The self-powered EFX
®
will continue to run smoothly and efficiently as long as it is
maintained properly. You are responsible for cleaning and maintaining the unit’s
integrity. If you fail to maintain the EFX as described below, it could affect or void
the Precor Limited Warranty.
DANGER
— To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the
EFX from the optional battery recharger before cleaning it or performing
any maintenance tasks.
INSPECTION
Perform a daily inspection of the unit.
Look and listen for slipping belts, loose
fasteners, unusual noises, and any other indications that the equipment may be in
need of service. Obtain service should you notice any of the above.
Important:
If you determine that the EFX is in need of service, move it away from
the main workout area and place an large “Out of Service” sign on it.
To order parts or to contact a Precor authorized service provider in your area,
refer to
Obtaining Service on page 7.
CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT
Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the casing. However, for
efficient operation, the EFX relies on low friction. To keep the friction low, the EFX
rollers, rails, and internal mechanisms must be as clean as possible.
To clean all exposed surfaces on the EFX, it is recommended that you use
a diluted solution of mild soap. Clean the EFX everyday with a soft cloth,
dampened (not dripping wet) in the solution.
To clean the ramp and roller wheels, position one foot pedal at the top of the
ramp (the other will automatically be positioned at the bottom). Clean the
exposed surfaces of the ramp and roller wheels daily, or whenever the ramp
becomes soiled. Switch the foot pedal position to finish cleaning the ramp.
Gently, lift the roller wheel and rotate it while you wipe it. This helps removes
any dust or dirt which might affect the smooth operation of the unit.
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the ramp coat-
ing and void the Precor Limited Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on
any part of the EFX. Allow the EFX to dry completely before using.
Periodically, clean the grooves on the foot pedals using a soft nylon scrub
brush. Vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of
dust and dirt.
The Precor Heart Rate equipment requires little maintenance beyond keep-
ing it dust free. Dampen a sponge or soft cloth in mild soap and water to
clean the POLAR
®
chest strap. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.
