Treadmill Safety Features
Before allowing users on Precor equipment, review the Important
Safety Instructions found at the beginning of this manual. You
should also teach your patrons how to safely use the equipment
following the guidelines in Educating Users.
Entering the Safety Code
When the equipment is shipped from the factory, the safety code
protection feature is disabled. If you wish to enable the safety code,
refer to Club Features. Inform users that the equipment requests a
safety code to help prevent unauthorized use. When users select a
program or press QUICKSTART at the PRECOR banner, the
following prompt appears:
ENTER SAFETY CODE
Users have two minutes to press the following number key
sequence and continue their workout: 1, 2, 3, 4.
Important: Tell users to hold onto the handrail with one hand
before entering the safety code with the other hand.
If the correct keys are pressed, the program selection process
begins. If the code is incorrect, the display prompts the user to
reenter the code after a 2-minute time out.
Note: On the treadmill, a 3-second countdown appears on the
display, and then the running belt starts moving. Refer to Workout
Options in the User’s Reference Manual.
Using the Safety Clip
Instruct users how important it is to use the safety clip while
exercising on the treadmill. Instruct them on how to attach it to their
clothing near their waistline. If any complications occur, a strong
tug on the safety lanyard will stop the running belt.
If the safety switch trips while users are exercising, have them
reattach the safety clip, press the SPEED up key or QUICKSTART
and reenter the safety code, if necessary.
Note: The treadmill retains users’ workout statistics if they resume
their workout within the limit set for pause mode.

Product Owner's Manual: Treadmill Safety Features 8
Product Owner's Manual: Treadmill Safety Features 9
Turning the Treadmill On and Off
To turn the treadmill On and Off, use the power switch located
beneath the hood, near the power cord receptacle.
Important: When it is not being used, turn the treadmill Off.
Weight Limit
You should not allow runners over 350 lb. (160 kg) or walkers
heavier than 500 lb. (225 kg) on the treadmill.
Location
It is important to keep the area around the treadmill open and free
from encumbrances such as other equipment. The minimum space
requirement needed for user safety and proper maintenance is
three feet wide by six feet deep (one meter wide by two meters
deep), directly behind the running belt.
Self-Powered Features
On self-powered equipment, the battery initializes and displays the
Precor banner when a user starts exercising. A minimum rate of
motion must be maintained for the banner to appear, as shown in
the following table. When a person meets the requirements, the
power that is generated allows the equipment to function properly.
Table 1. Minimum requirements for operation
Equipment Rate of Motion
EFX 40 strides per minute (SPM)
Cycle 20 revolutions per minute (RPM)
Informational displays appear when the battery is low or when the
rate of motion drops below the minimum requirements. The display
explains what to do to retain power. If the messages are ignored,
the equipment begins shutdown procedures to maintain the charge
of the battery. Refer to Informational Displays Prior to Shutdown.
An optional power adapter can be purchased and provides
sustained power to the equipment. If you plan to change the club
settings, the power adapter is highly recommended. To purchase
the optional power adapter, check with your dealer. Refer to
Obtaining Service.
Informational Displays Prior to
Shutdown
The equipment saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown
mode. If the user does not maintain the minimum rate of motion, a
30-second shutdown process begins.
Dots appear in the display and all key presses are ignored. If no
movement is detected or the rate of motion remains below the
minimum, the dots steadily disappear as the countdown continues.
Note: The user can resume exercising if he or she begins before
the countdown period elapses.
Important: If the equipment is connected to a CSAFE master
device, a slightly different scenario occurs. When ten seconds
remain before the equipment shuts off, the exercise session ends.
RESETTING
appears in the display while the equipment
disconnects from the CSAFE master device. All key presses are
ignored.
Product Owner's Manual: Self-Powered Features 10
Symptoms of a Low Battery
If no one has used the equipment for an extended period of time,
the battery may need recharging.
Symptoms of a low battery include:
y
y
A flickering or erratic display
User and program information is lost once the user stops
exercising. No workout summary or notification of pending
shutdown occurs.
Important: To maintain a constant power source, use the optional
power adapter.
Using the Optional Power Adapter
After connecting the power adapter to the equipment, plug the
opposite end into the appropriate power source 120 V or 240 V.
CAUTION: When the optional power adapter is in use, make sure
that the power supply cord does not create a safety hazard. Keep
it out of the way of traffic and moving parts. If the power supply
cord or power conversion module is damaged, it must be
replaced.
The display functions differently when the power adapter is
connected. Because the power adapter provides a constant source
of power, a user can pause for brief periods without initiating
shutdown procedures. When the pause time limit expires and the
user has not resumed exercising, the display returns to the Precor
banner. Refer to Setting a Pause Time Limit. To learn how to install
the power adapter, refer to The Optional Power Adapter Kit.
Product Owner's Manual: Self-Powered Features 11
Product Owner's Manual: Self-Powered Features 12
The Optional Power Adapter Kit
If you purchase the optional power adapter, you must also
purchase the internal cable kit. The kit supplies the cable, bracket,
and fasteners that connect the power adapter to the lower
electronics board.
CAUTION: The internal cable kit must be installed by authorized
service personnel. Do not attempt installation on your own as
you could void the Precor Limited Warranty. For more
information, refer to Obtaining Service.
Once the internal cable kit is installed, you can plug the optional
power adapter into the equipment. Plug the opposite end into the
appropriate power source for your equipment 120 V or 240 V.
Review the safety instructions found at the beginning of this manual
before using the power adapter.
Replacing the Battery
The equipment’s battery is built to last for a long time. However, if
you feel that the battery may need replacing, check with an
authorized service technician. Refer to Obtaining Service.

Setting a Pause Time Limit
You can limit how long a user can pause while exercising on the
equipment by entering a time between 1 and 120 seconds (two
minutes). For example, if you set a pause time limit of 60 seconds,
the display automatically resets to the Precor banner if no
movement is detected and no key press occurs for one minute.
Important: The optional power adapter must be connected on
self-powered equipment to establish a definitive pause time limit. If
the optional power adapter is not attached and the rate of motion
drops below the minimum requirements, the equipment begins its
30-second shutdown, effectively eliminating pause mode. Refer to
the table in Self-Powered Features.

Setting a Cool-Down Time Limit
You can limit how long a user cools down after exercising on the
equipment 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.
At the
SET COOL DOWN TIME
prompt, press OK. Use the
navigational arrow keys to display the available time limits.
Choose between 0 and 5 minutes. The default setting is 5
minutes.

Treadmill: Determining the Club 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 earlier. The
speed ranges from 0.5 to 12 mph (0.8 to 20kph).
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 Selecting a U.S.
Standard or Metric Display.

Cycle: Setting a Resistance Range
You can set a low, medium or high range of resistance on the
recumbent or upright cycles. Within each setting, 25 levels of
resistance are available, but the chosen setting affects the overall
resistance range.
Physical therapy conditioning is an example where you might use
this programming feature. If a user has an injury that needs low
levels of resistance, you might set the resistance range to low to
make sure that the user does not induce further injury by exceeding
your recommended levels of resistance.
The following table provides short descriptions of each group.
Product Owner's Manual: Club Features 24
Product Owner's Manual: Club Features 25
Table 4. Resistance range settings on cycles
Setting Description
HI or
HIGH
Provides the full range of resistance available. If an upright
cycle user chooses the high-end resistance levels, the
cycle provides enough resistance to simulate sprinting or
hill climbing for users wishing to stand on the upright
cycle. It also provides enough resistance for elite riders
that are capable of spinning at high speed with high
resistance.
MED or
MEDIUM
Provides approximately two thirds of the resistance that is
available within the high group setting. Club owners may
want to select the medium range for recumbent cycles.
Since users cannot stand on recumbent cycles, less
resistance is needed by the average (non-elite) user. A
medium range may provide more comfort. It also allows
users to make easier resistance changes in the preset
programs.
LO or
LOW
Provides approximately one third of the resistance that is
available within the high group setting. The low range may
be appropriate in special situations where poorly
conditioned users are anticipated. The low range is not
recommended for the club environment.

the equipment.
To order parts or to contact a Precor authorized service provider in
your area, refer to Obtaining Service.
Daily Cleaning
Precor recommends the equipment be cleaned before and after
each exercise session. Use mild soap and water to dampen a
clean, soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove
dust and dirt.
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken
the paint or powder coatings and void the Precor Limited
Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the
equipment. Allow the equipment to dry completely before using.
Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the equipment to prevent
the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth
operation of the equipment. Use a soft nylon scrub brush to clean
the running belt on treadmills or the grooves on equipment with
foot pedals.
CAUTION: On treadmills, as you clean the hood or side rails, be
aware of the handrail extensions so you do not inadvertently hit
your head or injure yourself.

body movement to your cross training workout, you are actually
increasing you work effort and enhancing your overall fitness level.
CrossRamp Display
The CrossRamp display on the 532i indicates the muscles that are
being affected as you exercise which may help you increase the
overall effectiveness of your session. Refer to More Information
about the CrossRamp Display.
Heart Rate Features
HEART RATE
SmartRate
Heart rate and SmartRate
®
features are available when you wear
the chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive grips. When a
heartbeat is detected, the HEART RATE display shows your heart
rate and, if your age has been entered, the SmartRate LED blinks
and indicates your target zone.
Important Use and Safety Information
Read the following before using the heart rate or SmartRate
features.
y
y
y
y
Consult your physician before engaging in any vigorous
exercise. Do not use the heart rate programs until authorized by
your physician.
Know your heart rate and your physician-recommended heart
rate target zone. Individual heart rates vary according to several
physiological factors and may not correspond directly with the
following figure.
Always face forward on the equipment and use the stationary
handrail or handlebars for balance.
On self-powered equipment, maintain a comfortable rate of
motion above the minimum requirements. Check with the facility
manager to determine the requirements to maintain power.

The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is:
(220 minus your age) multiplied by a percent.
For example:
Warmup range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 55%
Peak range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 85%
After you put on the chest strap, face the display console for a
minimum of 15 seconds. This allows the receiver in the console
to recognize the signal from the chest strap.
If Hr blinks in the HEART RATE display, it is detecting a signal,
but has not yet determined your heart rate. Make sure the chest
strap is positioned properly around your chest and against your
skin.
If you prefer to use the touch-sensitive grips, grasp both and
wait five to ten seconds. Make sure both hands are moist (not
dry).
When a signal is detected, a number flashes in the
HEART RATE display and indicates your heart rate.
User's Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 7
3.
Wearing a Chest Strap
During a workout, the heart rate features appear on the display
when you wear a chest strap. To receive an accurate reading, the
chest strap needs to be in direct contact with your skin.
1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water Refer to
the following figure.
Note: Do not use deionized water. It does not have the proper
minerals and salts to conduct electrical impulses.
Figure 2: Moisten chest strap
2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest. The strap
should feel snug, not restrictive. Refer to the following figure.
Figure 3: Adjust chest strap
Make sure that the chest strap is right side up, lies horizontally
across your chest, and is centered in the middle of your chest.
Refer to the following figure.
Figure 4: Fasten chest strap
After you put on the chest strap, face the display console for a few
seconds. This allows the receiver in the console to recognize the
signal from the chest strap.
User's Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 8
Using the Touch-Sensitive Grips
While exercising, you must grasp both touch-sensitive grips for a
minimum of five to ten seconds to transmit your heart rate to the
display. Refer to the following figure.
Figure 5: Touch-sensitive grips
Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration
provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver
inside the display console. However, some people, because of
body chemistry or erratic heart beats, cannot use the
touch-sensitive grips. A chest strap may provide better results.
Important: While exercising, do not wear a chest strap and grasp
the touch-sensitive grips at the same time. Using both features may
cause erratic heart rate readings.
User's Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 9
Using SmartRate
The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain your heart
rate in the target zone best suited to your specific needs. When a
heart rate signal is detected, a single LED blinks and indicates the
zone that your heart rate is in.
Important: To use the SmartRate feature, you must enter your age
during program selection. Refer to Selecting a Program.
The following table shows the percents used in calculating the
heart rate target zones. While your heart rate remains within these
zones, the corresponding light blinks and provides a visual cue.
CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your
maximum aerobic heart rate or go above PEAK. If it does,
immediately reduce the intensity of your workout to return your
heart rate to your physician-recommended target zone.

The SmartRate indicator lights do not blink when:
y
y
You do not wear or improperly position the chest strap. Or, you
fail to grasp both touch-sensitive grips for five to ten seconds.
You do not enter your age during an exercise session.
For example, pressing QUICKSTART at the Precor banner
causes the Manual Program to begin. Your age has not been
entered and is considered a null value. Your heart rate will
appear in the HEART RATE display when you hold onto the
touch-sensitive grips or wear a chest strap, but none of the
SmartRate LEDs blink because the appropriate calculations
have not been made.
Note: You can remedy this situation by choosing a program
using one of the PROGRAMS keys and entering your time,
weight, and age.
User's Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 10
Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate
A dedicated window displays your heart rate while you exercise. To
view your heart rate (beats per minute) on the display, either wear a
chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive grips.
The Precor web site (www.precor.com) has several suggestions for
workouts with varying levels of intensity. It provides many workout
details that include the appropriate target heart rate.
The equipment includes one or more heart rate programs that let
you exercise based on a specified target heart rate. As you
exercise, the programs monitor your heart rate and automatically
maintain it within a few beats per minute of your selected target. To
use these programs, press the PROGRAMS – HEART RATE key.
For more information, refer to Programs.
Heart Rate Analysis
Every time you complete a program using the chest strap or
touch-sensitive grips, the display provides a heart rate analysis after
the workout summary. Refer to Ending a Workout.
Your average heart rate appears followed by the maximum heart
rate achieved during your workout. A third display appears, if you
entered your age, and indicates the amount of time your heart rate
remained between the target zones shown.
The heart rate analysis is based on how often your heart rate signal
is received while exercising. If you use the chest strap, the average
heart rate will be more accurate than if you occasionally grasp the
touch-sensitive grips.
User's Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 11
User's Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 12
Troubleshooting Heart Rate
The following table may help you understand and troubleshoot
erratic heart rate readings.
Important: A heart rate can only be detected when the Precor
heart rate receiver is properly installed in the display. A user must
wear the chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive grips.

Be sure that the chest strap is
moist, centered, and in direct
contact with your skin. If you are
using the touch-sensitive grips,
continue to grasp both of them.
Wait a few moments for your
heart rate to appear.
Note: To conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart, both
touch-sensitive grips must be grasped firmly for five to ten seconds.
Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration
provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver in
the display console. However, because of body chemistry or erratic
heartbeats, some people cannot use the touch-sensitive grips. A

CALORIES
TIME ELAPSED—displays time in minutes and seconds and
indicates the amount of time you have been exercising.
When you exceed 60 minutes during a single session, the
display converts to hours and minutes.
Note: The fitness facility can place limits on workout time.
TIME REMAINING—shows the amount of time remaining in
a workout. If the selected time is less than 60 minutes, the
display shows time in minutes and seconds. If you select a
time greater than 60 minutes, the display reflects hours and
minutes until the countdown reaches 60 minutes, at which
time the display reverts to minutes and seconds.
CALORIES—indicates the estimated cumulative number of
calories being burned.
CROSSRAMP
CROSSRAMP—displays the incremental motion affected by
the ramp position. The CROSSRAMP keys affect the lift and
let you set a ramp incline between 1 and 20 on the 532i.
The value displayed can change in whole number
increments.
RESISTANCE
RESISTANCE—displays the resistance you feel against your
stride. The RESISTANCE keys let you set a resistance level
between 1 and 20.
DISTANCE, STRIDES/MIN, TOTAL
STRIDES
DISTANCE—shows the linear distance in either miles or
kilometers.
STRIDES/MIN—displays the number of strides you
complete in a minute up to a maximum value of 510 strides
per minute. A stride is an exaggerated walking movement. If
you start in a position with one foot pedal forward, a stride is
completed when you move the rear foot pedal all the way
forward while the other foot pedal moves to the rear. Two
strides create one complete revolution of the flywheel. So,
the value that appears on the display is always an even
number between 56 and 510. The average and most
effective pace is between 100 and 150 strides per minute.
TOTAL STRIDES—shows the total number of strides
completed, which is always an even number since two
strides create one complete revolution of the flywheel.

Programs
This section describes the programs available on the equipment.
Use this section as a reference tool to better understand each
program’s purpose.
Choosing a Program
Choosing a program depends on your goals. If you are a beginner
or returning to regular exercise, you can start a cardio-conditioning
program to slowly return your body to a comfortable level of
exercise. If you have been exercising and feel that you have an
intermediate or advanced fitness level, you probably have
established goals. The Precor web site (www.precor.com) can give
you many ideas about fitness routines and advice from the experts.
Several of the exercise choices on the equipment are
preprogrammed with recommended settings. However, you have
the option to override the suggested settings, with some
exceptions. If changes are not allowed, a message scrolls across
the display explaining your options.
If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce your level of
intensity by overriding each upcoming segment in the program
profile. When you complete a program that contains a time limit or
goal period, an automatic cool-down period begins.
Program Tips
y
y
y
y
y

Begin at the Precor banner and choose a program by pressing a
PROGRAMS key or QUICKSTART. Refer to Workout Options.
While exercising, you need to sustain your exercise motion.
Stopping any movement causes the equipment to shut down to
conserve battery power.
A blinking column indicates your position as you progress
through a program.
To use the SmartRate feature, you need to specify your age and
wear a chest strap or hold on to the touch-sensitive grips.
In some programs, an unlimited time setting may be an available
option. Refer to Selecting a Program.
The fitness facility can set limits on workout, pause, and
cool-down times and customize other aspects of your exercise
session. Check with your manager to learn if any limits are in
place that might affect your program selections.
User's Reference Manual: Programs 28
Manual Program
The Manual Program profile, available by pressing the MANUAL
key, begins as a flat line. On the 532i, you control the CrossRamp
incline and resistance settings using the CROSSRAMP and
RESISTANCE keys. The 534i has a stationary ramp so you can
only affect the resistance settings using the keys. The program
profile reflects any changes. The blinking column indicates your
position in the program.
A cool-down period occurs automatically when you end your
workout. An exception to the cool-down period exists if the fitness
facility allows it. Refer to Cooling Down After a Workout for more
information.
Note: To use the SmartRate feature, you need to specify your age
by accessing the Manual Program through the PROGRAMS key
and answering the age prompt. If you use QUICKSTART to access
the Manual Program, your age has a zero or null value so the
SmartRate feature is not available.
Interval Program
The Interval Program, available by pressing the INTERVAL key, is
among the best for conditioning your cardiovascular system. The
program raises and lowers your level of exertion repeatedly for the
specified period of time.
The program lets you choose the rest and work intervals according
to your training regimen.
While exercising, you can vary your stride rate and the resistance.
To change the preset resistance settings, use the RESISTANCE
keys. The settings are repeated throughout the remainder of the
program. The display lets you know when the resistance is about to
change and it indicates the levels of the next interval.
User's Reference Manual: Programs 29
Gluteal Program
The Gluteal Program, available by pressing the VARIETY key, is
designed to exercise the gluteal muscles. On the 532i, the ramp
incline is preprogrammed. Review the profile to determine the
ascent and descent levels of each program. Any changes to the
ramp incline affects the program’s profile. On the 534i, the ramp is
stationary, so changes to the resistance levels affect the profile.
Heart Rate Program
The Basic HRC Program, available by pressing the HEART RATE
key, lets you set a target for your heart rate. The program adjusts
the resistance to maintain your heart rate within two beats per
minute of the target heart rate while you exercise. To use this
program, you must enter your age and wear a chest strap so your
heart rate can be monitored throughout the session.
Important: Consult your physician to determine the appropriate
target heart rate for your age and fitness level. If your physician
recommends a different target heart rate than the one that appears
on the display, use the navigational arrow keys to change the
target heart rate once you finish the warm-up period. Do not
exercise over the recommended range.
Heart Rate Program Tips
The Basic HRC Program enhances your overall cardiovascular
fitness levels to help you achieve your weight loss and fitness
goals. Read through the following tips before selecting the Basic
HRC Program. These tips provide general information regarding
how the program functions. For more information and exercise
suggestions, refer to the Precor web site at www.precor.com.
Important: Maintain a rate of motion above the minimum
requirements. Refer to Self-Powered Features. Automatic
adjustments to the resistance cannot take place if you drop below
the minimum requirements for operation.
y
y
The program provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this
time, you may change the resistance or CrossRamp settings
(532i only).
Note: When your target heart rate is achieved or the 3-minute
period elapses, the warm-up period ends and the program
begins.
The program automatically adjusts the resistance to keep your
heart rate at the selected target. After the warm-up period,
pressing the RESISTANCE keys no longer affects the
resistance levels. Check the SmartRate display to see if you are
maintaining your preferred zone. Check the HEART RATE
display to determine your actual heart rate. For information
about understanding your target heart rate, refer to Heart Rate
Features.
User's Reference Manual: Programs 30
y
y
y
You can change the target heart rate, but doing so affects how
well your target heart rate remains in the preferred zone. It takes
time to readjust the resistance so that your heart rate remains on
target.
If you wish to quit the Basic HRC Program, you can make a
mid-session transfer to another program, but you cannot return
or transfer mid-session to the Basic HRC Program.
A cool down period is automatically added to the end of the
program.
If you are having difficulty with the heart rate features, talk to your
fitness facility manager.
Weight Loss Program
The Weight Loss Program, available by pressing the WEIGHT
LOSS key, provides a program targeted at lowering body fat while
improving muscle tone and conditioning.
The workout time is fixed at 28 minutes and consists of seven
4-minute intervals. You are not prompted for a workout time.
Use the RESISTANCE keys to change the resistance for the rest or
work intervals. When you make changes, the program repeats the
settings for the remaining intervals. On the 532i, you can use the
CROSSRAMP keys to change the ramp incline.
The display lets you know when the resistance levels are about to
change.
Note: You cannot transfer mid-session to the Weight Loss
Program.
User's Reference Manual: Programs 31

When you change the CrossRamp on the 532i, the profile changes
accordingly by raising or lowering the height of the columns. On
the 534i, the height of the column is affected by the RESISTANCE
keys.
The Cross Training Program, available by pressing the
PERFORMANCE key, has preprogrammed CrossRamp (532i) or
resistance (534i) levels. The programs consist of an alternating
profile that focuses on working the thigh and calf muscle groups.
On the 532i, you can change the ramp incline and resistance
levels. On the 534i, you can change the resistance. The program
remembers your settings and repeats them in the subsequent
column segments.
Cross Training Program
For the ideal weight loss range, your heart rate should remain
between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. If you
wear a chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive grips, you can use
SmartRate as a visual cue.
During the work intervals, increase your level of exertion so that
the LEDs in the CARDIO target zone blink.
For more information about the SmartRate display, refer to Using
SmartRate.
Maintain a level of exertion so that the SmartRate LEDs in the
FATBURN target zone blink in the display during the rest
intervals.
Set a comfortable stride rate and then adjust the settings.
