7	Maintaining the M9.25i Low Impact Treadmill
	The M9.25i Low Impact Treadmill requires little maintenance to keep it running smoothly and
	efficiently. However, the customer is responsible for the typical maintenance tasks such as,
	cleaning the treadmill and adjusting the running belt. If you fail to maintain the treadmill as

described below, it could affect or void the limited warranty.

CAUTION: Turn OFF the treadmill and discon- nect the power cord before performing most maintenance tasks.

CAUTION: Do not use an abrasive cleaner on the strap. Do not immerse any part of the chest strap. Do not spray or pour liquids on any part of the equipment.

Cleaning the Equipment

Your Precor treadmill relies on low friction for efficient operation. To keep the friction low, the treadmill must be as clean as possible.

Before a workout, use a damp, soft, clean cloth to clean the side platforms and running bed, (refer to Diagram 18 and its callouts). This removes any dirt or dust that might affect the smooth operation of the treadmill.

Vacuum the floor underneath the unit every week to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt on the running belt.

To periodically clean the treadmill’s frame, electronic console, and running belt use a solution of mild soap and water and dampen a clean cloth. To clean the running belt and the groves on the plastic trim strip, use a soft nylon scrub brush. Never pour water or spray liquids on the electronic console. Allow the treadmill to dry completely before using it.

Manually advance the running belt to clean the opposite side. Do not clean the belt while the running belt is moving. Liquid can splash onto the motor causing damage to the equipment and possibly injuring you.

The Precor Heart Rate Option equipment requires little maintenance beyond keeping it dust free and cleaning the chest strap with mild soap and water. Use a damp sponge or soft cloth to clean the chest strap. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.

Changing the Battery in the Chest Strap

Some Precor Heart Rate Option’s chest straps come equipped with a battery. Others are the disposable variety. If you have a battery-type chest strap, the signs that the battery is low and needs to be replaced include:

• erratic heart rate display • no heart rate display appears

To replace the battery, take the following steps:

1.Use a quarter or flathead screwdriver to open the battery case located between the two electrode strips on the chest strap. See Diagram 17. Set the battery cover aside.
