Heart Rate Features
Important Use and Safety Information
Read the following before using the heart rate or SmartRate
features.
SmartRate
•
•
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 Diagram 6.
Heart rate and SmartRate® features are available when
you wear the chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive grips
(9.33 only). When a heartbeat is detected, the HEART RATE
display shows your heart rate and, if your age has been
entered, the SmartRate LED pulses and indicates your target
zone.
Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
•
The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is:
(220 minus your age) multiplied by a percent.
•
•
After you put on the chest strap, face the display console
for a few seconds. This allows the receiver in the console
to recognize the signal from the chest strap.
For example:
Low range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 55%
If Hr appears on the display, the treadmill 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.
High range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 85%
Refer to Table 1 in Using SmartRate.
•
•
If you prefer to use the touch-sensitive grips on the 9.33,
grasp both touch-sensitive grips and wait five to ten
seconds. Make sure both hands are moist.

2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest. The
strap should feel snug, not restrictive. Refer to
Diagram 8.
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.
1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water
Refer to Diagram 7.
.
Note: Do not use deionized water. It does not have the
proper minerals and salts to conduct electrical impulses.
Diagram 8: 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 Diagram 9.
Diagram 7: Moisten chest strap
Diagram 9: Fasten chest strap
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.

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 touch-sensitive heart rate feature on the treadmill. A
chest strap may provide better results.
Using the Touch-Sensitive Grips
While exercising, you must grasp both touch-sensitive grips
for a minimum of five to ten seconds to transmit your heart
rate to the display. Refer to Diagram 10.
Important: While exercising, do not grasp the touch-
sensitive grips and wear the chest strap at the same time.
The touch-sensitive grips override the signals from the chest
strap transmitter. If used together, inconsistent readings may
occur.
Using SmartRate
Touch-sensitive
grips (9.33 only)
The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain your
heart rate in the target zone best suited to your specific
needs. All 7 green 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.
Diagram 10: Touch-sensitive grips on the 9.33
Important: To use the SmartRate feature, you must choose
a program and enter your age during the setup phase of
your exercise session.
Table 1 shows the percents used in calculating the heart rate
target zones. While your heart rate remains within these
zones, the corresponding lights blink and provide a visual cue.

Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate
Heart Rate Analysis
Every time you complete a program using the chest strap or
9.33 touch-sensitive grips, the treadmill provides a heart rate
analysis after the workout summary.
A heart rate receiver is an integral part of the display so you
can monitor your heart rate while exercising. You must wear a
chest strap if you are using the 9.31 treadmill. If you own a
9.33 treadmill, you have the option of wearing a chest strap
or grasping both touch-sensitive grips. Your heart rate (beats
per minute) appears on the display.
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.
suggestions for workouts with varying levels of intensity. It
provides many workout details that include the appropriate
target heart rate.
The heart rate analysis is based on how often your heart rate
the average heart rate will be more accurate than if you
occasionally grasp the touch-sensitive grips on the 9.33
treadmill.
The 9.31 treadmill includes one program that lets you
exercise based on a specified target heart rate. The 9.33
treadmill contains two: Basic HR and Weight Loss HR. As
you exercise, the heart rate programs monitor your heart rate
and automatically maintain it within a target heart rate zone.

Custom Program Tips
Custom Programs
•
•
The custom programs are time-based.
VARIETY
The duration of the custom program and the number of
speed and incline settings is limited to available memory
in the treadmill. The program does 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 are available.
Two Custom Programs are available on the 9.33 treadmill if
you select a USER key, and then press the VARIETY key. 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.
•
•
You need to incorporate a cooling down period into your
exercise session. The cool-down period is not
automatically appended to the end of the custom
programs.
The subsequent columns repeat the last programmed speed
or incline and are reflected in the program profile. Adjust the
speed or incline using the INCLINE and SPEED arrow keys.
When you complete the program, the settings are
automatically recalled using the same USER key and
program number.
The program profile reflects changes to incline.
Important: The starting speed may be greater than 1 mph
(1 kph). Do not use the custom programs if you are
unfamiliar with the settings.

incline settings stored in a custom program.
Heart Rate Programs
HEART
RATE
1. At the banner, select a USER key, and then press OK.
2. Display the custom program that you wish to clear.
The heart rate programs enhance your overall cardiovascular
fitness levels to help you achieve your weight loss and fitness
goals. Two programs are available on the 9.33 and one heart
rate program is available on the 9.31 treadmill. Both monitor
your heart rate and adjust the incline to keep you within a
specific heart rate target zone while you exercise.
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 a message appears on the display indicating that the
settings have been cleared, you can release the key.
Speed and incline information are reset to zero.
Important: Consult your physician to determine the
appropriate target heart rate for your age and fitness level.
Do not exercise over the recommended range of 85% of
your maximum aerobic heart rate.
During the 14-second delay and before CLEARING appears
on the display, you can release the red STOP button and no
change will occur to the custom program settings.

Table 3. Heart Rate Programs
Heart Rate Program Tips
Read through the following tips before selecting a program.
These tips provide general information regarding how the
programs function. For more information and exercise
suggestions, refer to the Precor web site at
Program Description
Basic HR Start with the Basic HR Program if this is the first
time you have used a heart rate program or you are
returning to an exercise fitness routine. The Basic HR
Program adjusts the incline to maintain your heart
rate within two beats per minute of the target heart
rate while you exercise. If your physician recommends
a different target heart rate than the one that appears
on the display, you can adjust your target heart rate
by using the navigational arrow keys once you
complete the warm-up period.
•
To use the heart rate programs, you must enter your age
and wear a chest strap or grasp the touch-sensitive grips
on the 9.33 so your heart rate can be monitored
throughout the session.
•
•
Each program provides a 3-minute warm-up period.
During this time you may change the incline or speed.
Weight
Loss HR
Improve fat-burning results and increase endurance
every time you exercise. This program helps you
achieve weight loss and increase your aerobic
capacity. The program maintains your heart rate
between the weight loss and cardiovascular zones:
55% - 75% of your maximum aerobic heart rate.
Refer to Heart Rate Features.
When your target heart rate or heart rate zone is achieved
or the 3-minute period elapses, the warm-up period ends
and the program begins.
•
•
To change to a different program, select a PROGRAMS
key and press OK.
Cool down periods are incorporated into each program.
During the program, you cannot adjust your target
heart rate. The program monitors your heart rate and
automatically adjusts the incline or speed throughout
five stages: warm-up, weight loss, cardiovascular,
weight loss, and cool down. Forty percent of the
workout time is spent in each weight loss zone while
the other 20 percent is maintained in the
cardiovascular zone.

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 (M).
You can set a maximum speed for the treadmill in miles per
hour. This limits how fast the running belt moves and,
consequently, the number of speed settings that are
available to the user. The range of speeds available are 0.5 to
12 mph.
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.
Note: The treadmill automatically converts the speed setting
to kilometers per hour if you change the units of measure to
metric. To change the units of measure, return to the
SELECT UNITS prompt. Refer to Selecting a U.S. Standard
or Metric Display.

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.

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.

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 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. Make sure the magnetic
safety key is in position next to the red STOP button.
• At the beginning of a workout, straddle
the belt by placing your feet firmly on
the right and left staging platforms.
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.
9.31
9.33
• Always face the display and use
the handrail for balance. Never
attempt to turn around on the
treadmill while the running belt
is moving.
A 3-second countdown appears, and then the running belt starts
moving. The Manual Program begins.
5. Step on to the running belt with the speed at 1 mph (1 kph), and
begin exercising.
• If you feel pain, faintness, or
dizziness, stop exercising
immediately.
• 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
Workout Tips
PAUSE/RESET key with the other.
Use the Safety Clip
• Before and after a workout, gently stretch
your lower body and back to help prevent
stiffness or soreness.
6. To change workout time or enter your weight or age, press
MANUAL and answer the prompts that appear on the display.
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
magnetic safety key to the
console and attach the clip to
your clothing. Enter the
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, which
presents your exercise session statistics, appears. To review your
cumulative distance and average speed, press the right selection
key. 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.

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.

Monitor Your Heart Rate
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.
SmartRate® Features
Diagram D
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
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.
The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is
your maximum aerobic heart rate:
(220 minus your age) multiplied by a percent.
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 as described in the owner’s manual. Should
you need more information regarding customer support numbers or a list of
Precor authorized service centers, visit the Precor website at
•
•
•
Open the box and assemble the components in the sequence
presented in this guide.
Obtain assistance.
Ask another capable adult for assistance during the assembly process.
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. If any items are missing, contact your dealer.
Use your fingers or the appropriate tools to insert fasteners.
Proper alignment helps alleviate crossthreading. Do not fully wrench
tighten fasteners until instructed to do so.
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 unit will occur. Contact
Required Tools
•
If you plan to move the unit, obtain help and use proper lifting
techniques.
Grasp the one-piece plastic end cap to lift the treadmill and roll it on its
front wheels. Do not grasp any other plastic part while lifting or moving
the unit. The other plastic pasts are not reinforced and they may break.

Position the display console so the half-round cutout rests on the
display support bar. Place any excess cables inside the display
console. Tip the display console up so its base aligns with the
mounting bracket on the center handrail.
CAUTION: Have your assistant hold the display console until it

Rotate the cover up and apply pressure so the top tab snaps into
place.
Note: If you need to remove the cover, apply pressure to the thumb
tab and rotate the cover out.

To check the alignment:
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. Locate the right belt adjustment bolt in the rear end cap of the treadmill.
1. The treadmill has adjustable rear feet. Make sure that the running surface is
level before aligning or adjusting the running belt. Refer to step 18.

2. Connect the power plug to an appropriate dedicated circuit and turn the
unit On.
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
¼-inch hex key.
3. Stand beside the treadmill and press QUICKSTART.
4. 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.
• 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. Press the SPEED up arrow key until the display shows a speed of 3 mph
(5 kph).
• If the belt is off center to the RIGHT, turn the bolt ¼ turn clockwise, which
moves the belt to the left.
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.
Important: Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than ¼ turn at a time.
Overtightening the bolt can damage the treadmill.
6. 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.
2. Recheck the alignment of the running belt.
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.
7. To stop the running belt, press the red STOP button.
8. Turn the treadmill Off.
