Storing the Chest Strap
If you purchased the optional heart rate chest strap, store it in a place
where it remains free of dust and dirt (for example, in a closet or
drawer). Be sure to protect the chest strap from extremes in
temperature. Do not store it in a place that may be exposed to
temperatures below 32° F (0° C).
To clean the chest strap, use a sponge or soft cloth dampened in mild
soap and water. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.
Checking the Alignment of the
Running Belt
Proper belt alignment allows the belt to remain centered and ensures
smooth operation. Realigning the belt takes a few simple adjustments.
If you are unsure about this procedure, call Precor Customer Support.
Refer to Obtaining Service.
CAUTION: Special care must be taken when aligning the
running belt. Turn OFF the treadmill while adjusting or working
near the rear roller. Remove any loose clothing and tie back your
hair. Be very careful to keep your fingers and any other object
clear of the belt and rollers, especially in front of the roller and
behind the deck. The treadmill will not stop immediately if an
object becomes caught in the belt or rollers.
1. Make sure that the running surface is level. To operate correctly,
the treadmill needs to be as level as possible. If needed, the rear
feet can be adjusted to level the treadmill (refer to the Assembly
Guide). However, if the treadmill is placed on an uneven surface,
adjusting the rear feet can help but not compensate for extremely
uneven surfaces.
2. Turn the unit ON.
3. Stand beside the treadmill and press QUI CKSTART.
4. If needed, enter the password by pressing the following keys in
sequence: INCLINE ▼, SPEED ▼, SPEED▲.
The running belt starts automatically after a 3-second countdown
appears on the display.
5. Press the SPE ED ▲ key until the display shows a speed of 3 mph
(5 kph).
CAUTION: If you hear any chafing or the running belt
appears to be getting damaged, stop the running belt
immediately by pressing the red STOP button. Contact
Precor Customer Support.
6. Walk around to the rear of the unit and observe the belt
for a few minutes. The belt should run centered along the running
bed. If the belt drifts off center, you must make adjustments.
Important: If the belt needs alignment, make the adjustments at
once. Failure to align the belt may cause the belt to tear or fray,
which is not covered by the Precor Limited Warranty.
7. To stop the running belt, press the red STOP button.
8. Turn the treadmill OFF.
