Using the Precor 904 Total Body Treadmill

In addition to providing an excellent cardiovascular workout, one of the advantages of the 904 Total Body Treadmill is that it is simple to use. With very little time or practice, you can learn how to use it effectively. This section provides information about the following areas:

•beginning and ending your workout

•using the handrails

•working out on the treadmill

•adjusting the resistance of the running belt

Beginning Your Workout

Prior to beginning a workout, make sure that you have completed the following:

•assembled your 904 treadmill—Assembly Instructions

•adjusted the elevation tube settings—Adjusting the Elevation Tube

•checked the running belt alignment—Aligning the Running Belt

•determined handrail usage—Using the Handrails

•stretched your lower body and back—Working Out on Your 904 Treadmill

If a procedure has not been fully completed, refer to that section and complete the tasks involved before beginning your workout.

Important: We strongly recommend that you secure the handrails in an upright position while you become familiar with the micro-adjustment knob.

To begin a workout, step onto the running belt. Grasp the handrails and slowly, turn the micro-adjustment knob to fine-tune the resistance of the running belt. You should adjust the resistance so that you can walk comfortably, but maintain momentum without holding onto the handrails for support. For more information about working out, refer to Working Out on Your 904 Treadmill and Using the Micro-Adjustment Knob.

Important: The micro-adjustment knob is a fine-tuning device. If you need to turn the adjustment knob several rotations to maintain the running belt’s resistance, try changing the settings in both elevation tubes. See Adjusting the Elevation Tube. Screw threads appear and the micro-adjustment knob can fall out of the handrail if it is rotated too many times.

Ending Your Workout

To end your workout, gradually slow your pace and reduce the speed of the running belt till it comes to a complete stop. Step off the running belt and onto the floor. If the handrails are not locked in an upright position, rest each one on the safety stop. If you wish to store the treadmill, refer to the instructions found in Storing the Treadmill.

Remember to incorporate a cool-down period into your workout. A cool-down period helps you to gradually lower your heart rate and lessen excessive muscle soreness or stiffness.
