The Club Setting Program also enables you to limit workout time on the cycle so more people can use it. Instructions on how to use the program are found in this section. Installation Requirements Follow the installation requirements below when installing the cycle. If you do not install the cycle according to the following guidelines, you could void the Precor warranty. • Set up the EC860 cycle on a solid, flat surface. • Use the appropriate voltage outlet and grounding as specified on the cycle. The EC860 cycle is available in both 120-volt and 220-volt models. Refer to the cycle’s identification label to determine the voltage and frequency that your cycle needs. CAUTION: Do not use a non-grounded outlet. Electrical damage might occur if the EC860 cycle is connected to an improper power source. page 5 Using the Club Setting Program The Club Setting Program lets you customize your cycle with the following features: • Language—The words displayed on the electronic console can appear in one of the three languages (French, German, or English). Typically, on the cycle you buy, the language is preset to English. • Workout time—You can set a workout time limit between 2 and 60 minutes. For example, if a club owner sets the maximum workout time to 20 minutes, the cycle would allow users to specify a workout time from 2 to 20 minutes. Users could not specify a workout time longer than 20 minutes. When you buy the cycle, it is set to the maximum workout time of 60 minutes. • Measurement system—You can choose between U.S. Standard or Metric. Typically, the cycle you buy is set to U.S. Standard.
