Do not set anything on the handrail, electronic console, or hood. Never
place liquids on any part of the treadmill.
Keep all electrical components, such as the motor, power cord, and
ON/OFF switch, away from water or other liquids to prevent shock.
Do not use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the
manufacturer—such attachments might cause injuries.
Do not attempt to service the M9.4 treadmill yourself. This treadmill does
not have any user-serviceable parts. See Getting Service at the end of this
manual for service information.
•
•
Turn OFF the treadmill and wait for the belt to come to a complete stop
before adjusting or working near the rear roller. Do not make any adjust-
ments to the running belt when someone is standing on the machine.
This treadmill is manufactured with six safe “fail-off” systems. If the tread-
mill encounters a problem, it will trigger a “fail-off” system, allowing the
running belt to come to a gradual stop. Continued use of the treadmill after
a fail-off system occurs is not recommended. Instead, have your treadmill
serviced as described in Getting Service later in this manual.
•
•
Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion.
Stop your workout immediately if you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms,
and consult your physician.
Precor treadmills are designed for the enjoyment of the serious runner as well
as the dedicated walker. By following the above precautions and using good
common sense, you will have many safe and pleasurable hours of healthful
exercise with your Precor M9.4 Electronic Treadmill Ergometer.

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:
CAUTION: Do not walk on the running belt during this procedure.
1. Locate the ON/OFF power switch at the front of the black hood and turn
ON the treadmill.
2. Stand next to the treadmill. At the WEIGHT display, accept the default
value of 150 by pressing the ENTER WEIGHT keypad.
3. Continue to stand next to the treadmill and increase the running belt speed
to 6 miles per hour using the arrow keypad located under the TIME,
MPH, MILES display.

a brief description of the electronic console
instructions for exercising on the treadmill
Understanding the Electronic Console
The electronic console lets you control your M9.4 treadmill session. As you
work out, electronic LED displays provide constant feedback about your
progress. Information about distance covered, elapsed time, speed, calories
burned, and degree of incline is available at any time. Since both the left and
center display windows provide three different features, a small indicator light
appears to the left of the callout and distinguishes which feature is being
displayed. Photo 6 shows a sample of the M9.4 electronic console. An explana-
tion of each feature on the console follows the photograph.
Photo 6
The left display window shows body weight, calories burned per minute, and
total calories burned during a workout. When you initially turn on the treadmill,
the display remains at the WEIGHT function until you enter your weight. The
display then alternates between CAL/MIN and TOTAL CAL. during the work-
out.
Left Display Window
WEIGHT: Displays the default weight of 150 pounds when the unit is turned on.
Use the and
arrow keypads to change the displayed weight (in 5-pound
increments). Press ENTER WEIGHT when the desired weight is displayed.
CAL/MIN: Shows calories burned per minute based on the body weight en-
tered. During a workout, the display alternates between the total calories you
are burning per minute and the total calories you have burned off.
TOTAL CAL: Shows the total calories burned based on the body weight you
enter. During a workout, the display alternates between the total calories you
have burned off and the total calories you are burning per minute.

session, up to a maximum of 59 minutes and 59 seconds. Use this display to
keep track of how long you have exercised in a given session.
MPH: Shows your workout speed, from 1.0 to 10 mph. Use this display to
measure your workout speed at any given moment.
MILES: This display shows the distance you have traveled up to a maximum of
99.99 miles. Use this display to track how far you have travelled during a
specific length of time or, once you have achieved the distance you want, use
TIME to determine how long it took you.
Right Display
Window
INCLINE: Displays the percent of incline, from 1 to 15%.
Each keypad on the M9.4 treadmill’s electronic console provides specific
functions. The following information explains the different uses of the keypads,

Running on the M9.4 Electronic Treadmill Ergometer
This section explains how to run or walk on the treadmill. Before using the M9.4
Electronic Treadmill Ergometer for an actual workout, we recommend that you
follow these instructions and go through a preliminary demonstration of the unit.
Be sure that you understand how to use the electronic console. We also
recommend that you become familiar with the M9.4 treadmill at a gentle pace
before attempting the higher speeds.
When using the treadmill, follow these general guidelines:
•
•
•
At the beginning of a workout, take several minutes to bring your heart rate
into your training zone, which is shown in Diagram 2 in Chapter 5.
After your workout, walk slowly for several minutes to cool down your body
and lower your pulse rate.
Gently stretch your lower body and back after a workout to help prevent
stiffness or soreness.
To run on the treadmill, follow these instructions:
1. Turn ON the treadmill using the ON/OFF switch located at the front of the
black hood.
2. Straddle the running belt with your feet firmly planted on the right and left
staging platforms. Stand close enough to the electronic console so you can
extend your arms and touch the keypads.
3. At the WEIGHT display, use the green and yellow arrows to specify your
weight. When the correct weight is displayed, press ENTER WEIGHT.
The number on the display moves in 5-pound increments up or down,
depending on the arrow pressed. You must specify this information so the
treadmill can provide feedback about calories burned during a workout.
4. Stand on the running belt while keeping one hand on the handrail and
prepare to start walking. With your other hand, press the green or yellow
arrows until you reach the desired speed.
5. When you feel comfortable with the motion of the treadmill, let go of the

YOUR AGE
How Hard Should I Exercise?
Studies show that to achieve the benefits of aerobic exercise, it is necessary to
work out hard enough raise your heart rate to a certain minimum level, called
the “training zone.” Your training zone depends on your age and level of
fitness.
Refer to Diagram 2 to determine your training zone. Keep in mind that this zone
is an approximation, to be used as a guideline—individual heart rates vary
according to several physiological factors. To determine your training zone, or
target heart rate, find your age and fitness level on the diagram, and then find
the line where they intersect. For example, if you are 35 years old, your training
heart rate at the intermediate fitness level is 157 beats per minute. Remember
this number—this is the pulse rate you should try to maintain as you work out.
To determine your heart rate, take your pulse at a place that you can reach
easily and comfortably while you exercise. Typical locations for measuring
heart rate are directly over the heart on the left side of the chest, on either side
of the neck, over the temple, or on the thumb side of either wrist. Wherever you
measure your pulse, make sure that you use your index and middle fingers—
not your thumb. Your thumb has a strong pulse which can affect your heart rate
reading.
Once you locate your pulse, look at a clock with a second hand and count the
beats for six seconds. Multiply that number by 10 to determine the total number
of beats per minute. For example, if you count 14 beats over six seconds, the
total number of beats per minute is 140. Compare the total number of beats
with your training zone as identified in Diagram 2. If necessary, increase or
decrease your activity level to bring your heart rate into your training zone. You
can increase your activity level by changing speed and incline. Remember—
your heart rate is the definitive measure of how hard you are working.
Regardless of your fitness level, avoid doing too much too soon. Using too fast
of a belt speed or too high of an incline are common errors. Give yourself time
to become familiar with your treadmill and improve your fitness level. Then you
can gradually increase your speed and incline to make your workouts more
challenging.

How Long Should I Exercise?
The length of each exercise session depends on your fitness level. Exercise
physiologists have determined that, to attain cardiovascular benefits from
exercise, you should maintain your heart rate in the training zone for at least 15
minutes. This is in addition to your warm-up time, and does not include cool-
down. You should always allow several minutes to bring your heart rate into the
training zone, by starting out slowly and gradually increasing the work level.
Similarly, use several minutes of light exercise after the workout to bring your
heart rate down to near resting level.
The higher your fitness level, the longer you should maintain your heart rate in
the training zone (between 20 and 30 minutes). Beginners should always start
slowly and gradually increase their sessions up to 20 minutes or more.
How Often Should I Exercise?
Research indicates that aerobic sessions of 20 minutes or more should be
done at least three to five times a week to obtain significant cardiovascular
benefits. Most experts agree that sensible eating habits and regular aerobic
exercise are the keys to weight control and fitness. A recent study, which
tracked several subjects over a period of years, conclusively shows that
exercise, not dieting, is the key factor to successful long-term weight loss.

Maintaining the M9.4 Electronic Treadmill
Ergometer
The M9.4 treadmill requires little maintenance to keep it running smoothly and
efficiently. Typical maintenance tasks include cleaning the treadmill and
adjusting the running belt. Instructions for both procedures are provided in this
section.
5
Cleaning the Treadmill
Your Precor treadmill relies on low friction for efficient operation. To keep the
friction low, the treadmill must be as clean as possible.
CAUTION: Turn OFF the treadmill and unplug the power cord before
cleaning.
Before a workout, use a damp, soft cloth to clean the staging platforms, running
bed, and under the belt as far as you can easily reach. This removes any dirt or
dust that might affect the smooth operation of the treadmill.
Vacuum underneath the treadmill every week to prevent the accumulation of
dust and dirt on the running belt.
Periodically clean the treadmill’s frame, electronic console, and running belt,
using mild soap and water. To clean the running belt, use a soft nylon scrub
brush. Do not pour water or spray liquids on the electronic console. Allow the
treadmill to dry completely before using.
Adjusting the Running Belt
Before adjusting the running belt, check its operation by following the
procedure in Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt earlier in this manual.
If you determine that the belt needs adjustment, follow the instructions here.
Re-aligning the belt takes a few simple adjustments. If you are unsure about
this procedure, call your authorized Precor dealer for service (see Getting
Service at the end of this manual for information).
CAUTION: Special care must be taken when adjusting 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 or any other object clear of the belt and rollers, especially in
front of the roller and behind the deck. The M9.4 treadmill is designed to
carry people who weigh up to 350 pounds at speeds from 0.5 to 12 miles
per hour. The treadmill will not stop immediately if any object becomes
caught in the belt or rollers.

Adjusting the
running belt
Belt adjustment
bolt
Take the following steps to adjust the running belt on the M9.4 treadmill (see
Photo 7 for clarification). To ensure proper safety while adjusting your treadmill,
all adjustments must be made while the treadmill is turned OFF.
1. Make sure that the treadmill is OFF and that the running belt is completely
stopped.
2. Locate the belt adjustment bolt at the rear of the treadmill (see Photo 7).
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 tracks off center to the left, turn the adjusting bolt
1/4 turn clockwise, which moves the running belt to the right.
If the belt tracks off center to the right, turn the adjusting bolt
1/4 turn counterclockwise; this moves the belt to the left.
Important: Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than 1/4 turn at a time.
Overtightening the bolt can damage the treadmill.
3. Turn ON the treadmill, then increase the speed of the running belt to 6
miles per hour. (You can follow Steps 1 through 3 of the procedure, Check-
ing the Alignment of the Running Belt, if you need instructions about how to
increase speed and check alignment.)
4. Observe the running belt for 30 seconds or more. The belt should track
centered on the running bed.
5. Press the STOP keypad to stop the running belt.
6. If the belt needs additional alignment, repeat Steps 1 through 5 of this
procedure until the belt is properly aligned.
