Precor M9.2s owner manual Changing Incline on the M9.1, Retrieving the Previous Workout Program

Changing Incline on the M9.1

When you use the incline crank handle, you can change the incline, up to 10 %.

•to raise the incline, rotate the handle clockwise

•to lower the incline, rotate the handle counterclockwise

Incline changes occur in 1% increments. Whenever you change the incline, the percent of incline automatically appears on the console display.

You can change incline anytime during your workout. However, you should stand on the sides of the treadmill (the side platforms) and straddle the running belt when you change the incline.

Retrieving the Previous Workout Program

To retrieve the previous workout program, simply tap the ENTER key successively three times while the start-up prompt “ENTER WEIGHT” is being displayed. Note that if someone else has exercised on the treadmill after your workout, whatever program he or she used will be the one that is restored from memory.

Pausing Your Workout

You can pause at any time during your workout. Use this feature to rest or take a short break. To pause while working out, press the STOP key. The running belt stops. Remove the safety key clip and straddle the running belt so that you can safely step off the treadmill. Your workout statistics freeze and remain displayed on the console until you resume your workout.

Do not rely on the Pause feature as a way to end your workout. If you wish to end your workout, follow the instructions in Ending Your Workout.

To resume your workout, straddle the running belt, attach the safety key clip to your clothing, press the SPEED key to start the running belt, hold the handrail, and step onto the running belt while the speed is at or below 1 mph. Your workout statistics continue from where you left off. Continue to press the SPEED key, to increase the speed to a comfortable level. Once you are comfortable with the walking or running speed, you can remove your hands from the handrail.

Cooling Down After a Workout

Cooling down after your workout is important because it helps reduce muscle stiffness and soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the working muscles. It also provides a smooth transition that allows your heart rate to return to its normal (non-exercising) state.

You can cool down after a workout by accessing manual mode (MANL). Manual mode lets you change the speed and incline and adapt a cool-down period to your particular workout. Tapping STOP twice in quick succession accesses MANL mode from any of the treadmill’s programs.

Ending Your Workout

To end your workout, take the following steps:

1.Hold onto the handrail and press the STOP key or press the SPEED key until the running belt slows to a gradual stop. The displays on the console freeze which lets you review your workout statistics.

2.Continue to press STOP (HOLD TO RESET) for a few more seconds to add your workout statistics to the cumulative totals and return to the “ENTER WEIGHT” prompt.

3.Straddle the running belt and step off the treadmill.

4.To prevent unauthorized use, remove the magnetic safety key and store it in a safe place. To access the same program the next time you workout, tap the ENTER key successively three times.
