I got my precor treadmill off of Craigslist a while back and it is a refurbished model from a gym. The model is C954 and has been around awhile. Love it though as it is a very solid product and does the basics very well.

The Max time is 60 minutes, but the message seems to indicate that it was configured to this for the previous gym where it was used. I want to be able to run more then 60 minutes on it without stopping and starting a new program.

Does anyone know how to change this setting? I do not think it is an easy user setting because the idea is that the gym wants to enforce a Max time on the gym members. Might be a way to get into a different "hidden" setup mode for the machine.

These next few pages provide information that lets you customize the treadmill for

your Club. It is not information that your customer needs or, necessarily, should

see. This section covers the following information about how to:

• determine which language appears on the display

• set maximum speed, workout, and pause times

• design custom courses

• display the odometer and other useful information

• connect to CSAFE compatible devices

Note: If your customers are interested in the learning more about the C956 or C954

treadmill, you may wish to direct them to the manual available on Precor’s web site

(www.precor.com). (The manual that appears on the web site does not contain the

information found in this section.)

Club Information

CHANGING THE CLUB SETTINGS

The Club “custom” settings are accessed through specific codes that help eliminate

unauthorized access. Refer to Diagram 20 to locate the keys. Information that

you can access and features that can be customized are as follows:

• Language — Choose to display English, German, Spanish or French.

• Units of Measure — Select between U.S. Standard and Metric displays.

• Maximum Speed — Determines the maximum speed that a user can select.

Selections range between 0.5 to 12 mph (1 - 20 kph).

• Maximum Workout Time — Sets a maximum limit on workout time.

Note: Remember that the user will get up to 5 minutes additional cool down time

appended to a completed course. (Refer to Custom Cool Down.) So, adjust the

maximum time limit accordingly.

• Maximum Pause Time — Sets the maximum duration in which a person

can “pause” his or her workout.

• Cool Down Time — Sets the duration in which a person can “cool down”

during his or her workout.

a specific user or general club purpose.

Any of that help? I found it in the user manual online.

Thanks, good information. No time to read the online manual now, but will when I return home tonight. Too bad I did not think to do this when I first bought it refurbished!
