Before You Begin

Thank you for purchasing the Precor M9.25i Low Impact Treadmill featuring Smart Rate® with the CardiologicTM System. The M9.25i treadmill features several sophisticated and beneficial technolo- gies: Ground Effects, Integrated Footplant Technology and the Cardiologic Software System.

Ground Effects allows the treadmill’s running bed to “float” on specially formulated elastomeric springs which cushion impact and control lateral motion without diminishing the bed’s lively, responsive feel. Because it’s fully suspended, the bed provides optimum shock absorption anywhere your feet land, not just in the center of the running area.

Integrated Footplant Technology (IFT) is a microprocessor-regulated motor control system. This patented technology collects motor and belt speed data, using it to monitor your workout and enhance your safety and comfort. It replicates the natural walking and running motion of your feet. By allowing slight, natural speed variations throughout your stride, Precor treadmills reduce shock and pounding to your body.

The Cardiologic System offers an easy-to-understand electronic console that gives motivating feedback about your workout. Professionally designed exercise options incorporate the latest in exercise science. If you wear the Precor chest strap, a built-in cardio receiver displays your pulse on the electronic console so that you can maintain an appropriate heart rate as you workout. The Cardiovascular Course monitors your heart rate within a target zone and the Smart Rate display provides motivational feedback.

The M9.25i Low Impact Treadmill featuring Smart Rate with the CardiologicSystem is for household use only and has many unique features which sets it apart from conventional tread- mills. To maximize your use of the M9.25i treadmill, please study this guide thoroughly.

CAUTION: This unit weighs over 160 pounds. To avoid injury and to ensure the safety of the unit and yourself, get adequate assistance before unpacking your treadmill. Slide the running bed out of the box.
