Product Owner's Manual  
SPACING—The below minimum spacing  
recommendations are based on a combination of the  
ASTM (U.S.) voluntary standards and EN (European)  
regulations as of October 1, 2012, for access, passage  
around, and emergency dismount:  
Treadmills—a minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on each  
side of the treadmill and 2 m (78 in.) behind the  
machine.  
Cardio equipment other than treadmills—a  
minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on at least one side, and  
0.5 m (19.7 in.) behind or in front the machine.  
Careful consideration should be given to the  
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act  
(ADA), US Code 28 CFR (see Section 305). ASTM  
standards are voluntary and may not reflect current  
industry standards. The actual area for access, passage  
around, and emergency dismount is the responsibility of  
the facility. The facility should consider the total space  
requirements for training on each unit, voluntary and  
industry standards, and any local, state, and federal  
regulations. Standards and regulations are subject to  
change at any time.  
Important:These spacing recommendations should be used  
when positioning equipment away from sources of heat, such  
as radiators, heat registers, and stoves.Avoid temperature  
extremes.  
Keep equipment away from water and moisture. Avoid  
dropping anything on or spilling anything inside the  
equipment to prevent electric shock or damage to the  
electronics.  
When using the treadmill, always attach the safety clip to  
your clothing before beginning your workout. Failure to  
use the safety clip may pose a greater risk of injury in the  
event of a fall.  
Keep in mind that heart rate monitors are not medical  
devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement,  
may affect the accuracy of the heart rate readings. The  
heart rate monitors are intended only as exercise aids in  
determining heart rate trends in general.  
Do not operate electrically powered equipment in damp  
or wet locations.  
Never operate this equipment if it has a damaged cord or  
plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped,  
damaged, or exposed to water. Call for service  
immediately if any of these conditions exist.

Programming Tips  
Always start at the Precor banner.  
Electrical power must be supplied. For self-powered  
equipment, a constant power source is available if you use  
the optional power adapter. Otherwise, users have to  
maintain the minimum rate of motion. If you plan to  
program self-powered equipment, purchasing the  
optional power adapter is highly recommended.  
Note: If you do not use the optional power adapter during  
programming mode, and the rate of motion falls below  
the minimum requirements, no warning is given when the  
equipment moves into its 30-second shutdown  
procedure.  
Changes made in the programming mode become the  
default settings when the display resets to the Precor  
banner.

Product Owner's Manual  
Using SmartRate®  
The Precor SmartRate® technology is a precise, easy-to-read  
heart rate monitor that helps users achieve their best  
personalized workouts. SmartRate displays actual heart rate  
information in relation to the user’s target zone for weight  
loss and cardiovascular training. This feature is visible during  
all workouts. In addition, some equipment includes a Heart  
Rate Control (HRC) workout that automatically adjusts  
intensity to keep a user’s heart rate in its target zone. For  
more information, refer to Workouts.  
CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, see your  
physician for a thorough physical examination. Seek advice from  
your physician to learn the target heart rate appropriate for your  
fitness level.  
To test your heart rate:  
1. Begin a workout by pressing QUICK START, or by  
selecting a preset workout followed by pressing GO.  
2. Grasp the handheld heart rate sensors with both hands.  
Depending on the type of equipment, the letters "Hr"  
appear, or a blinking heart displays while the equipment  
reads your heart rate. After a few moments, your heart  
rate displays in beats per minute. The blinking segments  
in the SmartRate field indicate the current zone of your  
heart rate: Warm Up, Fat Burn, Cardio, or High.

Storing Workout Statistics  
In some fitness facilities, Precor equipment is connected to a  
computer so that you can easily retrieve your workout  
statistics and determine how well you are meeting your  
fitness goals. If you are interested in maintaining workout  
statistic information, ask the manager to create a user  
account and a user ID for you. A user ID entry is required to  
store your statistics.  
Note: If the display is blank, you will need to maintain the  
minimum rate of motion to supply power. If the Precor banner  
appears, the equipment is not connected to a computer.  
If the equipment is connected to a computer, the following  
appears:

Changing Programs in Mid-session  
You can change programs in the middle of a session by  
selecting a new program from the PROGRAMS key menu and  
pressing OK. All accumulated statistics are transferred to the  
new program as you continue exercising.  
Certain programs, such as Basic HRC and Weight Loss, are  
not available for mid-session transfers due to set goals and  
program preferences. If this occurs, a message scrolls across  
the center display.  
Note: You cannot select a different program if you are in the  
cool down period or if you stop pedaling and the equipment is  
in the pause mode.  
Cooling Down After a Workout  
Cool down periods are designed to help lower your heart rate  
toward the end of a workout session.  
When you complete a program with a time limit or specified  
goal, you automatically enter a cool down period. The settings  
change to help reduce the intensity of your workout.  
Note: You cannot switch to a different program during the  
cool down period. Any pressure on the PROGRAMS keys is  
ignored.  
A workout summary appears at the end of the cool down  
period.  
A cool down period will not be appended to your exercise  
session if any one of the following occurs:  
The fitness facility allows an unlimited time goal. A user  
must enter a time goal of N O L I M I T to access this  
option.  
The fitness facility sets a cool down time of zero, which  
eliminates the cool down phase.  
You exit a program before completing it.  
If you specify an unlimited time or the fitness facility removed  
the cool down phase, remember to incorporate a cool down  
period at the end of your exercise session.

Pausing During a Workout or the  
Cool-Down Period  
If your rate of motion drops below minimum requirements  
while exercising or during the cool down period, a 30-second  
shutdown is initiated. You cannot pause for a longer period of  
time or change to a different program unless the fitness  
facility has the optional power adapter attached to the  
equipment.  
When the optional power adapter is attached, you can pause  
for a set time, usually two minutes. If you do not resume  
exercising during that time, the display returns to the banner.  
To pause, slow to a stop.  
To exit pause mode, resume exercising.  
Note: In pause mode, you have the ability to change your  
program selection if the optional power adapter is attached.  
Refer to Changing Programs in Mid-session.  
Ending a Workout  
At the end of your workout, a workout summary appears and  
shows your cumulative statistics including warm-up and cool  
down periods. You can review your statistics as long as you  
maintain power with the minimum rate of motion.  
If you hold on to the touch-sensitive grips or wear a chest  
strap while exercising, a heart rate analysis appears during  
the workout summary.  
To view your workout summary:  
1. Maintain the minimum rate of motion when you complete  
the cool down period.  
2. End your session by pressing RESET to return to the  
Precor banner.  
Note: If the optional power adapter is attached, you do not  
have to continue the minimum rate of motion to view your  
workout statistics. When you complete the cool down period,  
the workout summary appears. When you are ready, press  
RESET to return to the Precor banner.

Assembling and Maintaining the UBK 615 Upright Exercise Bike  
SPACING—The below minimum spacing  
recommendations are based on a combination of the  
ASTM (U.S.) voluntary standards and EN (European)  
regulations as of October 1, 2012, for access, passage  
around, and emergency dismount:  
Treadmills—a minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on each  
side of the treadmill and 2 m (78 in.) behind the  
machine.  
Cardio equipment other than treadmills—a  
minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on at least one side, and  
0.5 m (19.7 in.) behind or in front the machine.  
Careful consideration should be given to the  
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act  
(ADA), US Code 28 CFR (see Section 305). ASTM  
standards are voluntary and may not reflect current  
industry standards. The actual area for access, passage  
around, and emergency dismount is the responsibility of  
the facility. The facility should consider the total space  
requirements for training on each unit, voluntary and  
industry standards, and any local, state, and federal  
regulations. Standards and regulations are subject to  
change at any time.  
Important:These spacing recommendations should be used  
when positioning equipment away from sources of heat, such  
as radiators, heat registers, and stoves.Avoid temperature  
extremes.  
Keep equipment away from water and moisture. Avoid  
dropping anything on or spilling anything inside the  
equipment to prevent electric shock or damage to the  
electronics.  
When using the treadmill, always attach the safety clip to  
your clothing before beginning your workout. Failure to  
use the safety clip may pose a greater risk of injury in the  
event of a fall.  
Keep in mind that heart rate monitors are not medical  
devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement,  
may affect the accuracy of the heart rate readings. The  
heart rate monitors are intended only as exercise aids in  
determining heart rate trends in general.  
Do not operate electrically powered equipment in damp  
or wet locations.  
Never operate this equipment if it has a damaged cord or  
plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped,  
damaged, or exposed to water. Call for service  
immediately if any of these conditions exist.

Breaking in the Equipment  
Precor equipment does not require an actual break-in period.  
However, moving components such as belts, gears, and  
bearings can settle while the equipment is being stored or  
shipped. This can cause the equipment to operate with a  
small amount of roughness or noise when it starts up for the  
first time.  
The equipment usually returns to smooth operation after a  
day or two of normal use. If it does not, contact your dealer  
for assistance. For more information, refer to Obtaining  
Service.

Maintenance  
To keep the equipment functioning properly, perform the  
minor maintenance tasks in this section at the intervals  
shown on the maintenance checklist. Failure to maintain the  
equipment as described in this section could void the Precor  
Limited Warranty.  
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always  
DANGER  
disconnect the equipment from its power source  
before cleaning it or performing any maintenance  
tasks. If the equipment is self-powered but also  
uses the optional power adapter, disconnect the  
adapter.  
Daily Cleaning  
Precor recommends that you clean the equipment before and  
after each exercise session. To remove dust and dirt from the  
equipment, wipe all exposed surfaces with a soft cloth that  
you have moistened with one of the following cleaners:  
A solution of 30 parts of water to 1 part of Simple Green®  
(for more information, visit www.simplegreen.com)  
ENVIR-O-SAFE oxygen enhanced cleaner or multi-task  
cleaner concentrate, diluted according to the  
manufacturer’s instructions (for more information, visit  
www.daleyinternational.com)

Assembling and Maintaining the UBK 615 Upright Exercise Bike  
Alternatively, you can clean the equipment with Athletix  
fitness equipment cleaning wipes (for more information, visit  
www.athletixproducts.com)  
CAUTION: Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions,  
particularly dilution instructions, before using any cleaner on  
Precor fitness equipment. Do not use concentrated cleaners at full  
strength, or acidic cleaners of any kind; such cleaners weaken the  
protective finish on the equipment and void the Precor Limited  
Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids onto any part of the  
equipment. Allow the equipment to dry completely before using.  
Vacuum the floor underneath the equipment frequently to  
prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt that can interfere  
with its operation. Use a soft nylon scrub brush to clean the  
grooves on equipment with foot pedals.  
Daily Inspection  
At least once every day, examine the equipment for the  
following problems:  
Slipping belts  
Loose fasteners  
Unusual noises  
Worn or frayed power cords  
Any other indication that the equipment may be in need  
of service  
Important: If you determine that the equipment needs service,  
disconnect all power connections (television, Ethernet, and power)  
and move the equipment away from the exercise area. Place an  
OUT OF SERVICE sign on the equipment and make it clear to all  
patrons and other users that they must not use it.  
To order parts or to contact a Precor authorized service  
provider in your area, refer to Obtaining Service.

Quarterly Maintenance  
Precor recommends that you clean and inspect the  
equipment more thoroughly once every three months.  
To perform quarterly maintenance:  
1. Remove the cover panels.  
2. Vacuum out any debris, being careful not to bring the  
vacuum cleaner nozzle too close to any circuit board  
(unless your vacuum cleaner is protected against static  
buildup).  
3. Check the tension of both belts.  
4. Replace the cover panels.  
5. Wipe the exterior of the console with a damp sponge or  
soft cloth, and dry with a clean towel. Keep water away  
from electronic components to prevent electrical shock or  
damage.  
6. Clean the touchscreen using a soft, lint-free cloth  
dampened with a 91% isopropyl alcohol solution (either  
full strength or diluted with an equal amount of water).  
Storing the Chest Strap  
If you purchased the optional heart rate chest strap, store it in  
a place where it remains free of dust and dirt (for example, in  
a closet or drawer). Be sure to protect the chest strap from  
extremes in temperature. Do not store it in a place that may  
be exposed to temperatures below 32° F (0° C).  
To clean the chest strap, use a sponge or soft cloth dampened  
in mild soap and water. Dry the surface thoroughly with a  
clean towel.

Moving the Equipment  
The equipment is very heavy. If you plan to move it to a new  
location, obtain the help of an adult assistant and use proper  
lifting techniques. If the equipment includes roller wheels on  
one end, use the wheels to reduce the load on yourself and  
your assistant.  
To move the exercise bike:  
1. Disconnect, unplug, and remove all external connections  
(television, Ethernet, and power).  
2. Lift the rear feet to tip the bike forward onto its roller  
wheels.  
3. Push the bike into its new location.  
4. Lower the rear feet to the floor.  
Long-Term Storage  
If you do not expect anyone to use the equipment for a long  
time, perform the following tasks to prepare it for storage:  
If it has a power cord, disconnect the cord.  
If it has an optional power adapter, connect the adapter to  
prevent damage to the internal battery.  
Position it so that it will not become damaged and will not  
interfere with people or other equipment.

Self-Powered Features  
Important: This chapter of the manual describes Precor fitness  
equipment that can operate without being connected to AC  
power. This includes units equipped with P30 or P10 consoles.  
However, P80 consoles must be connected to AC power through  
their power supplies to operate. For this reason, this chapter does  
not apply to units equipped with P80 consoles.  
On self-powered equipment, the system initializes and  
displays the Welcome screen when a user starts exercising. A  
minimum rate of motion must be maintained for the banner to  
appear, as shown in the following table. When a person meets  
the requirements, the power that is generated allows the  
equipment to function properly.  
Table 1. Minimum requirements for operation  
Equipment Rate of Motion  
AMT  
EFX  
40 strides per minute (SPM)  
40 strides per minute (SPM)  
30 steps per minute  
Climber  
Bike  
20 revolutions per minute (RPM)  
Informational displays appear when the battery is low or  
when the rate of motion drops below the minimum  
requirements. The display explains what to do to retain  
power. If the messages are ignored, the equipment begins  
shutdown procedures to maintain the charge of the battery.  
Refer to Informational Displays Prior to Shutdown.  
An optional power adapter can be purchased and provides  
sustained power to the equipment. If you plan to change the  
club settings on a unit equipped with a P30 or P10 console,  
the power adapter is highly recommended. To purchase the  
optional power adapter, check with your dealer. Refer to  
Obtaining Service.

Assembling and Maintaining the UBK 615 Upright Exercise Bike  
Informational Displays Prior to Shutdown  
The equipment saves its battery charge by moving into a  
shutdown mode. If the user does not maintain the minimum  
rate of motion, a 30-second shutdown process begins.  
In this mode, the console displays a countdown indicator and  
ignores all keypresses. If no movement is detected or the rate  
of motion remains below the minimum, the indicator changes  
as the countdown continues.  
Note: The user can resume exercising before the countdown  
period elapses and the workout will continue from the point at  
which it was paused.  
Important: If the equipment is connected to a CSAFE master  
device, it follows a slightly different shutdown process. Ten  
seconds before the equipment shuts down, it ends the exercise  
session and displays a reset message while it disconnects from the  
CSAFE master device. It ignores all keypresses during these last  
ten seconds.  
Symptoms of a Low Battery  
If no one has used the equipment for an extended period of  
time, the battery may need recharging.  
Symptoms of a low battery include the following:  
A flickering or erratic display  
Loss of user and program information after the user stops  
exercising, without any display of a workout summary or a  
notification of pending shutdown  
Inability to decrease the incline setting (if any)  
Important: To maintain a constant power source, use the optional  
power adapter.

Using the Optional Power Adapter  
After connecting the power adapter to the equipment, plug  
the opposite end into the appropriate power source (120 V or  
240 V).  
CAUTION: When the optional power adapter is in use, make sure  
that the power supply cord does not create a safety hazard. Keep  
it out of the way of traffic and moving parts. If the power supply  
cord or power conversion module is damaged, it must be replaced.  
The control console functions differently when the power  
adapter is connected. Because the power adapter provides a  
constant source of power, a user can pause for brief periods  
without initiating shutdown procedures. When the pause time  
limit expires and the user has not resumed exercising, the  
console returns to the Welcome screen. The default pause  
time is 30 seconds for all fitness equipment. Refer to the  
manual for your control console for instructions on setting or  
changing the pause time limit. To learn how to install the  
power adapter, refer to The Optional Power Adapter Kit.  
The Optional Power Adapter Kit  
If you purchase the optional power adapter, you must also  
purchase the internal cable kit. The kit supplies the cable,  
bracket, and fasteners that connect the power adapter to the  
lower electronics board.  
CAUTION: The internal cable kit must be installed by authorized  
service personnel. Do not attempt installation on your own as you  
could void the Precor Limited Warranty. For more information,  
refer to Obtaining Service.  
Important: If this equipment includes a P80 console, the optional  
power adapter and the internal cable kit must still be installed to  
provide continuous power to the base unit and support its internal  
battery.  
Once the internal cable kit is installed, you can plug the  
optional power adapter into the equipment. Plug the opposite  
end into the appropriate power source for your equipment  
(120 V or 240 V). Review the safety instructions found at the  
beginning of this manual before using the power adapter.
