Impact Treadmill

A variety of exercise options are available on the M9.25i. Refer to the course profiles printed on the label attached to the electronic console. Before using your treadmill, we recommend that you follow the instructions found in this section which include:

•	exercising on the treadmill	•	creating and using custom courses
•	cooling down after a workout	•	using the Manual program
•	pausing or ending your workout	•	using the preprogrammed courses
•	using the QUICK START feature	•	changing interval courses

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, shown in Diagram 16 in Chapter 6.

•After your workout, walk slowly for several minutes to cool down your body and lower your heart rate. Use the cool-down feature on your treadmill.

•Before and after a workout, gently stretch your lower body and back to help prevent stiffness or soreness.

To work out on the M9.25i, take the following steps:

1.If you want your heart rate to appear on the display, or if you plan on using the Cardiovascular Course, Fitness Test, or Weight Loss programs, you will need to put on the chest strap transmitter. Refer to Wearing the Chest Strap Transmitter to learn how to properly position the chest strap.

2.Insert the magnetic safety key into the electronic console compartment.

3.Locate the ON/OFF switch at the front of the treadmill and turn ON the treadmill. The Precor banner scrolls across the electronic console display.

Note: If the treadmill is ON and the banner is not scrolling across the display, press the Hold to Reset key for a few seconds until the display appears blank. Then, release the key and the banner should begin scrolling across the display.
