Safety Information

Before beginning any fitness program, you should have a complete physical

examination by your personal physician.

Review this manual to become familiar with the M9.4 Electronic Treadmill

Ergometer operations. Be sure to read and observe the following guidelines

when using this treadmill:

• Read the Owner’s Manual and follow all instructions.

Note for Club Owners: To ensure the proper use and safety of the M9.4

treadmill, make sure that all users review this manual. Please make this

manual a part of your training program.

• Assemble and operate the M9.4 treadmill on a solid, level surface. Locate

the treadmill at least 4 feet from walls or furniture. Keep the area behind the

treadmill clear.

• Do not allow children on or near the M9.4 treadmill. Do not leave children

unsupervised around the treadmill.

• Check the M9.4 treadmill before each use. Do not use the treadmill if it is

not completely assembled or is damaged in any way.

• Keep hands away from moving parts.

• Do not use the M9.4 treadmill if you weigh over 350 lbs. The M9.4 tread-

mill is built to handle runners up to 350 lbs. at speeds up to 12 mph.

• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your workout—no loose

clothing. Do not wear shoes with heels or leather soles. Check the soles of

your shoes and remove any embedded stones. Tie long hair back.

• Keep all loose clothing and towels away from the treadmill running surface.

A treadmill running belt will not stop immediately if any object becomes

caught in the belt or rollers.

• Use care when getting on or off the M9.4 treadmill. Use the handrails

whenever possible. Do not get on or off the treadmill when the running belt

is moving.

• Before starting the running belt, straddle the belt by placing your feet firmly

on the right and left staging platforms. You should also step off the belt and

onto the staging platforms after turning off the treadmill.

• Do not turn ON the treadmill when someone is standing on the machine.

• Keep your body and head facing forward. Never attempt to turn around on

the treadmill when the running belt is moving.

• Do not rock the unit. Do not stand or climb on the handrails, electronic

console, or hood.

page 3

• Do not set anything on the handrail, electronic console, or hood. Never

place liquids on any part of the treadmill.

• Keep all electrical components, such as the motor, power cord, and

ON/OFF switch, away from water or other liquids to prevent shock.

• Do not use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the

manufacturer—such attachments might cause injuries.

• Do not attempt to service the M9.4 treadmill yourself. This treadmill does

not have any user-serviceable parts. See

Getting Service

at the end of this

manual for service information.

• Turn OFF the treadmill and wait for the belt to come to a complete stop

before adjusting or working near the rear roller. Do not make any adjust-

ments to the running belt when someone is standing on the machine.

• This treadmill is manufactured with six safe “fail-off” systems. If the tread-

mill encounters a problem, it will trigger a “fail-off” system, allowing the

running belt to come to a gradual stop. Continued use of the treadmill after

a fail-off system occurs is not recommended. Instead, have your treadmill

serviced as described in

Getting Service

later in this manual.

• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion.

• Stop your workout immediately if you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms,

and consult your physician.

Precor treadmills are designed for the enjoyment of the serious runner as well

as the dedicated walker. By following the above precautions and using good

common sense, you will have many safe and pleasurable hours of healthful

exercise with your Precor M9.4 Electronic Treadmill Ergometer.

good operating condition. Precor ships the unit in five pieces as listed below:

• running bed assembly

• handrail/display assembly

rather than lifting the running bed assembly from the box.

After unpacking the treadmill, open the hardware kit and make sure that you

have the following items:

two hex-head shoulder bolts

one long shoulder bolt

four 3/8" screws

one 3/8" locknut

two plastic plug caps

three cable ties

Setting Up the M9.4 Electronic Treadmill

Ergometer

2You do not need any special knowledge or experience to set up an M9.4

Electronic Treadmill Ergometer. However, you must carefully review and follow

the instructions in this manual. If you do not assemble and use this treadmill

according to the following guidelines, you could void the Precor warranty.

Installation Requirements

Follow these installation requirements when installing the treadmill:

•Set up the M9.4 treadmill on a solid flat surface. Do not install the

treadmill on deeply padded, plush, or shag carpeting due to possible

damage to the carpet and machine. If the treadmill is placed on a carpeted

surface, place a piece of heavy cardboard, plywood, or other smooth, flat

surface under the unit to protect the carpet and treadmill.

•Locate the treadmill at least 4 feet from walls and furniture. Be sure to

provide ample space in front of the machine to allow easy access to the

ON/OFF power switch. Open space to the sides and back of the machine

makes for a safer mount and dismount and easier belt adjustment.

•Use a standard 120-volt household outlet. Precor recommends that you

plug the treadmill into an outlet with a dedicated 20 amp circuit breaker.

The treadmill comes with a 20 amp circuit breaker to protect the electrical

and electronic components from sustained overloads, and an integral

3-prong plug grounded for your safety and to protect the machine.

CAUTION: Do not remove or otherwise bypass the plug with an adapter

in order to use a non-grounded outlet.

Assembly Instructions

Follow these instructions to assemble the M9.4 treadmill:

1. Make sure that the treadmill is unplugged and turned OFF. Do not

assemble the M9.4 treadmill if it is plugged in and turned ON.

2. Remove the black hood by unscrewing the eight phillips-head screws.

3. Remove the four 5/16" locknuts and washers (two on each side) from the

handrail/display assembly mounts near the front of the running bed as

shown in Photo 1.

4. Position the handrail assembly so both the right and left handrail columns

align over the mounts. Replace the washers and locknuts. Using the hex

key provided in the hardware kit, securely tighten each locknut.

5. Locate the ribbon cable connector that protrudes from the handrail/display

assembly.

through the lift motor mount and into the lift motor. Follow the same proce-

dure for the second shoulder bolt. (See Photo 3.) Align the motor and

securely tighten the shoulder bolts.

13. Lay the treadmill on its right-hand side with the help of another person.

Note: Right and left are determined while standing behind the treadmill,

facing towards the front of the machine.

14. Locate the long shoulder bolt and 3/8" locknut in the hardware kit. Insert

the long shoulder bolt through the center of the lift platform and the lift tube.

Secure the lift platform and tube together by fastening the 3/8 " locknut to

the end of the shoulder bolt. Fully tighten the bolt with the hex key pro-

vided. (See Photo 5.)

15. Return the treadmill to an upright position, so it rests flat on the floor.

16. Replace the black hood that you removed in Step 1 and tighten the eight

phillips-head screws.

CAUTION: Precor recommends that two people move the treadmill to

its final location. A fully-assembled M9.4 treadmill is very heavy, and

might cause back strain if one person tries to move it.

17. If you need to move the treadmill, ask for assistance from another person.

Roll the treadmill on its front wheels to the new location by lifting the rear

end of the unit.

CAUTION: Do not remove or otherwise bypass the 3-prong plug with

an adapter in order to use a non-grounded outlet.

18. Plug the treadmill into a standard 120v household outlet. Make sure that no

other major appliances use the same circuit as the treadmill.

19. Continue to
