Thank you for purchasing the Precor M9.55 Low Impact Treadmill. Precor has incorporated
an innovative design and some of the most popular features in the health and fitness
industry into the M9.55.
Ground Effects allows the treadmill’s running bed to absorb and cushion the shock of
walking or running by utilizing specially formulated elastomeric springs. Integrated
Footplant Technology (IFT) replicates the natural walking and running motion of your
feet which helps reduce shock and pounding to your body.
The M9.55 offers an easy-to-understand display console that provides motivating
feedback about your workout. The ultra-sensitive keypad lets you select data and
control your workout session. Precor Smart Rate
® — a visual aid that lets you, the user,
see your heart rate with a glance, provides the latest in cardiac monitoring. Note that for
the heart rate features to appear, a POLAR
® chest strap must be worn.
The M9.55 Low Impact Treadmill is for household use only. It has many unique features
which set it apart from conventional treadmills. To maximize your use of the treadmill,
