Before You Begin
Thank you for purchasing the Precor M9.41si Low Impact Treadmill. The M9.41si features several
sophisticated and beneficial technologies: Ground Effects, Integrated Footplant Technology, Smart
Rate, and Heart Rate Interactive System.
Ground Effects allows the treadmill’s running bed to "float” on specially formulated elastomeric
springs which cushion impact and control lateral motion without diminishing the bed's lively,
responsive feel. Because it’s fully suspended, the bed provides optimum shock absorption
anywhere your feet land, not just in the center of the running area,
integrated Footplant Technology (IFT) is a microprocessor-regulated motor control system. This
patented technology collects motor and belt speed data, using it to deliver a smooth comfortable
feel. It replicates the natural walking and running motion of your feet, by allowing slight, natural
speed variations throughout your stride.
The Heart Rate Interactive System offers an easy-to-understand electronic console that gives
motivating feedback about your workout. The display incorporates the latest in cardiac monitoring
to provide Smart Rate ™ — a visual aid that lets the user know where his or her heart rate is at a
glance. When the optional receiver is installed and the Precor Heart Rate Option chest strap is
worn, the graph on the display lights up with colored cells to indicate exercise intensity. A specific
percent of the user’s heart rate appears as a blinking cell within the zone,
The M9 41 si Low Impact Treadmill is intended for household use and has many unique features
which sets it apart from conventional treadmills. To maximize your use of the M9.41si, please
