Section Four - Checking EFX 546 Operation

This section provides you with a quick method of checking EFX operation. Check the operation
of the EFX at the end of most maintenance procedures.

Procedure

Plug the power cord into the wall outlet and set the on/off switch in the “on” position.

When the

PRECOR EFX 546......WORK OUT SMARTER

banner scrolling, press

QUICK

START

If the ramp is not currently at the mid-point, the ramp will automatically move to the mid-
point.

Select Resistance Level 1 and press

ENTER

Operate the EFX for 4–5 minutes. As you operate the EFX, concentrate on the operating
sounds made by the unit. Be on the alert for unusual rubbing, hitting, grinding, or squeaking
noises.

If the EFX makes unusual noises or the electronic display does not change appropriately,
troubleshoot per Section 6.

Press the

RESISTANCE

▲

key until you reach Resistance Level 10. Operate the EFX for

another 2–3 minutes.

If the EFX resistance does not change or the operation of the EFX feels inconsistent
compared with Resistance Level 1, troubleshoot per Section 6.

Press the

RESISTANCE

▲

key until you reach Resistance Level 20. Operate the EFX for

another 2–3 minutes.

10. If the resistance of the EFX 546 does not change or the EFX operation feels inconsistent

with Resistance Levels 1 and 10, troubleshoot per Procedure 6.6.

11. Check the LED’s mounted on the upper PCA and the function keys displayed on the

electronic console by performing Procedure 3.2.

12. Press the

CROSSRAMP

▲

key while viewing the electronic console. Confirm that the foot

pads incline and the ramp display increments to 20 as the

CROSSRAMP

▲

key is pressed.

13. Press the

CROSSRAMP

▼

key while viewing the electronic console. Confirm that the foot

pads return to a level position and the ramp display decrements to 1 as the

CROSSRAMP

▼

key is pressed.
