IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Instructions
When using an electrical appliance, always take basic
precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the treadmill. These
instructions are written to ensure your safety and to
protect the unit.
• Before beginning any fitness program, see your physician
for a complete physical examination.
Il est conseillé de subir un examen médical complet
avant d’entreprendre tout programme d’exercise. Si vous
avez des étourdissements ou des faiblesses, arrêtez les
exercices immédiatement.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock
always unplug the treadmill from the
electrical outlet immediately after
using and before cleaning.
To reduce the risk of burns, fire,
electric shock, or injury, take the
following precautions:
• Do not allow children or those unfamiliar with its
operation on or near the treadmill. Do not leave children
unsupervised around the unit.
• Never leave the treadmill unattended when it is plugged
in. Unplug the treadmill from the power source when it is
not in use, before cleaning it, and before putting on or
taking off parts.
• Assemble and operate the treadmill on a solid, level
surface. Locate the treadmill a few feet from walls or
furniture. Keep the area behind the treadmill clear.
• Maintain the treadmill in good working condition. Refer to
the Maintenance section. Make sure that all fasteners are
secure and the belt is clean and running smoothly.
• Use the treadmill only for its intended purpose as
described in this manual. Do not use accessory
attachments that are not recommended by the
manufacturer, as such attachments may cause injuries.
• Never operate the unit if it is damaged, not working
properly, when it has been dropped, or has been
dropped in water. Return the treadmill to a service center
for examination and repair.
• Keep the power cord and plug away from heated
surfaces.
• Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol (spray)
products are being used or where oxygen is being
administered.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not use outdoors.
• Never block the air vents while operating the treadmill.
Keep the air vents clean and free of lint, hair, or anything
that might impede the free flow of air.
• Do not attempt to service the treadmill yourself except to
follow the maintenance instructions found in this manual.
• Never drop or insert objects into any opening. Keep
hands away from moving parts.
• Keep all electrical components, such as the power
cord and I/O switch, away from liquids to prevent shock.
Do not set anything on the handrails, display console,
or hood. Place liquids, magazines, and books in the
appropriate receptacles.
The treadmill must be connected to a
dedicated, grounded circuit. See
Grounding Instructions.
• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your
workout and avoid loose clothing. Do not wear shoes
with heels or leather soles. Check the soles of your shoes
and remove any dirt and embedded stones. Tie long hair
back.
• Use care when getting on or off the treadmill. Always
grasp the handrail when stepping on the running belt and
keep the initial speed at or below 1 mile per hour (mph)
or 1 kilometer per hour (kph). Never step off the treadmill
while the running belt is moving.
• Before the running belt begins moving (before your
workout), and after it stops (at the end of your workout),
straddle the belt by placing your feet firmly on the right
and left staging platforms.
• Keep your body and head facing forward. Never attempt
to turn around on the treadmill.
• The security clip must be attached at waist level before
your workout. A lanyard connects the security clip to
the red STOP button on the display console. If you
encounter difficulties, a strong tug on the lanyard stops
the running belt.
• Do not rock the unit. Do not stand on the handrail(s),
display console, or hood.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. If you
feel any pain or abnormal symptoms, stop your workout
immediately and consult your physician.
• When the treadmill is not in use, disconnect the unit by
turning the power switch to the OFF (O) position, and
then remove the power plug from the wall outlet.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Password Security
To help prevent unauthorized use, the treadmill is equipped
with password protection. The password involves entering
three keys in sequence. If the correct keys are not pressed
within two minutes, further access is denied and the
running belt will not move. For more information, refer to
Entering the Password.
Safety Approval
When identified with the ETL-c logo, the unit has
been tested and conforms to the requirements of
CAN/CSA-E-335-1/3-94, Safety of Household and
Similar Electrical Appliances.
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.

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
Federal Communications Commission, Part 15
The treadmill has been tested and found to comply with
• the IEC EMC Directive (international electromagnetic
compatibility certification)
• the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. The treadmill generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the owner’s manual
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
If the treadmill does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning
the unit OFF and ON, you are encouraged to try to correct
the interference using one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna for your TV,
radio, VCR, etc.
• Increase separation between the unit and the receiver
(TV, radio, etc.).

Owner’s Manual: Important Safety Instructions 5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Connect the treadmill into a different power outlet on a
dedicated circuit different from the one used by the
receiver (TV, radio, etc.). No other appliance should be
plugged into the same power outlet as the treadmill
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Per FCC rules, changes or
modifications not expressly approved
by Precor could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Canadian Department of Communications
