Precor M9.20s Setting Up the M9.20/s Low Impact Treadmill, Installation Requirements

2	Setting Up the M9.20/s Low Impact Treadmill
	You do not need any special knowledge or experience to set up a M9.20 or
	M9.20s Low Impact 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 could void the Precor limited warranty.

Note: Throughout this manual reference is made to the M9.20/s. The M9.20/s designation indicates that the information you are reading applies to both the M9.20s and the M9.20 treadmills.

Installation Requirements

Follow these installation requirements when installing 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. The best time to locate and write the serial number onto the limited warranty card and in this manual is while the treadmill is on its side during the assembly process. Refer to Obtaining Service, page 33.

• Set up the M9.20/s 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 to protect the carpet and treadmill. If the floor is not even, the running belt will not track properly. Refer to Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt, page 11.

• 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. Precor recommends that you plug the treadmill into an outlet with a dedicated 20 amp house circuit breaker. The treadmill is equipped with a 20 amp circuit breaker to protect the electrical and electronic components from sustained overloads, and an integral 3-prong grounded plug to provide for your safety and to protect the machine.

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. Electri- cal damage can occur if the treadmill is connected to an improper power source.
