Maintaining the EFX
CAUTION: Turn OFF the EFX and disconnect
the power cord before performing any
maintenance tasks.
The EFX requires little maintenance to keep it running smoothly and efficiently. However, the
customer is responsible for the typical maintenance tasks such as, cleaning the unit. If you fail to
maintain the EFX as described below, it could affect or void the Precor limited warranty.
Cleaning the Equipment
Your Precor EFX relies on low friction for efficient operation. To keep the friction low, the unit must
be as clean as possible. Before a workout, use a damp, soft, clean cloth and wipe along the inside
portion of the ramps. This helps remove any dirt or dust that might affect the smooth operation of
the ramp rollers. Vacuum the floor around and underneath the unit every week to prevent the
accumulation of dust and dirt.
To periodically clean the frame, display console, and foot pedals use a solution of mild soap and
water and dampen a clean cloth. To clean the grooves on the foot pedals, use a soft nylon scrub
brush. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the EFX. Allow the unit to dry completely
before using it.
The Precor Heart Rate Option requires little maintenance beyond keeping it dust free and cleaning the
chest strap with mild soap and water. Use a damp sponge or soft cloth to clean the POLAR
®
chest
strap. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel. Do not use an abrasive cleaner on the strap.
Storing the Chest Strap
Store the chest strap transmitter in a place where dust and dirt cannot accumulate on it such as, a
closet or drawer. Be sure to keep the chest strap protected from extremes in temperature. Do not
store it in an area that may be exposed to temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Accessing the Odometer and Software Version Numbers
The EFX stores cumulative strides and also provides the software version code and part number. If
you need to access this information, take the following steps:
1. Start at the banner “PRECOR EFX5.21Si..., Workout Smarter” and press the Pause key. Then,
within 1 second initiate the following key sequence: Resistance and Quick Start.
Note: Each key press must occur within 4 seconds of the previous key press or the software
returns to the Precor banner and you have to begin again.
2. The cumulative number of strides completed to date scrolls across the display. Press any key
and the software version code number and part number appears. Press another key to return
to the scrolling banner.
Power Cord Maintenance
When the EFX is in use, ensure that the power supply cord is away from moving parts so that it
cannot be damaged. If the EFX power supply cord is damaged, special tools are required to repair
it. Contact an authorized Precor servicer or dealer at 1-800-4-PRECOR for qualified repair
assistance and service.
