Setting a Cool-Down Time Limit
You can limit how long a user cools down after exercising on
the unit by entering a time between 0 and 5 minutes.
Important: It is highly recommended that you set the cool-
down period at or above three minutes. It takes time for a
user’s heart rate to return to a resting state after vigorous
exercise. An effective cool-down period also reduces the
amount of lactic acid in muscle tissue.
4. At the SET COOL DOWN TIME prompt, press OK. Use
the navigational arrow keys to display the available time
limits. The default setting is 5 minutes.
5. When you are ready, press OK to accept the displayed
setting and move to the next program. Or, press PAUSE/
RESET to return to the Precor banner.
Setting the Speed Limit
You can set a maximum speed for the treadmill. This limits
how fast the running belt moves and, consequently, the
number of speed settings that are available to the user. The
speed is displayed in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per
hour (kph) depending upon the units of measure (U.S.
standard or Metric) selected through the OPTIONS key. The
range of speeds available are 0.5 to 12 mph (0.8 to 20 kph).
Important: If you select a number that limits the miles per
hour, your change will not affect the kilometers per hour
(and vice versa). The treadmill does not convert the speed
entered in mph (U.S. standard) to kph (Metric). It stores
separate numbers for the different units of measure. To enter
both values, you must first reset the display to the
appropriate unit of measure, and then change the speed
limit in this program. Refer to Changing the Units of
Measure Display.
6. At the SET SPEED LIMIT prompt, press OK. Use the
navigational arrow keys to select the desired running belt
speed limit.
7. When you are ready, press OK to accept the displayed
setting and return to the SET MAX PAUSE TIME prompt.
Or, press PAUSE/RESET to return to the Precor banner.
