2Setting 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.
