ATTENTION : Haute Tension Débranchez avant de réparer

Electrical Recommendations: 120 V and 240 V Treadmills

Note: This is a recommendation only. NEC (National Electric Code) guidelines or local region electric codes must be followed.

You should have received a power cable that meets your local electrical code requirements along with the equipment. Precor treadmills must be connected to a 20 amp individual branch circuit that can be shared only with one PVS. If you need additional help with the power connections contact your Precor authorized dealer.

Important: An individual branch circuit provides a hot conductor and neutral conductor to a receptacle. The conductors must not be looped, “daisy-chained”, or connected to any other conductors. The circuit must be grounded according to NEC guidelines or local region electric codes.

Figure 1: NEMA 5 and NEMA 6 plugs

Important Safety Instructions 5

Electrical Recommendations: All Equipment Excluding Treadmills

Note: This is a recommendation only. NEC (National Electric Code) guidelines or local region electric codes must be followed.

For equipment fitted with a P80 console or Personal Viewing System (PVS) screen a separate power connection is required. For a 20 amp branch circuit up to 10 screens can be connected. If the branch circuit has any other devices plugged into the circuit, then the number of screens must be reduced by the wattage of the other devices.

Chapter 3

Maintenance To keep the equipment functioning properly, perform the minor maintenance tasks in this section at the intervals suggested. Failure to maintain the equipment as described in this section could void the Precor Limited Warranty.

DANGER To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always disconnect the equipment from its power source before cleaning it or performing any maintenance tasks. If the equipment uses an optional power adapter, disconnect the adapter.

Cleaning the PVS Screen Precor recommends that you clean the PVS at least one time per day.

To remove dust and dirt from the PVS: Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with isopropyl

alcohol solution to remove dust, dirt, and fingerprints from the screen surface. The alcohol solution may range in strength from a 1:1 solution (total concentration between 45% and 50%) to a typical full-strength solution (normally 91% to 99%). You may also use commercially available isopropyl alcohol solutions within this range, or flat-screen cleaning wipes moistened with isopropyl alcohol.


Wipe all other exposed surfaces with a soft cloth that you have moistened with a mixture of mild soap and water. Precor recommends a solution of 30 parts of water to 1 part of Simple Green® (for more information, visit www.simplegreen.com). Important: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken paint, powder coatings, and other surface finishes and will void the Precor Limited Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids directly onto the screen. Avoid using any corrosive chemicals on the console or screen. To prevent drips from seeping into the screen or console enclosure, never spray cleaning liquid directly onto the screen or connectors. Apply cleaners with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using gritty cloths.
