PRECOR TRM 761 Treadmill

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE TASKS

The safety and integrity designed into the machine can only be maintained when the treadmill is regularly examined for damage and repaired. It is the sole responsibility of the user/owner or facility operator to ensure that regular maintenance is performed. Work or damaged components shall be replaced immediately or the treadmill removed from service until the repair is made. Only manufacturer-supplied or approved components shall be used to maintain and repair the treadmill.

IMPORTANT The owner is responsible for maintaining Precor equipment in their facility based on the recommendations below and any accompanying material.

Before You Begin

Unplug the power cords from any equipment or entertainment devices plugged into a wall outlet. For treadmill- Turn off the circuit breaker.
Verify all equipment feet sit squarely on the floor, and adjust if necessary to ensure the equipment does not wobble.
Verify that the power cords are not damaged or pinched.
Plug in the equipment, turn it on, and verify the following features are performing properly:
- Hand held Heart Rate (HHHR)
- Incline, Speed, and Resistance controls

Cleaning Procedure

Use a lint-free cloth dampened with water or an approved cleaner in the procedures below:

Clean the floor under the equipment. DO NOT lift and hold equipment while cleaning. When the floor is completely dry, restore power and return equipment to its level position.
Clean all surfaces of the frame and plastic components. Keep excess moisture away from electronic components to prevent electrical shock or damage, and dry completely.
Clean the handrails and the bottle holder/accessory tray.
Clean grooves and textured surfaces with soft nylon scrub brush on foot contact locations.
On LCD- or PVS-equipped equipment, clean the screen using only a diluted solution of one part 91% isopropyl alcohol to one part water on a damped, lint-free cloth. Dry completely.
For elliptical and treadmill only Clean debris from all wheels (for treadmill and elliptical) and CrossRamp® (for elliptical). Dry completely.

Elliptical Only

Elevate the equipment to its maximum incline. Clean the ramp (no disassembly required). Debris build-up will shorten the life of the product.
If the wheels on your EFX squeak, thoroughly clean the wheel track. Apply a thin coating of mineral oil to the wheel track and wipe off excess oil with a dry, lint-free cloth.
CAUTION Using too much oil will cause dirt and debris to accumulate and potentially damage the ramp surface.

VERIFY HEART RATE DISPLAY WORKS

Begin exercising on the equipment and grasp both touch sensitive handlebars. The heart icon flashes while the heart rate is read. You must maintain contact with both metal plates on each handlebar to ensure an accurate reading.
Within ten seconds, your heart rate number appears in the HEART RATE display. If a number does not appear, perform the following checks:
- Verify that the HR cable is properly connected.
- Repeat the test with a different person. In rare instances, it may not work properly for a few individuals.
- Repeat this test using a chest strap or a wireless pulse simulator. You’ll get better results than if you only grasp the touch-sensitive handlebars. DO NOT hold onto the handlebars during the reading or you’ll override those results.

MOVING EQUIPMENT
The equipment is very heavy. If you plan to move it to a new location, obtain the help of an adult assistant and use proper lifting techniques. If the equipment includes roller wheels on one end, use the wheels to reduce the load on yourself and your assistant.

To Move The Elliptical (EFX):
Precor recommends using a four-wheeled dolly to move the EFX.
To Move The AMT:

Disconnect, unplug, and remove all external connections (television, Ethernet, and power).
Lift the rear platform molding to remove it.
Lift the rear foot supports to tip the AMT forward onto its roller wheels.
Push the AMT into its new location.
Lower the rear foot supports to the floor, then reattach the rear platform molding.

To Move The Treadmill:
A treadmill in an inclined position is easier to move.
IMPORTANT The plastic end caps on Precor treadmills are designed specifically for lifting. Working with your assistant, place a hand under each side of the end cap. Then, using proper lifting techniques, lift the rear of the treadmill so that it rolls on its front wheels.

To Put The Treadmill Into An Inclined Position For Moving:

Press GO on the console.
Increase the incline to Level 4 or more.
While the treadmill is running, turn the main power switch to OFF.
Disconnect the treadmill’s power cord.

ALIGN TREADMILL RUNNING BELT

IMPORTANT Failure to align the belt may cause the belt to tear or fray, which is not covered by the Precor Limited Warranty.

Proper alignment allows the belt to remain centered and ensures smooth operation. Realigning the belt takes a few simple adjustments. If you are unsure about this procedure, contact Precor

Customer Support.
CAUTION DO NOT adjust the running belt when someone is standing on it.

To Check The Alignment Of The Running Belt:

Make sure that the running surface is as level as possible. If necessary, adjust the rear feet to level the treadmill.
NOTE Adjusting the rear feet cannot compensate for extremely uneven surfaces. If you cannot make the running surface level and stable, move the treadmill.
Turn the treadmill on.
Stand beside the treadmill (not on it), and press GO or Quick Start on the console.
If necessary, enter the safety code by pressing the number keys in sequence. The running belt starts automatically after a 3-second countdown appears on the console.
Press SPEED UP until the console shows a speed of 3 mph (5 kph).
Observe the belt from the rear of the treadmill for a few minutes. The belt should remain centered along the running bed. If it drifts off center, you need to adjustment it.
CAUTION If you hear any rubbing or the running belt appears damaged, press the red STOP button immediately and contact Precor Customer Support.
Press STOP to stop the belt and turn the treadmill off.

ADJUST TREADMILL RUNNING BELT
If you are unsure about adjusting the running belt, contact Precor Customer Support

CAUTION Take special care when aligning the running belt. The treadmill will not stop immediately if an object becomes caught in the belt or rollers. Turn OFF the treadmill while adjusting or working near the rear roller. DO NOT wear loose clothing or allow your hair to hang loose during this procedure. DO NOT adjust the running belt when someone is standing on it. Keep your fingers and any other object clear of the belt and rollers, especially in front of the roller and behind the deck.
CAUTION Make all belt adjustments on the adjusting bolts at the rear corners of the treadmill using the hex key provided, and DO NOT turn either bolt more than ¼ turn before checking the alignment of the running belt again. Over-tightening the adjusting bolts can damage the treadmill.

To Adjust The Running Belt:

Locate the adjusting bolt in the right side end cap at the rear corner of the treadmill.
Use the hex key to tighten the adjusting bolt in the direction that the belt is shifting. Turn the bolt ¼ turn clockwise.
If the belt…| Then…
---|---
Drifts right| Turn the right-side adjusting bolt 1/4 clockwise. Clockwise moves left

and stops drifting right.

Drift left| Turn the right-side adjusting bolt 1/8 or less counterclockwise.

Counterclockwise moves right and stops drifting left.

Recheck the belt position as described in Check the alignment of the running belt.
NOTE If the belt slips after you have adjusted it, tighten the adjusting bolt evenly, ¼ turn at a time, until the slipping stops. DO NOT over-tighten the belt.

CLEAN TREADMILL RUNNING BELT AND DECK

Before you begin the cleaning procedure, check that the safety stop key works correctly.
CAUTION DO NOT stand or allow others to stand on the treadmill running belt during this procedure.

To Make Sure The Safety Stop Key Works:

Stand to one side of the treadmill.
Make sure that the stop key lanyard is hanging straight down and is not wrapped around the handle bars.
Press QuickStart and wait for the running belt to begin moving.
Press the safety stop key.
The running belt should stop immediately. When it stops, reset the safety stop key.
CAUTION If the running belt does not stop, turn off the treadmill power using the On/Off switch at the front of the treadmill and unplug the power cord. The treadmill must remain out of service until the stop switch is repaired. Place an “out of order” sign on the treadmill and contact Precor Support.

Turn the treadmill power switch to Off. The On/Off switch is located at the front of the treadmill.

To Clean The Treadmill Belt And Deck:
