Before You Begin

Thank you for purchasing the Precor M9.1 or M9.2s Precision Electronic Treadmill. These
treadmills feature one of the most sophisticated and beneficial technologies Precor has ever
created:
Integrated Footplant Technology
.
Integrated Footplant Technology (IFT) is a microprocessor-regulated motor control system. This
patented technology collects motor and belt speed data and uses 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 easy-to-understand electronic console provides motivating feedback about your workout which
includes: distance covered, elapsed time, current speed, calories burned, and percent of incline.
On the M9.1, use the easy-to-reach incline crank handle on the console to change incline. On the
M9.2s you can change inclines by pressing the INCLINE key on the electronic console. Inclines
from 0 to 10 percent are available.
Two exercise modes come with the M9.1 treadmill: Manual and Interval. Manual Mode lets you
control your workload throughout your workout session. In the Interval Mode, the treadmill
reminds you to raise and lower the workload during your session in interval training fashion,
helping you to achieve aerobic fitness in a shorter period of time.
Three different modes come with the M9.2s, Manual, Interval, (same as the M9.1) and Program.
Program mode provides ten factory-programmed courses with predetermined inclines where you
choose the speed and distance of your workout. All three modes provide variety to help entice and
motivate you during your workout.
Unpacking the M9.1 or M9.2s Treadmill
The M9.1 or M9.2s Precision Electronic Treadmill is intended for household use only and has many
unique features which set it apart from conventional treadmills. To maximize your use of the
treadmill, please study this manual thoroughly. Your treadmill is carefully inspected before
shipment. Precor ships the unit in seven pieces as listed below:
• running bed assembly • handrails
• lift column assembly • lift column trim
• electronic console display • incline crank handle (M9.1 only)
• owner’s manual, limited warranty card, and hardware kit (hardware kit shown in Diagram 1.)
Carefully unpack the pieces of the treadmill and lay them on the floor near the location where you
plan to use the treadmill.
Important: If you have a M9.2s, do not cut the cable tie that runs through the elevation tube and
the lift column. The elevation tube is calibrated at the factory and the plastic cable tie prevents
excessive movement during shipment. While you are unpacking the treadmill, do not cut this cable
tie. It will be cut, when you perform step 7 in the assembly process.

combination of 1- or 2-pound hand weights and change the treadmill’s incline and speed, or stop
