Precor 9.23 Owner's Manual page 8

• Equipment Weight Restrictions: Do not exceed the
maximum specified user weight of 350 pounds (160
kg).
• Use care when getting on or off the treadmill. Always
grasp the handrail when stepping on the running belt
and keep the initial speed at or below 1 mile per hour
(mph) or 1 kilometer per hour (kph). Never step off the
treadmill while the running belt is moving.
• Do not set anything on the stationary handrails,
handlebars, control console, or covers. Place liquids,
magazines, and books in the appropriate receptacles.
• Do not lean on or pull on the console at any time.
• Hold onto a stationary handrail or handlebar while
assuming the starting position on the equipment.
• On treadmills, straddle the running belt and attach the
safety clip to clothing at waist level before touching the
control console.
Important: For safety, make sure users step onto the
running belt while it is moving at or below 1 mile per
hour (1.6 kilometers per hour).
• Hold on to a stationary handrail or handlebar with one
hand whenever you operate the console keys with the
other hand.
Owner's Manual: Important Safety Instructions
• Before the running belt begins moving (before your
workout), and after it stops (at the end of your workout),
straddle the belt by placing your feet firmly on the right
and left staging platforms.
• Keep your body and head facing forward. Never attempt
to turn around on the treadmill.
• The safety clip must be attached at waist level before
your workout. A lanyard connects to the magnetic safety
key. If you encounter difficulties, a strong tug on the
lanyard disengages the magnetic safety key and stops
the running belt.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. If you
feel any pain or abnormal symptoms, stop your workout
immediately and consult your physician.
• When the treadmill is not in use, disconnect the unit by
turning the power switch to the Off position, and then
remove the power plug from the power outlet.
• Make sure all users wear proper exercise clothing and
shoes for their workouts and avoid loose or dangling
clothing. Users should not wear shoes with heels or
leather soles, and they should check the soles of their
shoes to remove any dirt and embedded stones. They
should also tie long hair back.
