Heart rate and SmartRate features are available when you  
wear the chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive handrail  
grips. When a heartbeat is detected, the Heart Rate display  
shows your heart rate and the SmartRate LED pulses and  
indicates your target zone.  
Guidelines  
Read the following before using the heart rate feature.

• 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 you prefer to use the hand-held heart rate feature,  
grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips and wait five to  
ten seconds. Your heart rate appears in the Heart Rate  
display.  
• If three dashes (— — —) appear on the display, the treadmill  
cannot detect a heart rate. Make sure the chest strap is  
positioned properly around your chest and against your  
skin. If you are using the touch-sensitive handrail grips,  
make sure your hands are moist (not dry) and you use  
both hands.  
Diagram 6: Touch-sensitive handrail grips  
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 handrail grips on the treadmill. A chest  
strap may provide better results.  
• Always face forward on the treadmill and use the handrail  
for balance.  
Important: While exercising, do not wear a chest strap and  
grasp the touch-sensitive handrail grips at the same time.  
Although the chest strap transmitter overrides signals from  
the touch-sensitive handrail grips, using both features may  
cause erratic heart rate readings.  
Using the Heart Rate  
Touch-Sensitive Grips  
While exercising, you must grasp both touch-sensitive  
handrail grips for a minimum of five to ten seconds to  
transmit your heart rate to the display. Refer to Diagram 6.

The SmartRate indicator lights do not appear when:  
• You press QUICKSTARTTM at the banner  
• You bypass the AGE prompt  
Using SmartRate  
The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain your  
heart rate in the target zone best suited to your specific  
needs. All 15 LEDs may light during a workout. When you  
wear the chest strap, a single LED blinks and indicates the  
zone that your heart rate is in, either weight loss or  
cardiovascular.  
• You do not wear or improperly position the chest strap  
• You fail to grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips for five  
to ten seconds  
Note: Review the information on the QUICKSTART card that  
accompanies your literature packet. It explains how to adjust  
the chest strap.  
The 15 LEDs in the SmartRate display are color-coded.  
A pulsating red LED indicates you are outside the  
recommended heart rate target zone. Yellow LEDs indicate  
when you are exercising within the weight loss zone. Green  
LEDs indicate when you are exercising within the  
cardiovascular zone.  
CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of  
your maximum aerobic heart rate. If it does, immediately  
reduce your speed or, if possible, adjust the incline to  
return your heart rate to your physician-recommended  
target zone.  
Refer to Table 1 to see the relationship between the  
pulsating LED and your target heart rate.

Programs  
Choosing a Program  
Choosing a program depends on your goals. If you are a  
beginner or returning to regular exercise, you can start a  
cardio-conditioning program to slowly return your body to a  
comfortable level of exercise. If you have been exercising and  
feel that you have an intermediate or advanced fitness level,  
you probably have established goals. The Precor web site  
(www.precor.com) can give you many ideas about fitness  
workouts and advice from the experts.  
Custom 1  
Custom 2  
Several workout choices on the treadmill are pre-  
programmed with recommendations for incline levels, pace,  
and alternating rest or work intervals. You always have the  
option to override the suggested levels with the exception of  
the Heart Rate Control (HRC) program.  
Diagram 8: M9.33 program label  
If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce your pace  
or change the incline using the arrow keys to override each  
upcoming column in the program profile. If you use the arrow  
keys, the program profile changes accordingly. When you  
complete a program that contains a time limit, an automatic  
5-minute cool-down period begins.

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 INCLINE arrow  
keys to change the target heart rate once you finish the  
warm-up period. Do not work out over the recommended  
range.  
Heart Rate Control (HRC) Program  
HRC  
Warm-up Period  
The treadmill provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During  
this time, you may change the speed and incline.  
Note: If your heart rate moves into the target heart rate zone  
during the 3-minute warm-up period, the warm-up period  
ends and the Heart Rate Control program begins.  
The Heart Rate Control program lets you set a target for your  
heart rate. The program adjusts the incline to maintain your  
heart rate within two beats per minute of the target heart rate  
while you work out. To use this program, you must wear the  
chest strap so the treadmill can monitor your heart rate  
throughout the session.  
During your workout, the number that represents your heart  
rate appears in the Heart Rate display.  
For information about understanding your target heart rate,  
refer to Using SmartRate.

Custom (CST1 or CST2) Programs  
• The treadmill automatically adjusts the incline to keep  
your heart rate at the selected target. Pressing the  
INCLINE arrow keys no longer affects the lift motor and  
incline, but does change the target heart rate. Check the  
SmartRate display to see if you are maintaining your  
preferred zone (weight loss or cardiovascular). Check the  
Heart Rate display to determine your actual heart rate.  
CST1  
• You can change the target heart rate, speed, or incline, but  
doing so affects the unit’s ability to maintain your target  
heart rate in the preferred zone. It takes time for the  
treadmill to readjust the incline so that your heart rate  
remains on target.  
Two custom programs are available with each user ID. As  
you exercise, you customize the program by determining the  
speed and incline settings for each 1-minute column along  
the length of the profile. As each column elapses, the speed  
and incline for that column is stored in memory.  
Note: If you are having difficulty with the heart rate  
features, refer to Troubleshooting Heart Rate.  
The subsequent columns repeat the last programmed speed  
and incline and are reflected in the program profile. Change  
the speed or incline using the arrow keys. When you  
complete the program, the settings are automatically  
recalled using the same user ID and program number.

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.  
2. Check for worn, frayed or missing security lanyards.  
Replace missing or worn safety lanyards immediately.  
Do not exercise on the treadmill without attaching the  
security clip to your clothing.  
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,  
DANGER  
To order parts or to contact a Precor authorized service  
provider in your area, refer to Obtaining Service.  
always unplug the unit from its  
power source before cleaning it or  
performing any maintenance tasks.  
Cleaning the Equipment  
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.  
Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the  
hood and base of the treadmill. However, for efficient  
operation, the treadmill relies on low friction. To keep the  
friction low, the unit’s running belt, staging platforms, and  
internal mechanisms must be as clean as possible.  
Precor recommends the treadmill be cleaned before and  
after each workout. Use mild soap and water to dampen a  
soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove  
any dust or dirt.  
Important: If you determine that the treadmill needs  
service, ensure 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  
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.

Periodically, clean the running belt using a soft nylon scrub  
brush. Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the unit to  
prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect  
the smooth operation of the unit.  
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.  
Storing the Chest Strap  
Store the chest strap where dust and dirt cannot accumulate  
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° F  
(0° C).  
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.  
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. Turn the unit ON.  
3. Stand beside the treadmill and press QUICKSTART.  
4. If needed, enter the password by pressing the following  
Checking the Alignment of the  
Running Belt

ensures smooth operation. Realigning the belt takes a few  
simple adjustments. If you are unsure about this procedure,

Adjusting the Running Belt  
If you are unsure about adjusting the running belt, call Precor

Customer Support (refer to Obtaining Service).  
CAUTION: To ensure your safety, use the I/O power  
switch to turn OFF the treadmill before making any  
adjustments. Do not adjust the running belt when  
someone is standing on the unit.  
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.  
1. Locate the right belt adjustment bolt in the rear end cap of  
the treadmill. Refer to Diagram 11.  
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.

• If the belt is off center to the LEFT, turn the adjusting  
bolt ¼ turn counterclockwise, which moves the running  
belt to the right.  
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 its  
power source and is positioned so that it will not become  
damaged or interfere with people or other equipment.  
• 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.  
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. For information about product operation or  
service, call 1-800-347-4404.

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.  
2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest.  
The strap should feel snug, not restrictive  
(Diagram B).  
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.

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).

cues that help you adjust your fitness routine to reach  
your goals. Use these features to keep your heart rate  
within the target zones for weight loss or cardio-  
conditioning.  
Diagram D  
During a workout, the heart rate features appear on  
the display when you wear a chest strap. To receive  
an accurate reading, the strap needs to be in direct  
contact with your skin. Be sure to wear the chest  
strap underneath your clothing.  
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.  
When you begin a workout, 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: weight  
loss or cardiovascular. 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.  
Note: The Precor heart rate receiver must be  
properly installed in the display console before a  
heartbeat can be detected. Check with your dealer  
to make sure it is installed in your product.

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, call Precor  
Customer Support at 1-800-347-4404.  
To adjust the running belt:  
CAUTION: To ensure your safety, turn OFF (O) the treadmill  
before making any adjustments.  
1. Locate the right 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.) Make all belt adjustments on the  
right rear corner bolt using the ¼-inch hex key.  
To check the alignment:  
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.  
• If the belt is off center to the LEFT,  
turn the adjusting bolt ¼ turn  
counterclockwise, which moves the  
running belt to the right.  
Important: Do not raise or lower the unit beyond 2 centimeters  
(¾ inch). Check the level of the unit after each adjustment.  
2. Turn the unit ON.  
• If the belt tracks off center to the  
RIGHT, turn the bolt ¼ turn  
clockwise; this moves the belt to  
the left.  
3. Stand beside the treadmill and press QUICKSTART.  
4. If you are prompted for a password, press  
INCLINE ▼, SPEED ▼, SPEED ▲. The running belt starts  
automatically after the 3-second countdown appears on the  
display.  
Important: Do not turn the adjusting  
bolt more than ¼ turn at a time. Overtightening the bolt can  
damage the treadmill.  
5. Press the SPEED s key until the display shows a speed of 3 mph  
(5 kph).  
2. Recheck the alignment of the running belt.  
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.  
Important: If the belt needs alignment, make the adjustments  
immediately after turning the treadmill OFF. Failure to do so 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.
