Verifying that the Heart Rate Display is Operational
To verify that the heart rate display is operational:
1.
Hold on to a stationary handrail and step on the foot
pedals.
2.
When you are comfortably situated, begin pedaling. A
pedaling speed above 40 strides per minute must be
maintained for several seconds.
3.
Grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips on the
stationary handrails.
4. Look at the HEART RATE display. After a few seconds, a
number appears indicating your heart rate.
Note: If a number does not appear in the HEART RATE
display, you may need to disassemble the unit and check
the cable connection.
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.
