Federal Communications Commission, Part 15
The M9.33 treadmill has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installa-
tion. The M9.33 treadmill generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the owner’s manual instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If the M9.33 treadmill does cause harmful interference to radio or television recep-
tion, which can be determined by turning the M9.33 treadmill OFF and ON, you are
encouraged to try to correct the interference using one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna for your TV, radio, VCR, etc.
• Increase separation between the treadmill and the receiver (TV, radio, etc.).
• Connect the treadmill into a different power outlet—on a dedicated circuit
different from the one used by the receiver (TV, radio, etc.). No other appliance
should be plugged into the same power outlet that the treadmill is connected to.
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

on the next page
.
Adjust the
rear deck.
page 18
Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt
The belt is aligned at the factory before shipment. However, during shipment or by
using the treadmill on an uneven surface, the belt might move off center. Proper belt
alignment is important because it allows the belt to remain centered and assures
smooth operation.
Follow these steps to check the alignment:
1. The treadmill has adjustable rear feet. Check to make sure that the running
surface is level (refer to steps 16 and 17 on the previous pages). If the treadmill
is placed on a slightly uneven surface, adjusting the rear feet can help, but will
not compensate for extremely uneven surfaces.
2. Locate the I/O switch at the front of the treadmill and turn the unit ON.
3. Stand beside the treadmill and press Quick Start.
4. If necessary, enter the password: Incline ▼, Speed ▼, Speed ▲.
The running belt starts automatically after the message, “
Belt Starting 3, 2, 1,...
”
appears.
5. Continue standing next to the treadmill and hold down the Speed ▲ key until the

The M9.33 is designed so that you can work out with minimal instruction. The
directions on the console and the prompts on the display help guide you through your
entire workout session. A special feature of the M9.33 is its ability to retain User I.D.
information. Each person that uses the treadmill (up to two people) can have their own
User I.D. and personalize their workout session. Refer to
User I.D. keys
on page 29.
When you select a User I.D. and work out on the M9.33, the course information, the
workout time, your weight, and your age are stored with your User I.D. once you complete
a course. By selecting the same User I.D., prior to your next workout, the information
about your preferred course, workout time, weight, and age is retrieved from memory.
Your M9.33 also contains a QUICK START
feature which lets you bypass the Setup
prompts and start your workout immediately. Refer to
The Setup Mode and the Quick
Start Feature
on page 23.
This section provides workout tips and information about:
• safety features • cooling down after a workout
• workout tips • Setup mode and Quick Start
• quick steps to working out • pause and exit features
Safety Features
The M9.33 treadmill is a powerful machine. Children should
not
be allowed on or
near the treadmill. You should assemble and use the treadmill in a safe and secure
location. Other safety aspects to consider include:
• Always attach the security clip to your clothing prior to working out.
• To help prevent unauthorized use, the M9.33 provides password protection. The
password is enabled at the factory. Refer to
Entering a Password
below.
• Prior to the start of a course, the display will return to the Precor banner if more
than two minutes elapse without a key press occurring. This feature is helpful if
you get called away just prior to starting your workout. However, do not assume
that this feature makes the treadmill secure from unauthorized use.
Using the Security Clip
A security clip is attached by its cord to the red Stop button above the center
handrail. Always attach the security clip to your clothing before each workout. A tug
on the cord trips the security switch and slows the running belt to a stop. If the
security switch trips while you are working out, the treadmill retains your workout
statistics and enters Pause mode. To resume your workout, reattach the security clip
to your clothing, and press the Speed ▲ key until you reach the desired speed.
Using the Handrails
Always grasp the handrails to help keep your balance when you step on to or off of
the treadmill and when you use the display keys. During a workout, use the
handrail(s) to keep your upper-body movement to a minimum.
Entering a Password
The M9.33 is equipped with password protection. At the password prompt “PW?”,
entering the following key sequence: Incline ▼, Speed ▼, Speed ▲.
An asterisk appears on the display with each key press. If the correct key is not
pressed within two minutes, access to the course is denied and the running belt will
not move. The Precor banner reappears on the display.

CAUTION: Do not allow children on or
near the treadmill at anytime. If anything
should get caught in the rollers, the
running belt does not stop immediately.

weight loss or cardiovascular.
Heart Rate display — helps you monitor your heart rate and, in the Heart Rate
course, keeps you within your target zone. You must wear the POLAR
®
chest strap
and face the display console before your heart rate can appear on the display.
User I.D. keys 1 and 2 — While setting up for your workout, the SELECT keys act as
User I.D. 1 and 2 (respectively). Choosing a User I.D. enables the M9.33 to identify you
and retrieve the last course used, the workout time, weight, and age. If another
person works out on the treadmill, he or she can select a User I.D. of their own and
personalize their workout session. To learn more about this feature, refer to
User I.D.
Keys 1 and 2
on page 29.
Customize the display by highlighting the LED
indicators in each column. Make your selec-
tions by pressing the appropriate SELECT key.
A lit LED indicates which feature is being
displayed. If more than one LED is highlighted,
the M9.33 sequentially scans the features
every few seconds. Refer to page 30.
