Need to replace the AC Power Adaptor for my Precor Elliptical 5.17i. Would ANY 12VDC 120VAC work? Where can I purchase? Thank you for your help.

You would need to check the amperage as well.

My Precor966i was in storage for about 6 months

It's most likely that you have some damaged wiring. Make sure that where the urights connect to the console and the base frame that there are no pinched wires. You would want to measure the motor voltage in AC, but that's definitely not the problem anyway. If the wiring is not pinched or broken then it could be that your motor controller needs to be replaced. This is not unheard of when a machine is left sitting after it's been moved.

The incline on our Precor c964i is stuck in a high position (approx. 10% incline). Other than being on a high incline, the treadmill seems to be working fine.

Hi There, Precor uses a pair of Triacs to drive the lift up and down. These triacs live on the lower board but are driven by the upper console commands via a serial link between the upper and lower. Most precor lift issues we see are related to the lower board but with Precor it could be an upper board or the CPU Chip that resides on the lower board or a failed Triac. Good Luck

Grandchild lost my safety switch for Precor treadmill , manufacturer no longer carries this model. Any work around available?

Hi Emily, The safety switch... If that's the plastic part with the steel plate inside it that attaches to the console and when you remove it the treadmill won't operate then try cutting the top off a can and using that until you find the safety switch...Good Luck.....CHEERS..

EFX 5.25. Erro code 30. I had mice chew up the wiring between the two circuit boards. I have replaced the lower board and the wiring harness. Still shows error code 30

Precor Error 30, 31, 32 and 33, Communications Error Probable Cause 1. Bad interconnect cable between upper PCA and lower PCA. 2. Interconnect cable is mistakenly plugged into the CSAFE connector at the upper PCA. 3. Elliptical 5.17 equipped with old software version 1.01 in upper and lower PCA. 4. Upper and lower PCAs have mismatched software. 5. Another component plugged onto the PCA is overloading the +5VDC power supply. 6. Bad lower PCA. 7. Bad upper PCA. Corrective Action
  1. Test unit with a know good interconnect cable or test the interconnect cable for continuity. Replace interconnect cable if necessary.
  2. Disconnect the interconnect cable from the CSAFE connector and attach to the proper position on the upper PCA.3.
  3. Replace the upper and lower software of the 5.17 elliptical with the most current versions.4.
  4. If one of the PCAs is found to have software version 1.01, replace it with the most current software version.
  5. Disconnect all components from the upper and lower PCA leaving the data cable connecting between the upper and lower PCAs and the AC power going to the lower PCA. If the unit shows any error other than the error 3x, reconnect components one at a time. Reset power between each newly connected component until the error 3x reappears. Whichever component was last connected when the error 3x reappears, is the cause for the error. Replace the faulty component.
  6. Test unit with a known good lower PCA. Replace the lower PCA if necessary.
  7. Test unit with a known good upper PCA. Replace the upper PCA if necessary.
Precor Error Code 30 31 32 33

When push quick start button, why does it display Erro 30 and doesn't run?

Hi There....This is a great message for ALL PRECOR 956/966 owners. This failure usually relates to a "communications" error between the upper and lower electronics. This particular failure is a direct result of a failed IFT drive module, or the lower drive "box" that is made by Advanced Drive Technology. The brains of this lower controller has failed and cannot "talk" to the upper board anymore due to several failed parts inside this box. You are lucky to have this failure arise over a fatal blow-out. Now replacements thru Precor or a distributor will be $550+ and are usually low stock items at places, but you can get repairs and exchanges of this Precor IFT drive by emailing gregATbuyfitnessrepairpartsDOTcom for much less than all other vendors. Currently these IFT drives are 380 exchange and 199 repair and turnaround is one day. Good Luck!

I moved treadmill to another location and all lights up but when I click start it counts down 3, 2, 1 and then nothing. The tread does not start. Any thoughts on what might be wrong?

Hi There, usually when we move fitness equipment we tend to pull cables loose a bit here or there. Please recheck your connections and if you have troubles you can always email gregATbuyfitnessrepairpartsDOTcom for more help. Good Luck!!

You may have to purchase the belt from a Precor dealer in you area, if you don't have one then call Precor directly @ 1-800-347-4404 and they will help you. Most of these part have not hit the secondary market yet and Precor pretty much call the shots.
