Precor Heart Rate Option—Safety Guidelines

The Precor Heart Rate Option was created and designed exclusively for Precor

products. Before using this option, read and follow the instructions found in the

owner’s manual that accompanies your option kit or chest strap transmitter.

Theequipmentisextremelysensitive—youshouldusetheheartrateoptionwith

this in mind and take time to read the following guidelines:

•

Do not drop the equipment. It might damage the transmitter and you could

void the manufacturer’s limited warranty.

•

Do not place the chest strap near strong electromagnetic radiation sources.

Television sets, electric motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can

interfere with the heart rate signal and might affect the heart rate readings

that appear on the electronic console.

•

Use only one chest strap at a time inside the range of the receiver. If the

receiver tries to process several signals simultaneously, an incorrect heart

rate reading could result. Be sure to keep any other transmitters at least 5

feet (1.5 meters) away from the receiver on your treadmill.

The chest strap should not be immersed in water, however, wetting the

electrodes and your chest improves initial performance. Note that perspira-

tion on the chest strap during workouts is normal and actually enhances the

signal being sent from the chest strap’s transmitter.

To conduct the electrical impulses from your heart, the chest strap’s

electrodes require a certain percentage of salts and minerals in the water

used to wet them. The electrodes transmit your heart rate reading as long

as they are in contact with your skin and your skin is providing enough

moisture through your perspiration to keep the electrodes wet. However, if

the concentration of salts in your perspiration is not high enough to conduct

electricalimpulsesandsendthemtothereceiver,yourheartratereadingwill

appear erratic or not appear at all. Some people cannot use the heart rate

feature because they do not have the proper body chemistry.

Note: The spray in the option package may help increase the conductivity

of the chest strap electrodes. Use it as described in the option kit.

•

Do not use the chest strap if you are taking any medication or have a cardiac

pacemaker. Inaccurate heart rate readings can occur due to medication or

electrical impulses from the cardiac pacemaker.

•

Stretching or bending the electrode strips on the chest strap may cause the

strips to lose their conductivity. Handle the chest strap with care.

After extensive use, the chest strap (transmitter) may wear out, causing

inaccurateheartratereadings.Witheveryuse,checkthestrapforexcessive

wear. To replace it, see Obtaining Service on the inside front cover.

Precor treadmills are designed for the enjoyment of the serious runner as well

as the dedicated walker. By following the above precautions and using good

common sense, you will have many safe and pleasurable hours of healthful

exercise with your Precor treadmill.

13. Continue to Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt to complete the

installation of the treadmill.

CHECKING THE ALIGNMENT OF THE RUNNING BELT

The belt is aligned at the factory before shipment. However, during shipment or

by using the treadmill on an uneven surface, the belt might move off center.

Proper belt alignment is important because it allows the belt to remain centered

and assures smooth operation.

Follow these steps to check the alignment:

CAUTION: Do not walk on the running belt during this procedure.

1. The C964i and C962i have adjustable rear feet. Check to make sure that the

running surface is level before continuing with the following steps. If the

treadmill is placed on a slightly, uneven surface, adjusting the rear feet can

help, but will not compensate for extremely uneven surfaces.

Important: The maximum recommended height that you raise or lower the

rear of the treadmill should be no more than a 1/4". You can turn the rear foot

counterclockwise or clockwise using a crescent or open-end wrench.

2. Check to be sure that the safety switch is positioned at the green dot before

turning ON the treadmill. Locate the ON/OFFpower switch at the front of the

hood and turn it to ON ( I ).

Working Out on the Commercial Treadmill

The C964i and C962i treadmills are designed so that users can work out without

instruction or training. The directions on the console and the prompts on the

display will guide a user through the entire workout session. Before the treadmill

is used, however, we recommend familiarizing yourself with it so it will be used

safely and effectively. This section covers the following information:

•

instructions for turning the treadmill ON and OFF

instructions on how to use the safety features

an overview of the features provided on the electronic console

instructions for exercising on the treadmill

an explanation about using Manual mode and the QUICK START key

information about Smart Rate^TMand the Heart Rate Interactive Courses

(Heart Rate and Weight Loss) on the C964i

•

an explanation about the C964i Interval and Random courses

TURNING THE TREADMILL ON AND OFF

To turn ON the treadmill, take the following steps:

1. Insert the security key on the front of the hood and lock it into position. This

is an optional step and can only be done if you have purchased the Precor

Security Key Option.

2. Align the safety switch with the green dot.

3. UsetheON/OFFpower switchtoturn ONthetreadmill.Thisswitchislocated

on the front of the treadmill, near the power cable.

To turn OFF the treadmill:

1. Use the ON/OFF power switch to turn OFF the treadmill.

2. Remove the security key (if you have purchased this option) and store it in

a safe place to prevent unauthorized use.

USING THE SAFETY FEATURES

Security Lock: A security key can be purchased from your dealer and is

optionalequipmentthatcanhelppreventunauthorized use.Itislocatednearthe

ON/OFF switch and must be inserted and locked into position before power can

be supplied to the treadmill. You can remove the security key, during non-

business hours when the treadmill is not being used, and store it in a safe place

to prevent unauthorized use.

The three-position safety switch lets the user stop the running belt in an

emergency situation. In preparing for a workout, align the safety switch with the

green dot and clip the safety switch cord to clothing at the waistline before you

step onto the running belt. By taking this precaution, a tug on the safety switch

cord trips the safety switch and slows the running belt to a safe stop.

Important: Always attach the safety switch cord to your clothing before each

workout. Use the clip provided on the end of the cord. Be sure that the safety

switch is positioned at the green dot before working out.

If the safety switch trips while you are working out, the treadmill retains your

workout statistics. Realign the safety switch at the green dot and press the

SPEED key to return to the desired speed.

UNDERSTANDING THE ELECTRONIC CONSOLE

Once the treadmill is assembled, it is ready to use. There are no complex

instructions to follow or mandatory programming steps required to operate the

treadmill. Choose either the Quick Start feature which lets you immediately start

the Manual program, or the Setup Mode which prompts you for more specific

information.OntheC964i,youcanalsoselectoneofseveralworkoutprograms.

When you use the Precor Heart Rate Option, the Smart Rate^TMfeature provides

visual aids regarding your heart rate. The Precor chest strap that you wear

transmits a signal which is picked up by the software and displayed numerically

(when the Heart Rate indicator is lit) and, on the C964i, graphically along the

bottom of the left window display. The blinking segment helps you maintain your

heart rate in the weight loss or cardiovascular zones.

Informative messages also scroll across the display. These messages request

information and action, or explain problems that may arise while you are using

the treadmill. Some problems you can solve (see Troubleshooting Heart Rate

Error Messages). Other problems require a qualified service technician.

UNDERSTANDING SMART RATE ON THE C964i

The C964i software incorporates the latest in cardiac monitoring to provide

Smart Rate^TM—a visual aid that lets the user know what his or her heart rate is

at a glance. When the Precor Heart Rate Option chest strap is worn, the graph

on the display lights up with colored cells to indicate exercise intensity. A specific

percent of the user’s heart rate appears as a blinking cell within that zone.

Important:The SmartRate blinkingindicatorlightand theheartratedisplayonly

appear when a receiver is installed in the electronic display and the chest strap

transmitter is used. If the Smart Rate lights appear, but do not blink, it means that

a receiver is installed, but the user is not wearing the chest strap transmitter or

it is not working properly. Refer to Obtaining Service on the inside front cover.

Smart Rate simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise. You don’t

have to stop concentrating on your workout to find your pulse anymore. Smart

Rate performs all the calculations for you and displays a graphic image of where

youareinyour zone.SmartRateusesyourageand yourmaximumaerobicheart

rate to calculate a zone. The blinking cell symbolizes the percent at which your

heart rate is working and displays it in the cardiovascular or weight loss zone.

Using Smart Rate during a workout with any C964i program helps maximize the

user’s weight loss or cardiovascular fitness regimen. While a user works out in

a particular course, show him or her the Smart Rate display and change the

incline to position his or her heart rate in the desired Smart Rate zone.

Important: The Smart Rate indicator lights do not appear when you use the

QUICK START key.

When the heart rate is maintained between 70% and 85% of a person’s

maximum aerobic heart rate, overall improvement occurs to their cardiorespira-

tory fitness level. If a person maintains his or her heart rate between 55% and

70% of their maximum aerobic heart rate, he or she is burning enough calories

that, when continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes or more, provides

primarily fat-burning (weight loss) benefits.

Utilizing the Heart Rate Interactive Courses

ThePrecorHeart RateInteractiveSystemisbasedonresearch conductedatthe

world-renowned Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research.

Important: Any program, that you wish to make heart rate interactive, must be

used in conjunction with the Precor Heart Rate Option. The receiver must be

installed in the console and a compatible chest strap must be worn by the user.

See Obtaining Service on the inside front cover.

Before using the C964i Heart Rate Course or any program where you wish to

display your heart rate, take time to read the following guidelines.

•

Consult with your physician before engaging in any vigorous exercise. Do

not use the C964i Heart Rate Course until authorized by your physician.

Slow down and stop the workout immediately if you experience any pain or

abnormal symptoms.

Gently stretch you lower body and back before and after the course to help

prevent stiffness or soreness.

•

Know your heart rate (pulse) and your physician-recommended heart rate

training zone. Individual heart rates vary according to several physiological

factors and may not correspond directly with the tables provided.

•

You should not use the C964i Heart Rate Course if you are taking any

medications that either speed up or slow down your heart rate.

After putting on the chest strap, turn the treadmill ON and position yourself

on the running belt for a minimum of 15 seconds. This allows the treadmill

to acknowledge the presence of the transmitter.

target heart rate by using the INCLINE or keys. Use the SPEED or

keys to set the running belt’s speed.

After the warm-up period, the treadmill automatically adjusts the incline to

keep your heart rate close to the selected target. Check the Smart Rate

display on the C964i to see if you are in your preferred zone (cardiovascular

or weight loss).

Note: You can change your heart rate or speed anytime during a workout,

but doing so affects the treadmill’s ability to maintain your target heart rate.

It takes time for the treadmill to readjust the incline so that your heart rate

remains on target.

•

To view your heart rate’s target percent zone and beats per minute, briefly

press an INCLINE or key. To change the heart rate, press and hold the

INCLINE or key.

Important: A warning message will appear if you go above your maximum

recommended heart rate target zone. Heed the warning and get permission

CHANGING THE C964i INTERVAL COURSE PROFILE

The interval courses on the C964i allow you to set two custom intervals

according to your training regimen. You set the speed and incline for the two

intervals(firsttwo columns ofthe course)andthesoftware takesoverfromthere,

repeating the intervals throughout the course until the time limit runs out or you

press the STOP key.

To set the interval for a course, take the following steps:

1. At the “SELECT COURSE” prompt, use the

and

keys to display

INTERVAL. Press ENTER.

Important: Be sure you have attached the safety switch’s cord to your

clothing at your waistline before beginning your workout.

2. The INTERVAL course profile appears in the left display window. Continue

to stand next to the running belt while you press the SPEED key. Step onto

the running belt while the speed is at or below 1 mph (1.6 kph). Hold onto

the handrail until you have completed setting the two interval speeds and

inclines for the course. Be sure you are comfortable with the speed of the

running belt before you release your grip from the handrail.

3. While the cell is blinking at the top of the first column, press the SPEED

or keys to set the first interval speed. Press the INCLINE or keys to

choose the incline.

4. When the cell at the top of the second column begins blinking, use the

SPEED or keysto set the second interval speed. Choose an appropriate

incline by pressing the INCLINE or keys.

After you set the speed and incline on the first two columns of the course profile,

the treadmill’s software takes over and continues repeating those intervals

throughout the remaining course profile at the levels you selected.

Note: Anytime during your workout, you can change the interval levels by using

the SPEED or INCLINE or keys. The treadmill’s software reprograms the

remainder of the course profile to the newly specified intervals.

USING THE C964i RANDOM COURSE

Selecting a random course on C964i treadmill provides a different course profile

every time you work out. The random program provides variable course profiles.

Every time the random course is displayed, a different course profile appears.

Maintaining the Commercial Treadmill

Because of its advanced design, the treadmill requires little maintenance

beyond periodic cleaning, which is explained in this section. Keep in mind that,

as owner of this machine, you are solely responsible for its maintenance.

CAUTION: TurnOFFandunplugthe treadmill from the power outlet before

performing any maintenance tasks, such as cleaning. Remove the secu-

rity key and store it in a safe place to prevent unauthorized use.

CLEANING THE TREADMILL

Your Precor treadmill relies on low friction for efficient operation. To keep the

friction low, the treadmill must be as clean as possible.

Everyday use a damp, soft cloth to clean the staging platform, running bed, and

between the belt and running bed surface as far as you can easily reach. This

removesanydirt ordustwhich might affect the smooth operation ofthetreadmill.

Vacuum underneath and around the unit every week to prevent the accumula-

tion of dust and dirt.

CAUTION: Never pour water or spray liquids on the electronic console or

treadmill. Allow the treadmill to dry completely before using.

Periodically, clean the treadmill’s frame, electronic console, and running belt.

Use mild soap and water for this. To clean the running belt and the grooves on

the plastic trim, use a soft nylon scrub brush.

ALIGNING THE RUNNING BELT

The correct alignment of the running belt is critical to the smooth operation of the

treadmill. The belt is properly aligned at the factory. However, during shipping

and handling or by use on an uneven surface, the belt may move off center and

require a few simple adjustments.

Before adjusting the running belt, check its operation by following the steps in

Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt earlier in this manual. If you

determine that the belt needs adjustment, follow the instructions here.

CAUTION: To avoid injury, special care must be taken when adjusting the

running belt. Turn OFF the treadmill and wait for the running belt to come

toacompletestopbeforeadjustingorworkingneartherearroller.Remove

any loose clothing and tie back your hair. Be very careful to keep your

fingers or any other object clear of the belt and rollers. The treadmill will

not stop immediately if any object becomes caught in the belt or rollers.

Take the following steps to adjust the running belt on the C964i treadmill. To

ensure proper safety while aligning the running belt, all adjustments must be

made when the treadmill is OFF.

CAUTION: Do not walk on the running belt during this procedure.

1. Make sure the treadmill is OFF and the running belt is completely stopped.

2. Locate the belt adjustment bolt at the rear of the treadmill. (It is on the right

hand side as you stand behind the rear roller and face the display.) The

direction you turn the bolt depends on how the belt is tracking. Make all belt

adjustments on the rear corner bolt using the hex key provided.

•

If the belt is off center to the LEFT, turn the adjusting bolt 1/4 turn clockwise,

which moves the running belt to the right.

If the belt tracks off center to the RIGHT, turn the bolt 1/4 turn counterclock-

wise; this moves the belt to the left.

Important: Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than 1/4 turn at a time.

Overtightening the bolt can damage the treadmill.

3. With the safety switch positioned at the green dot, turn ON the treadmill.

Press the QUICK START key and then increase the speed of the running

belt to 2 mph (3.2 kph) using the SPEED key.

4. Observe the running belt for about a minute. The belt should track centered

on the running bed.

5. Press STOP/PAUSE to stop the running belt.

6. If the belt needs additional alignment, repeat steps 1 through 5 of this

procedure until the belt is properly aligned.

7. Once the running belt is properly aligned, press RESET to display the initial

start-up prompt.

CORRECTING INCONSISTENT HEART RATE READINGS

If you have purchased the Precor Heart Rate Option and the treadmill cannot

pick up your heart rate signal, or messages appear on the display regarding

heart rate errors, stop your workout and take the following steps:

Important: Besurethattheheart ratebeingdisplayed correlates toyour “normal”

heart rate during exertion. Also, review the information found in the Precor Heart

Rate Option—Safety Guidelines.

1. Check with the club manager to make sure that the C964i treadmill contains

the heart rate receiver inside the electronic console display.

2. Make sure that the electrodes on the chest strap are moist and placed

properly against your skin. Check to be sure that the strap is comfortably

tight around your chest and centered in the middle of your chest. Refer to the

sectioninyourPrecor HeartRate OptionOwner’sManualtitled, Wearingthe

Chest Strap Transmitter.

3. Be sure that you are within 3 feet of the electronic console and facing toward

it. Allow a few seconds for the receiver to display your heart rate on the

electronic console’s display.

4. Make sure that the treadmill is turned ON and the safety switch and security

key (optional equipment) are in place and properly aligned.

If you have taken the steps above and still get erratic readings, you may need

to replace the chest strap transmitter or its battery. Refer to your Precor Heart

Rate Option Owner’s Manual. Most often, when the chest strap fails to transmit

a heart rate signal, the cause is incorrect placement or conduction of the chest

strap electrodes. Check with your local servicer, he or she has a chest strap/

heart rate simulator that can test your equipment to make sure that it is operating

properly.

TROUBLESHOOTING HEART RATE ERROR MESSAGES

While you are performing the Heart Rate or Weight Loss courses, situations can

arise that cause certain messages to scroll across the display. These messages

indicate that a problem has occurred and briefly explain the solution.

Several messages have a variety of solutions. Most error messages can be

resolved by reviewing the steps in CorrectingInconsistentHeartRate Readings.

However, some error messagesrequire moresophisticatedtoolsand a qualified

service technician. If you have difficulty correcting a problem, call your local

servicer. Refer to the Obtaining Service section on the inside front cover.

mills. When you receive the handrail option package, check its contents with the

corresponding list below:

Short Handrail Option

Long Handrail Option

One short handrail

Two end clamps

One center clamp

Three large bolts

One locknut

One long handrail

Two end clamps

One center clamp

Three large bolts

One locknut

Note: To assemble the handrail(s), you will need the original 3/16" hex key that

came with your unit and a utility blade or Xacto^TMknife to pierce the label along

the siderail at the mounting bolt locations.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

The assembly of the short or long handrail is the same, except for the location

of the end mount along the siderails. To properly install the handrail(s) on your

unit, take the following steps:

CAUTION: Turn OFF the unit and unplug it from the power source before

installing the handrails.

1. Using the 3/16" hex key remove the handrail end covers (the “covers” are

large black washers). Set the covers aside and discard the bolts because

they are being replaced by the bolts in the hardware kit.

Important: Install a handrail on one side of the treadmill before proceeding

to the other side. Attach the front portion of the handrail first. This helps you

determine where to cut the siderail label to attach the lower end of the

handrail.
