Using the M9.55 Treadmill, Safety Features

3	Using the M9.55 Treadmill
	A special feature of the M9.55 is its interactive display which lets you select a user I.D.
	(1 of 4) and enter workout specific information such as, weight, preferred course, and
	age. Each person that uses the treadmill (up to four people) can have their own user I.D.
	and personalize their workout session. Refer to User I.D. on page 28.
	When you begin a course, the treadmill displays your workout statistics. Once your
	workout is complete, the cumulative totals (Time, Distance, and Calories) are stored
	with your user I.D. By selecting the same user I.D., prior to your next workout, the
	information about your weight, preferred course, age, and cumulative workout records
	is retrieved and appears on the display. You have the option to change the WEIGHT,
	COURSE, and AGE fields, or press Enter to begin working out.
	Your treadmill also contains a Quick Start feature which lets you bypass the interac-
	tive display and start your workout immediately using the Manual course. When you
	press Quick Start while the Precor banner is displayed, your workout statistics are not
	saved to any particular user I.D. Refer to Using the Quick Start Feature on page 23, to
	learn more about this particular feature.
	This section provides workout tips and information about:
	•	safety features	• using the Quick Start feature
	•	quick steps to working out	• pause and exit features
	•	cooling down after a workout

CAUTION: Do not allow children on or near the treadmill at anytime. If anything should get caught in the rollers, the running belt does not stop immediately.

Safety Features

The M9.55 treadmill is a powerful machine. Children should not be allowed on or near the treadmill. You should assemble and use the treadmill in a safe and secure location. Other safety aspects to consider include:

•Always attach the security clip to your clothing prior to working out.

•To help prevent unauthorized use, the M9.55 provides password protection. The password is enabled at the factory. Refer to Entering a Password below.

•Prior to the start of a course, the display will return to the Precor banner if more than 2-minutes elapse without a key press occurring. This feature is helpful if you get called away just prior to starting your workout. However, do not assume that this feature makes the treadmill secure from unauthorized use.

CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, have your physician give you a complete physical examination.

Using the Security Clip

A security clip is attached by its cord to the red Stop button above the center handrail. Always attach the security clip to your clothing before each workout. A tug on the cord trips the security switch and slows the running belt to a stop. If the security switch trips while you are working out, the treadmill retains your workout statistics and enters Pause mode. To resume your workout, reattach the security clip to your clothing, and press the Speed ▲ key until you reach the desired speed.

Note: A Velcro® patch is located on the right side of the console by the handrail. Use it to store the clip while the treadmill is not being used.

Entering a Password

The M9.55 is equipped with password protection to help prevent unauthorized use. The password involves entering the following key sequence: Incline ▼, Speed ▼, and Speed

▲at the password prompt. An asterisk appears on the display with each correct entry. If the correct password is not entered within 2 minutes, access to the course is denied and the running belt will not move. The Precor banner reappears on the display.
