Precor M9.1 Treadmill User Manual


 
page 15
To workout on the treadmill, follow these instructions.
1. On the electronic console, place the magnetic safety key in the ACTIVATE position. Walk to the
front of the treadmill and turn ON the treadmill using the ON/OFF switch. The safety key must
be in the ACTIVATE position before you can turn ON the treadmill.
2. Straddle the running belt with your feet firmly planted on the right and left side platforms.
Stand close enough to the electronic console so you can extend your arms and touch the
keypad.
3. Using the clip provided, securely attach the magnetic safety key to your clothing at your
waistline where it will not interfere with your workout.
4. When you see “ENTER WEIGHT” scroll across the display, specify your weight using the
keys. When the correct weight is displayed, press ENTER.
The number on the display moves in 5-pound (2-kilogram) increments. You must select the
weight closest to your to your actual weight so that the treadmill can provide accurate
feedback about calories burned during a workout.
Once your weight is specified, you may not need to enter it again. The treadmill automatically
remembers the last weight entered. At your next workout, simply press ENTER at the “ENTER
WEIGHT” prompt. (If another person has used the machine and changed the weight, you will
need to re-enter your weight as described in this step.)
5. At the “SELECT COURSE” prompt, choose your workout mode, either Interval (INTV), Manual
(MANL), or one of the preprogrammed courses (M9.2s only). Press the keys until you
see the desired mode, then press ENTER. For more information about the two different
modes, read the following pages.
Once you specify the mode, the treadmill automatically remembers it. If no one else uses the
treadmill or makes any changes before your next workout, you can simply press ENTER at the
SELECT COURSE” prompt and activate the same mode.
Important: If you choose “INTV” mode, refer to
Changing the Interval Course Profile
before
continuing on to the next steps.
6. Hold onto the handrail with one hand and press the SPEED key with the other hand. Step
onto the running belt while it is at or below 1 mph. Once you are comfortable with the walking
or running speed, you may remove your hands from the handrail.
Note: To pause during your workout session, press the STOP key. The features on the display
remain, but your workout statistics stop accumulating. See
Pausing Your Workout
or
Ending
Your Workout
for more information. Remember to hold onto the handrail when using the
electronic console and when slowing down or stopping the running belt.
7. When you are finished exercising, hold onto the handrail and press STOP or press SPEED .
The running belt slows to a stop. You can then review your workout results as the display
scans through DISTANCE, TIME, and CALORIES.
Important: Always allow yourself a cool-down period of a few minutes before bringing the
running belt to a complete stop. On the M9.2s, press STOP twice in quick succession at the
end of a course to access Manual mode and begin a cool-down period.
8. If desired, after reviewing the displays, reset them to zero by pressing and holding STOP for
several seconds.
9. Detach the magnetic safety key cord from your clothing and place the safety key in the OFF
position on the electronic console. The treadmill turns OFF. To prevent unauthorized use,
remove the safety key from the treadmill and store it in a safe place.
