The EFX
®
will continue to run smoothly and efficiently as long as you maintain it.
You are responsible for typical maintenance tasks such as, cleaning the unit 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 Precor Limited Warranty.

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, such as Simple Green
®
. 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 groves 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 wipe
the touch-sensitive grips on the handrail or to clean the POLAR
®
chest strap.
Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.
STORING THE POLAR
®
CHEST STRAP
Store the chest strap transmitter in a place where dust and dirt cannot accumu-
late 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 EFX yourself except for the maintenance tasks
described in this manual. The unit does not contain any user-serviceable parts
that require lubrication. For information about product operation or service, call
