3. Assembly and Setup

The Precor 9.35 Treadmill requires assembly. While the main belt housing comes pre-assembled, some components like the uprights, crossbar, and display console need to be attached. A Phillips head screwdriver and included Allen wrenches are the only tools required.

It is recommended to have a second person assist with assembly, especially when attaching the display console and moving the unit due to its weight (335 lbs). Consider professional installation for convenience and to ensure proper setup.

3.1 Unpacking and Placement

Due to the treadmill's size and weight, carefully plan its placement before unpacking. Ensure sufficient space around the unit for safe operation and maintenance. The product dimensions are 79"D x 34"W x 56"H.

3.2 Assembly Steps

1. Position the main belt housing in its desired location.
2. Attach the uprights one at a time using the provided Allen wrench.
3. Place the arm rest/crossbar piece on top of the uprights and tighten with the Allen wrench.
4. Plug in the display console, set it on top of the crossbar, and tighten with the Allen wrench.
5. Screw on the water bottle holders using the Phillips head screwdriver.

Refer to the detailed assembly instructions provided in the separate owner's manual for visual guides and specific torque requirements.

4. Key Features and Technology

4.1 Ground Effects Impact Control (GEIC)

This patented system features shock absorbers at the front of the deck to cushion impact, reducing stress on joints. A pivot point at the back supports a full range of motion and provides a solid surface for an easy push-off, minimizing fatigue.

4.2 Integrated Footplant Technology (IFT)

IFT continuously registers your foot speed up to 710 times per second, making minute adjustments to the belt speed. This technology perfectly simulates moving over a stationary surface, matching the natural movements of your stride and reducing joint and shoe discomfort common with other treadmills.

4.3 Wide Running Surface and Reversible Deck

The treadmill features a premium belt with a wider surface (56 inches long x 22 inches wide) for ample room to move. The deck is reversible, effectively doubling its lifespan.

5. Operating Instructions
