Assembling and Maintaining AMT 800-Series Adaptive Motion Trainers 

 

 

Breaking In the Equipment 

Precor equipment does not require an actual break-in period. 

However, moving components such as belts, gears, and 

bearings can settle while the equipment is being stored or 

shipped. This can cause the equipment to operate with a 

small amount of roughness or noise when it starts up for the 

first time. 
The equipment usually returns to smooth operation after a 

day or two of normal use. If it does not, contact your dealer 

for assistance. For more information, refer to
