As simple as using the M9.21i or M9.21si Low Impact Treadmill might seem, you should read this
section so that you can use the treadmill safely and effectively. This section of the owner’s manual
provides the basic information you need for exercising on your treadmill, including the following:
•
locating the ON and OFF switch
•
using the magnetic safety key
•
reviewing features on the electronic console
•
customizing the display (changing to U.S. standard or Metric,
displaying Smart Rate, and selecting the TIME or DISTANCE prompt
Note: Instructions explaining how to use the Precor Heart Rate Option and information regarding
the Heart Rate Course appear in the next section:
Using the Precor Heart Rate Option.
Locating the ON and OFF Switch
Use the ON/OFF (I/O) power switch to turn the treadmill ON “I” or OFF “O”. This switch is located at
the front of the treadmill, near the power cord.
Note: The running belt will not move until the magnetic safety key is inserted into the electronic
console. Refer to the instructions below for more information about the safety key.
Using the Magnetic Safety Key
The magnetic safety key lets you stop the treadmill’s running belt. Use this key in an emergency or
when finished exercising. Pulling the key out of the console compartment has the same effect as
pressing STOP. To prevent unauthorized use of the treadmill, store the safety key in a safe place.
Using the Low Impact Treadmill
CAUTION: Before each workout, always attach
the magnetic safety key’s clip to your clothing
at your waistline.

Before you can begin a workout, the magnetic safety key must be inserted into the electronic
console as shown in Diagram 9. The treadmill’s running belt will not move until the safety key is
inserted and secure inside the electronic console.
Important: Do not force the safety key into position, it should slide easily into place within the
electronic console compartment. Applying too much pressure to the connection could break a
safety key component and void the Precor limited warranty.
