Personal Safety
• Check the EFX before each use. Completely assemble the unit before using it.
• Assemble and operate the EFX on a solid, level surface. Locate the rear of the unit at least
2 feet from walls or furniture to provide access to the ON/OFF (I/0) switch.
• A locking pin, inserted through the ramp and roller arm at the factory, provides an added
security feature. This locking mechanism must be removed prior to working out. See
Working
Out on the EFX
.
• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your workout—no loose clothing.
• Use care when getting on or off the EFX. Use the handrails whenever possible. Never step off
the unit while the foot pedals or ramp are still moving.
• Keep your body and head facing forward. Never attempt to turn around on the EFX.
• Do not rock the unit. Do not stand or climb on the handrails, electronic console, or front or
rear casing.
• Keep all electrical components, such as the power cord and ON/OFF (I/0) switch, away from
water or other liquids to prevent shock. Do not set anything on the handrails, electronic
console, or rear casing. Never place liquids on any part of the unit.
• Do not attempt to service the EFX yourself other than the assembly and maintenance instructions
found in this manual. The EFX is for household use only. See
Obtaining Service
on page 24.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion.
• Stop your workout immediately if you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms, and consult your
physician.
Precor Heart Rate Option—Safety Guidelines
The Precor Heart Rate Option was created and designed exclusively for Precor products. Before
using the option, read and follow the instructions found in the owner’s manual that accompanies
your option kit or chest strap transmitter.
The equipment is extremely sensitive — you should use the heart rate option with this in mind and
take the time to read the following:
• Handle the Precor Heart Rate Option with care. Do not drop the equipment. It might damage
the transmitter and you could void the manufacturer’s limited warranty.
• Do not place the chest strap near strong electromagnetic radiation sources. Television sets,
electric motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can affect the transmitter’s performance
and interfere with the heart rate signal that is being transmitted to the receiver which might
affect the heart rate readings that appear on the electronic console.
• Use only one chest strap at a time inside the range of the receiver. If the receiver tries to
process several signals simultaneously, an incorrect heart rate reading could result. Be sure to
keep any other transmitters at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) away from the receiver on your unit.
• Keep the equipment dry. Although the chest strap should not be immersed in water, wetting
the electrodes and your chest will improve the initial performance. Note that perspiration on
the chest strap during workouts is normal and actually enhances the signal being sent from
the chest strap’s transmitter.
Note: An electrolyte spray does accompany your option package. Prior to putting the chest
strap on, lightly spray each electrode on the chest strap to help enhance its conductivity.
