Thank you for purchasing the Precor M9.25i Low Impact Treadmill featuring Smart Rate
®
with the
Cardiologic
TM
System. The M9.25i treadmill features several sophisticated and beneficial technolo-
gies:
Ground Effects,
Integrated Footplant Technology
and the
Cardiologic Software System
.
Ground Effects allows the treadmill’s running bed to “float” on specially formulated elastomeric
springs which cushion impact and control lateral motion without diminishing the bed’s lively,
responsive feel. Because it’s fully suspended, the bed provides optimum shock absorption
anywhere your feet land, not just in the center of the running area.
Integrated Footplant Technology (IFT) is a microprocessor-regulated motor control system. This
patented technology collects motor and belt speed data, using it to monitor your workout and
enhance your safety and comfort. It replicates the natural walking and running motion of your feet.
By allowing slight, natural speed variations throughout your stride, Precor treadmills reduce shock
and pounding to your body.
The Cardiologic System offers an easy-to-understand electronic console that gives motivating
feedback about your workout. Professionally designed exercise options incorporate the latest in
exercise science. If you wear the Precor chest strap, a built-in cardio receiver displays your pulse
on the electronic console so that you can maintain an appropriate heart rate as you workout. The
Cardiovascular Course monitors your heart rate within a target zone and the Smart Rate display
provides motivational feedback.
The M9.25i Low Impact Treadmill featuring Smart Rate with the Cardiologic
System is for
household use only and has many unique features which sets it apart from conventional tread-
mills. To maximize your use of the M9.25i treadmill, please study this guide thoroughly.
