Setting a Cool-Down Time Limit

You can limit how long a user cools down after exercising on the unit by entering a time between 0 and 5 minutes.

Important: It is highly recommended that you set the cool- down period at or above three minutes. It takes time for a user’s heart rate to return to a resting state after vigorous exercise. An effective cool-down period also reduces the amount of lactic acid in muscle tissue.

4.At the SET COOL DOWN TIME prompt, press OK. Use the navigational arrow keys to display the available time limits. The default setting is 5 minutes.

5.When you are ready, press OK to accept the displayed setting and move to the next program. Or, press PAUSE/ RESET to return to the Precor banner.

Setting the Speed Limit

You can set a maximum speed for the treadmill. This limits how fast the running belt moves and, consequently, the number of speed settings that are available to the user. The speed is displayed in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (kph) depending upon the units of measure (U.S. standard or Metric) selected through the OPTIONS key. The range of speeds available are 0.5 to 12 mph (0.8 to 20 kph).

Important: If you select a number that limits the miles per hour, your change will not affect the kilometers per hour (and vice versa). The treadmill does not convert the speed entered in mph (U.S. standard) to kph (Metric). It stores separate numbers for the different units of measure. To enter both values, you must first reset the display to the appropriate unit of measure, and then change the speed limit in this program. Refer to Changing the Units of Measure Display.

6.At the SET SPEED LIMIT prompt, press OK. Use the navigational arrow keys to select the desired running belt speed limit.

7.When you are ready, press OK to accept the displayed setting and return to the SET MAX PAUSE TIME prompt. Or, press PAUSE/RESET to return to the Precor banner.
