CAUTION: Do not remove or otherwise bypass the 3-prong plug with an adapter or extension cord in order to use a non-grounded outlet. Electrical damage can occur if the treadmill is connected to an improper power source.

Setting Up the Low Impact Treadmill

You do not need any special knowledge or experience to set up a M9.21i or M9.21si treadmill. However, you must review and follow the instructions in this manual. If you do not assemble and use the treadmill according to the following guidelines, you might void the Precor limited warranty.

Installation Requirements

Follow these installation requirements when installing the treadmill:

•Acquire the appropriate tools. In addition to the tools supplied in the hardware kit, you will need a phillips head screwdriver to remove the hood from the treadmill.

•Fill out and mail the limited warranty card. The serial number is printed on a label located underneath the treadmill on the left, rear corner of the running bed. Write the serial number onto the limited warranty card and in this manual before assembling the treadmill. Refer to Obtaining Service.

•Set up the M9.21i or M9.21si 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 installed in a carpeted area, place a piece of heavy cardboard, plywood, or other solid, smooth, flat surface under the unit. If the floor is not even, the running belt will not track properly. Refer to Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt.

•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 machine makes for a safer mount and dismount and easier belt adjustment.

•Use a standard 120-volt household outlet. The M9.21i or M9.21si treadmill is for household use only. Precor recommends plugging the treadmill into an outlet that is connected to a dedicated 20 amp house circuit breaker. A 20 amp circuit breaker inside the treadmill also helps protects the electrical and electronic components from sustained overloads. An integral 3-prong, grounded plug meets safety requirements and protects the machine.
