INSPECTION

CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT

Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the casing. However, for efficient operation, the C846 relies on low friction. To keep the friction low, the C846 pedals and internal mechanisms must be as clean as possible.

vTo clean all exposed surfaces on the C846, it is recommended that you use a diluted solution of mild soap. Clean the C846 everyday with a soft cloth, dampened (not dripping wet) in the solution.

CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the unit’s coating and void the Precor Limited Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the C846. Allow the C846 to dry completely before using.

vPeriodically, clean the grooves on the foot pedals using a soft nylon scrub brush. Vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.

vThe Precor Heart Rate equipment requires little maintenance beyond keep- ing it dust free. Dampen a sponge or soft cloth in mild soap and water to wipe the touch-sensitive grips on the handlebar or to clean the POLAR® chest strap. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.

STORING THE POLAR® CHEST STRAP

Store the chest strap transmitter in a place where dust and dirt cannot accumu- late 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 degrees Fahrenheit.
