Before beginning any fitness program, you should see your
physician for a thorough physical examination.
• Read the Owner’s Manual and follow all instructions.
These instructions are written to ensure your safety
and to protect the equipment.
• Handle the Precor 903/904 electronic console with
care. Do not drop the equipment. It might damage the
device and you could void the Precor limited warranty.
• After extensive use, the batteries may wear out which
causes the information on the display to flicker
erratically or not appear at all. If you need to replace
the batteries, refer to Replacing the Batteries in the
maintenance section of this manual.
• Do not operate the treadmill for a 24-hour period after
installing the magnet and reed switch. A 24-hour
period is required so that the adhesive on the
mounting pads can bond properly.
The Precor 903/904 electronic console is designed to
enhance your workout. By following the above precautions
and using good common sense, you will have many safe
and enjoyable hours of healthy exercise with your Precor
products.
