Maintaining the EFX
CAUTION: Turn OFF the EFX and
disconnect the power cord from the
wall outlet and the power conversion

ing any maintenance tasks.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive cleaner
on the strap. Do not immerse any part
of the chest strap. Do not spray or pour
liquids on any part of the equipment.
The EFX5.17 Elliptical Fitness CrossTrainer requires little maintenance to keep it running
smoothly and efficiently. However, the customer is responsible for the typical maintenance
tasks such as, cleaning the EFX to keep it free from dust and dirt accumulation. If you
fail to maintain the EFX as described below, it could affect or void the limited warranty.
Cleaning the Equipment
Your Precor EFX relies on low friction for efficient operation. To keep the friction low, the
EFX 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 to remove any dirt or dust that
might affect the smooth operation of the ramp rollers. Vacuum the floor underneath the
unit every week to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.
Periodically wipe the frame, display console, and foot pedals, with a dampened (not
dripping wet)
clean cloth using a solution of mild soap and water. To clean the groves on
the foot pedals, use a soft nylon scrub brush. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part
of the EFX. Allow the EFX to dry completely before using it.
The Precor Heart Rate Option equipment 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 chest strap. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.
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.
Servicing the EFX
Do not attempt to service the EFX5.17 yourself except for the maintenance tasks
described in this manual. The EFX5.17 does not contain any user-serviceable parts that
require lubrication. For information about product operation or service, contact an
authorized Precor dealer.
Power Cord Maintenance
When the EFX5.17 is in use, ensure that the power supply cord is away from moving
parts and cannot be damaged. If the power supply cord or power conversion module is
damaged, it can only be replaced in a repair shop appointed by Precor because special
tools are required.
EFX Long Term Storage
When the EFX is not in use, ensure that the power supply cord is unplugged from the
wall outlet and is positioned so that it will not become damaged or interfere with other
equipment or people. There are no special storage requirements for the EFX other than
ensuring that is kept free from dirt, moisture, or damage.
