Product Owner's Manual: Important Safety Instructions
2
Care should be taken when mounting or dismounting the
equipment.
Read, understand, and test the emergency stop procedures
before use.
Keep the power cord or optional power adapter and plug away
from heated surfaces.
Route power cables so that they are not walked on, pinched, or
damaged by items placed upon or against them, including the
equipment itself.
Ensure the equipment has adequate ventilation. Do not place
anything on top of or over the equipment. Do not use on a
cushioned surface that could block the ventilation opening.
Assemble and operate the equipment on a solid, level surface.
Proper Location for Equipment
For all equipment other than treadmills: Locate at least
40 inches (1 meter) away from walls or furniture on
either side of the equipment, and 40 inches (1 meter)
away from objects behind the equipment.
For treadmills: Locate at least 40 inches (1 meter) away
from walls or furniture on either side of the treadmill, and
at least 80 inches (2 meters) away from objects behind
the treadmill.
Important: These location standards should also 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.
Maintain the equipment to keep it in good working condition, as
described in the Maintenance section of the owner’s manual.
Inspect the equipment for incorrect, worn, or loose components,
and then correct, replace or tighten prior to use.
If you plan to move the equipment, obtain help and use proper
lifting techniques.
Equipment Weight Restrictions: Do not use the treadmill if you
weigh more than 500 pounds (225 kg). If you weigh more than
350 pounds (160 kg), do not run on the treadmill. For all other
fitness equipment, the weight limit is 350 pounds (160 kg).
Use the equipment only for its intended purpose as described in
this manual. Do not use accessory attachments that are not
recommended by Precor. Such attachments may cause injuries.
