2	Setting Up the M9.5sp Treadmill
	Installation Requirements
	You do not need special knowledge or experience is required to set up an
	M9.5sp treadmill. However, you must carefully review and follow the instruc-
	tions in this manual. If you do not assemble and use this treadmill according to
	following guidelines, you could void the Precor warranty.
	CAUTION: Precor recommends that two people move the treadmill to its
	proper location. A fully assembled M9.5sp treadmill is very heavy, and
	may cause back strain if one person tries to move it.
	Follow these installation requirements when installing the treadmill:
	•	Set up the M9.5sp treadmill on a solid, level surface. Do not install the
		treadmill on deeply padded, plush, or shag carpeting due to possible
		damage to the carpet and the 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.
	•	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 back of the unit makes for a
		safer mount and dismount and easier belt adjustment.
	•	Use a 220-volt outlet. Precor recommends that you plug the treadmill into
		an outlet with a dedicated 20 amp circuit breaker. The treadmill comes
		equipped with a 20 amp circuit breaker to protect the electrical and elec-
		tronic components from sustained overloads, and an integral 3-prong plug
		grounded to protect the machine and provide for your safety.
		CAUTION: Do not remove or otherwise bypass the plug with an
		adapter in order to use a non-grounded outlet.
	•	Supply the appropriate tools. To properly assemble the 9.5sp treadmill,
		you need to supply two box end wrenches. A 1/2" box end wrench is
		needed to complete the handrail assembly installation while a 9/16" box
		end wrench is required to secure the lift platform and lift tube.
	Assembly Instructions
	Take the following steps to assemble the M9.5sp treadmill. We recommend
	that two people assemble the treadmill.
	1.	Make sure that the treadmill is unplugged and turned OFF. Do not
		assemble the M9.5sp treadmill if it is plugged in and turned ON.
	2.	Remove the black hood by unscrewing the eight phillips-head screws.
	3.	Remove the four 5/16" locknuts and washers (two on each side) from the
		handrail/display assembly mounts near the front of the treadmill as shown
		in Photo 1.
