Precor owner manual Setting Up the M9.1 or M9.2s Treadmill, Installation Requirements

2	Setting Up the M9.1 or M9.2s Treadmill
	You do not need any special knowledge or experience to set up the M9.1 or M9.2s treadmill.
	However, you must carefully review and follow the instructions in this manual. If you do not
	assemble and use this treadmill according to the following guidelines, you could void the Precor

limited warranty.

Installation Requirements

CAUTION: Do not remove the 3-prong plug or otherwise bypass it with an adapter or extension cord in order to use a non-grounded outlet.

Follow these installation requirements when installing the treadmill:

•Fill out and mail the limited warranty card. The serial number is written on a label located underneath the treadmill on the left, rear corner of the running bed. The best time to locate and write the serial number onto the limited warranty card and in this owner’s manual is while the treadmill is on its side during the assembly process. Refer to Obtaining Service, page 25.

•Additional tools required. To assist with the assembly process, acquire a 7/16" socket and rachet with a 3" extension.

•Set up the treadmill on a solid, flat surface.Do not install the treadmill on deeply padded, plush, or shag carpeting due to possible damage to the carpet and machine. If the treadmill is placed on a carpeted surface, place a piece of heavy cardboard, plywood, or other smooth, flat surface under the unit to protect the carpet and treadmill. If the floor is not even, the running belt will not track properly. Refer to Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt, page 9.

•Locate the treadmill at least 4 feet from walls and furniture. Be sure to provide ample space in front of the machine to allow easy access to the ON/OFF switch. Open space to the sides and rear of the machine makes for a safer mount and dismount and easier belt adjustment.

•Use a standard 120-volt household outlet. Precor recommends that you plug your unit into a grounded outlet dedicated to a 20 amp house circuit breaker. The treadmill is equipped with a 20 amp circuit breaker to protect the electrical and electronic components from sustained overloads. An integral 3-prong plug protects the machine and is grounded for your safety.

CAUTION: Do not try to assemble the treadmill by yourself. Because of the weight of the treadmill and its parts, get additional help before performing the following steps.

Assembly Instructions

To assist you in the assembly of the treadmill, the items in the hardware kit, shown in Diagram 1, correspond to a particular letter in the alphabet. These letters appear throughout the assembly instructions. Refer to Diagram 1 while performing the steps below.

To assemble the M9.1 or M9.2s treadmill, take the following steps:

1.Locate the power switch at the front of the treadmill. Make sure that the power switch is in the OFF position and the treadmill’s power cord is unplugged. Do not assemble the treadmill if it is plugged in and turned ON.

2.Obtain appropriate assistance to lay the treadmill on its left-hand side. Placing the foam blocks on the hood of the treadmill, as shown in Diagram 2 (on the next page), helps elevate the treadmill and keep pressure off the hood and side rail during assembly.

Note: Right and left are determined while standing to the rear of the treadmill facing toward the hood.
