IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Grounding Instructions
The treadmill must be grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks
down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current, which reduces the risk of electrical shock. The unit is
equipped with a power cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. Failure to properly ground the treadmill
could void the Precor Limited Warranty.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the unit is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the treadmill. If it does not fit the outlet,
get a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
120 V Units and 240 V Units
Designated for U.S. Markets
The treadmill must be connected to a dedicated, grounded circuit.
A 20 amp dedicated circuit is recommended. The unit’s grounding
plug looks like the plug shown in Diagram 1 and Diagram 2. The
power outlet must have the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this product.

Determining the Club Speed Limit
You can set a maximum speed for the treadmill. This limits how fast the
running belt moves and, consequently, how many adjustments a user
can make to the treadmill’s speed. 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 earlier. The range of
speeds available are:
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 miles per hour (U.S.
standard) to kilometers per hour (Metric). It stores separate numbers
for the different units of measure.

Setting a Workout Time Limit
You can limit how long a user can exercise on the treadmill. For
example, if you set the time limit to 20 minutes, users can only enter a
workout time between 1 and 20 minutes.
Note: The automatic cool-down period is appended to the end of any
time-based program, so adjust the time limit accordingly.
You can also let a user exercise indefinitely by selecting NO LIMIT. You
will need to instruct users to select NO LIMIT (C952i) or press the
number 0 (C954i, C956i, C966i) when they are prompted for a

User ID Entry with CSAFE Equipment
(C954i, C956i, C966i)
The treadmill is fully compatible with CSAFE protocols. When the unit
is connected to a CSAFE master device, the user is prompted for a
user ID.
Note: The C952i port does not provide a connection to CSAFE
protocol devices.
The user ID is displayed as five zeros. The left most zero blinks
indicating your starting point. The following table describes key
functions while in CSAFE mode.
A message appears on the display and indicates when the user ID is
accepted by the CSAFE master device. Then, the program prompt
appears. The user has the option to choose QUICKSTART or select a
program and begin exercising.
