Thank you for purchasing your Precor EFX Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer. The EFX5.21si features a
zero impact, elliptical-shaped stride that lets you target specific lower-body muscles to achieve
better muscle tone and overall cardiovascular conditioning. The EFX is designed to use the
optional
Precor Heart Rate Interactive System featuring Smart Rate
TM
.
The EFX offers an easy-to-understand display console that gives motivating feedback about your
workout and incorporates the latest in cardiac monitoring to provide Smart Rate
TM
— a visual aid
that lets you know where your heart rate is at a glance. When the Precor Heart Rate Option
receiver
is installed and you wear the POLAR
®
chest strap
, the colored cells on the display light up
to indicate your target zone. You’ll be able to maintain your ideal zone (weight loss or cardiovascu-
lar) by keeping the
blinking
cell within the target zone.
With Smart Rate
TM
, you can “
see
” your pulse in any course: Manual (MANL), CrossTrainer (XTR),
Gluteals (GLT), Interval (INTV), Weight Loss (WTLS), Random (RAND) and Custom (CST1 & CST2).
These courses provide variety to help motivate you during your workout. In addition, the Heart Rate
Control Course (HRC) monitors your heart rate within a target zone (usually 55% to 85% of your
maximum heart rate) and automatically changes the resistance to keep your heart rate in that zone.
The EFX is designed for household use only and is unique in its crosstraining features. To
maximize your use of the EFX, please study this guide thoroughly.
Unpacking the EFX
The EFX is carefully tested and inspected before shipment. Precor ships the unit in three pieces:
• base assembly
• handrail assembly (includes the display console)
• owner’s manual, limited warranty card, and parts — shown in Diagram 1
Allen wrench, power cord, and tie wrap.
Diagram 1
Carefully unpack the pieces of the EFX and lay them on the floor near the location where you plan
to use it.
Important: If you plan to move the EFX, do so
before
you install the handrails. Ask for assistance to
move the unit. Once the handrails are in place, the unit is wide enough that moving it down a
hallway or through a door frame (without scratching it) is very difficult.
After unpacking the EFX, pull out the plastic sack containing the items in Diagram 1. You will need
these items to complete the assembly of the EFX. If any items are missing, contact the dealer from
whom you purchased the EFX or call 1-800-4-PRECOR for the dealer nearest you.
CAUTION: This unit weighs over 160 pounds
(72 kilograms). To avoid injury and to ensure
the safety of the unit and yourself, get
adequate assistance before unpacking your
EFX. Slide the base assembly out of the box.
