You do not need any special knowledge or experience to set up the EFX. However, you
must review and follow the instructions in this manual. If you do not assemble and use the
EFX5.17 according to the following guidelines, you might void the Precor limited warranty.

Installation Requirements

Follow these installation requirements when installing the EFX:

Fill out and mail the limited warranty card. The serial number on the EFX is
usually printed on the regulatory label located next to the ON/OFF switch. Another
location is inside the rear casing. As you face the rear casing, look into the opening
on the left side. The serial number is printed on a label attached to the side plate.
You may need a flashlight to read it. Write the serial number onto the limited
warranty card and in this manual before assembling the EFX. Refer to 

Obtaining

Service on page 6.

Set up the EFX5.17 EFX on a solid, flat surface.  A smooth, flat surface under
the unit helps keep it level. A level unit has fewer malfunctions.

Provide ample space around the machine. Open space around the machine makes
for a safer mount and dismount and easier access to the ON/OFF (I/O) switch.

Use a standard 120-volt household outlet. The EFX5.17 is for household use only. A
DC power conversion module plugs into the EFX and converts the 120-volt AC current
to DC current.

CAUTION: Do not remove or otherwise
bypass the DC power conversion
module. Electrical damage can occur
if the unit is connected to an improper
power source.

Setting Up the EFX

CAUTION: If you plan to move the
EFX, do so before you install the front
section. Ask for assistance to move
the unit to its final location.

Assembly Instructions

You should plan where you want to permanently locate the EFX because, once you
install the handrails, the width of the EFX provides little room for maneuvering through
a standard door frame.

To assemble the EFX5.17 EFX, take the following steps:

1.

Obtain assistance. Ask for assistance to place the shipping carton close to the
location where you plan to use the EFX. Breakdown the sidewalls of the shipping
carton so that they lie flat.
