs to be in
direct contact with the skin on the lower sternum (just below the
bust line for women).
1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water. Refer to
the following figure.

Using SmartRate
The SmartRate indicator lights do not blink when:
The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain your heart
rate in the target zone best suited to your specific needs. When a
heart rate signal is detected, a single LED blinks and indicates the
zone that your heart rate is in.
You do not wear or improperly position the chest strap. Or, you
fail to grasp both touch-sensitive grips for five to ten seconds.
You do not enter your age during an exercise session.
For example, pressing QUICKSTART at the Precor banner
causes the Manual Program to begin. Your age has not been
entered and is considered a null value. Your heart rate will
appear in the HEART RATE display when you hold onto the
touch-sensitive grips or wear a chest strap, but none of the
SmartRate LEDs blink because the appropriate calculations
have not been made.
Important: To use the SmartRate feature, you must enter your age
The following table shows the percents used in calculating the
heart rate target zones. While your heart rate remains within these
zones, the corresponding light blinks and provides a visual cue.
CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your
maximum aerobic heart rate or go above PEAK. If it does,
immediately reduce the intensity of your workout to return your
heart rate to your physician-recommended target zone.
Note: You can remedy this situation by choosing a program
using one of the PROGRAMS keys and entering your time,
weight, and age.

touch-sensitive grips, the display provides a heart rate analysis
The Precor web site (www.precor.com) has several suggestions for
workouts with varying levels of intensity. It provides many workout
details that include the appropriate target heart rate.
Your average heart rate appears followed by the maximum heart
rate achieved during your workout. A third display appears, if you
entered your age, and indicates the amount of time your heart rate
remained between the target zones shown.
The equipment includes one or more heart rate programs that let
you exercise based on a specified target heart rate. As you
exercise, the programs monitor your heart rate and automatically
maintain it within a few beats per minute of your selected target. To
use these programs, press the PROGRAMS – HEART RATE key.
The heart rate analysis is based on how often your heart rate signal
is received while exercising. If you use the chest strap, the average
heart rate will be more accurate than if you occasionally grasp the
touch-sensitive grips.

Note: To conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart, both
touch-sensitive 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
touch-sensitive grips. A chest strap may provide better results.

session, the display converts to hours and minutes.
STRIDES/MIN—displays the number of strides you
complete in a minute up to a maximum value of 510
strides per minute. A stride is an exaggerated walking
movement. If you start in a position with one foot pedal
forward, a stride is completed when you move the rear
foot pedal all the way forward while the other foot pedal
moves to the rear. Two strides create one complete
revolution of the flywheel. So, the value that appears on
the display is always an even number between 56 and
510. The average and most effective pace is between
100 and 150 strides per minute.
Note: The fitness facility can place limits on workout time.
TIME REMAINING—shows the amount of time remaining

time, you may change the resistance or CrossRamp settings.
Note: When your target heart rate is achieved or the 3-minute
period elapses, the warm-up period ends and the program
begins.
The program automatically adjusts the resistance to keep your
heart rate at the selected target. After the warm-up period,
pressing the RESISTANCE keys no longer affects the
resistance levels. Check the SmartRate display to see if you are
maintaining your preferred zone. Check the HEART RATE
display to determine your actual heart rate. For information
about understanding your target heart rate, refer to Heart Rate
Important: Consult your physician to determine the appropriate
target heart rate for your age and fitness level. If your physician
recommends a different target heart rate than the one that appears
on the display, use the navigational arrow keys to change the
target heart rate once you finish the warm-up period. Do not
exercise over the recommended range.
User's Reference Manual: Programs
35
You can change the target heart rate, but doing so affects how
well your target heart rate remains in the preferred zone. It takes
time to readjust the resistance so that your heart rate remains
on target.
Weight Loss Program
The Weight Loss Program, available by pressing the WEIGHT
LOSS key, provides a program targeted at lowering body fat while
improving muscle tone and conditioning.
If you wish to quit the Basic HRC Program, you can make a
mid-session transfer to another program, but you cannot return
or transfer mid-session to the Basic HRC Program.
The workout time is fixed at 28 minutes and consists of seven
4-minute intervals. You are not prompted for a workout time.
A cool down period is automatically added to the end of the
program.
If you are having difficulty with the heart rate features, talk to your
fitness facility manager.
Use the RESISTANCE keys to change the resistance for the rest
or work intervals. When you make changes, the program repeats
the settings for the remaining intervals. You can use the
CROSSRAMP keys to change the ramp incline.
The display lets you know when the resistance levels are about to
change.
Note: You cannot transfer mid-session to the Weight Loss
Program.
User's Reference Manual: Programs
36
For the ideal weight loss range, your heart rate should remain
between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. If you
wear a chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive grips, you can use
SmartRate as a visual cue.
Cross Training Program
The Cross Training Program, available by pressing the
PERFORMANCE key, has preprogrammed CrossRamp levels. The
programs consist of an alternating profile that focuses on working
the thigh and calf muscle groups.
Set a comfortable stride rate and then adjust the settings.
Maintain a level of exertion so that the SmartRate LEDs in the
FATBURN target zone blink in the display during the rest
intervals.
You can change the CrossRamp and resistance levels during your
workout. Your changes are applied to the levels for the remainder
of the workout, and the columns in the profile show the changed
CrossRamp levels.
During the work intervals, increase your level of exertion so that
the LEDs in the CARDIO target zone blink.

Maintenance
It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described
below. Failure to maintain the equipment as described in this
section could void the Precor Limited Warranty.
Daily Cleaning
Precor recommends the equipment be cleaned before and after
each exercise session. Use mild soap and water to dampen a
clean, soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove
dust and dirt.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always
DANGER
unplug the equipment from its power source (an
optional power adapter in the case of
self-powered equipment) before cleaning it or
performing any maintenance tasks.
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
equipment. Allow the equipment to dry completely before using.
Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the equipment to prevent
the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth
operation of the equipment. Use a soft nylon scrub brush to clean
the running belt on treadmills or the grooves on equipment with
foot pedals.
Daily Inspection
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.
CAUTION: On treadmills, as you clean the hood or side rails, be
aware of the handrail extensions so you do not inadvertently hit
your head or injure yourself.
On treadmills, check for worn, frayed or missing safety lanyards.
Replace missing or worn safety lanyards immediately. Make sure
users attach the safety clip to their clothing before exercising on
the treadmill.
Important: If you determine that the equipment needs service,
disconnect any power connections and move the equipment away
from the exercising area. Place an OUT OF SERVICE sign on it
and make sure all patrons and users know that they must not use
the equipment.

EFX: Cleaning the Ramp
Storing the Chest Strap
Whenever the ramp becomes soiled, clean the exposed surfaces
of the ramp and roller wheels by taking the following steps.
If you purchased the optional heart rate chest strap, store it in a
place where it remains free of dust and dirt (for example, 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).
Note: If your equipment has a ramp cover, remove it before
performing the following steps. Refer to the EFX Assembly Guide.
1. Moisten a clean, soft cloth in a mild solution of soap and water.
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.
2. Position one foot pedal at the top of the ramp (the other will
automatically be positioned at the bottom).
Signals used by the Chest Strap Transmitter
WARNING
(or heart rate strap) may interfere with
pacemakers or other implanted devices.
Consult your physician and the manufacturers
of your Chest Strap Transmitter and
implanted device before using a Chest Strap
Transmitter.
3. Clean the exposed portions of the ramp.
4. Gently lift the roller wheels. Rotate each wheel while wiping it
with the clean, soft cloth.
5. Switch the foot pedal position and finish cleaning the ramp.
Note: To receive an accurate reading, the strap needs to be in
direct contact with the skin on the lower sternum (just below the
bust line for women).

Treadmill: 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
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 equipment 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
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.
Important: Failure to align the belt may cause the belt to tear
or fray, which is not covered by the Precor Limited Warranty.
7. To stop the running belt, press the red STOP button.
8. Turn the treadmill Off.
1. Make sure that the running surface is level. To operate correctly,
the treadmill needs to be as level as possible. If needed, the
rear feet can be adjusted to level the treadmill (refer to the
Assembly Guide).
2. Turn the equipment On.
3. Stand beside the treadmill and press QUICKSTART.
4. If needed, enter the safety code by pressing the number keys in
sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4.
The running belt starts automatically after a 3-second
countdown appears on the display.

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.
Treadmill: Adjusting the Running Belt
If you are unsure about adjusting the running belt, call Precor
If the belt is off center to the LEFT, turn the adjusting bolt ¼
turn counterclockwise, which moves the running belt to the
right.
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 equipment.
If the belt tracks off center to the RIGHT, turn the bolt ¼ turn
clockwise; this moves the belt to the left.
1. Locate the right belt adjustment bolt in the rear end cap of the
treadmill as shown in the following figure.
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

Moving the Equipment
Long-Term Storage
It is important, if you plan to move the equipment, that you obtain
adult help and use proper lifting techniques. The equipment is very
heavy. Take advantage of the roller wheels on the equipment when
moving it to a new location.
When the equipment is not in use for any length of time, make sure
it is turned Off (treadmill only) and the power cord or optional
power adapter (self-powered equipment) is unplugged from its
power source and is positioned so that it will not become damaged
or interfere with people or other equipment.
Important: The plastic end cap, on the treadmill, is specifically
designed for lifting. To avoid injury to yourself or damage to the
equipment, ask for help in placing the treadmill where you plan to
use it. Place a hand under each end of the end cap and, using
proper lifting techniques, lift the rear of the treadmill so that it rolls
on its front wheels.
