Thank you for choosing Precor. For proper installation, please read this guide  
thoroughly and follow the assembly instructions. If you do not assemble the EFX  
according to these guidelines, you could void the Precor Limited Warranty.  
Installation Requirements  
Follow these installation requirements when assembling the unit:  
Assemble the EFX in the location where you plan to use it. No rollers or  
wheels exist on the EFX, so it is not easy to move once it is fully  
assembled.  
Obtaining Service  
You should not attempt to service the EFX except for maintenance tasks  
described in the owner’s manual. Should you need more information regarding  
Customer Support numbers or a list of Precor authorized Service Centers, visit  
Provide ample space around the unit.  
Important: Consult your owner’s manual for proper placement of your  
equipment.  
Set up the unit on a solid, flat surface.  
A smooth, flat surface under the unit helps keep it level. A level unit has fewer  
malfunctions.  
Unpacking the Equipment  
The EFX is carefully tested and inspected before shipment. The unit is shipped in  
one box. Ask for help to unpack and assemble the EFX. If any items are missing,  
contact your dealer.  
Open the box and assemble the components in the sequence presented  
in this guide.  
Obtain assistance.  
Ask another capable adult for assistance during the assembly process.  
Important: (240 volt 5.25 model only) If the power cord attached to your  
equipment is not compatible with your local power plug standards, the container  
should also include a power cord for your region. You will need to install this  
cord in place of the one attached to the equipment. If you need such a cord and  
it was not included with your EFX, please contact your Precor dealer for the  
correct Precor power cord. For a list of authorized Precor dealers in your area,  
Use your fingers or the appropriate tools to insert fasteners.  
Proper alignment helps alleviate cross-threading. Do not fully tighten  
fasteners until instructed to do so.  
When fully tightening, the head of the fastener should be flush with the  
product. If it is not, cross-threading has occurred. Do not attempt to rework  
the assembly as more damage to the equipment will occur. Contact  
Customer Support. Refer to Obtaining Service.

Workout Tips  
7. When you reach the time goal, you automatically enter a  
cool-down period. After you complete the cool-down period, the  
equipment displays a summary of your exercise session statistics.  
If you used the touch-sensitive grips during your workout, your  
average heart rate appears in the display as well.  
Before and after an exercise session, gently  
stretch your lower body and back to help prevent  
stiffness or soreness.  
The Locking Pin on the  
Roller Arm  
At the beginning of an exercise session, take  
several minutes to bring your heart rate into your  
target zone (shown in Diagram A on the other side  
of this card).  
The locking pin on the EFX  
ramp secures the roller arm  
from use. To prevent  
unauthorized use, secure the  
roller arm with the locking pin  
after every workout.  
8. Stop pedaling and hold on to the stationary handrail while you  
carefully step down from the EFX.

As you work out, your perspiration will help transmit  
your heart rate signal. If you have difficulty using the  
handheld grips to determine your heart rate, try the  
sensors again later in the workout to see if you can  
obtain a heart rate signal.  
Wearing a chest strap transmitter during your workout  
provides steady heart rate information. For the equipment  
to detect your heart rate, you must grip the touch heart  
rate sensors or wear a chest strap transmitter while  
exercising. In the presence of both touch and wireless  
data, the touch data takes precedence and will display.  
Choosing a Program  
Determine your level of fitness: beginner, intermediate,  
or advanced.  
Determine your immediate goal: endurance training,  
cardio-conditioning, or weight loss.  
If the touch heart rate feature does not work for you,  
Precor recommends that you use a chest transmitter  
strap.  
If you are a beginner, start a cardio-conditioning program  
to slowly adjust your body to a comfortable level of  
exercise. Over a recommended 8-week period, you will  
increase your endurance and strength while improving  
flexibility.  
Note: To receive an accurate reading, the strap needs to  
be in direct contact with the skin on the lower sternum  
(just below the bust line for women).  
CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85%  
of your maximum aerobic heart rate. Your  
maximum heart rate is equal to 220 minus your age.  
(Diagram A).  
To use a chest strap:  
1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water.  
For all fitness levels, plan to exercise at a comfortable  
pace for 20 to 30 minutes a day. To monitor your heart  
rate, use the touch-sensitive grips. Supplement your plans  
with fitness workouts from the Precor web site  
(www.precor.com).  
Important: Do not use deionized water. It does not  
have the proper minerals and salts to conduct  
electrical impulses.

Note: Touch heart rate performance may vary based on a  
user’s physiology, fitness level, age, and other factors. You  
may experience an erratic readout if your hands are dry,  
dirty, or oily, or if the skin on your palms is especially thick.  
Wearing hand lotion can also cause an erratic readout. In  
addition, make sure that the sensors are clean to ensure  
proper contact can be maintained.  
4. Test the chest strap placement by checking the heart  
rate function on the equipment. If a heart rate is  
registering, your chest strap placement is correct. If  
the equipment does not register a heart rate, readjust  
the strap and recheck the heart rate function.

Automatic crossramp  
The Locking Pin  
CAUTION: Always use the locking pin to secure the  
foot pedals when the EFX is not in use.  
Figure 2: Remove locking pin before exercising  
The locking pin secures the foot pedals to keep them from  
traveling up or down the ramp. Before beginning your  
exercise session, pull firmly on the pin to slide it out of the  
roller arm. Refer to Figure 2. A lanyard attaches the locking  
pin under the ramp.  
Store the locking pin underneath the ramp once it is  
removed from the roller arm. Refer to Figure 3. After

Using the Stationary Handrail  
To maintain your balance, always grasp a stationary  
handrail when you step on or off the foot pedals, and when  
you use the keypad.  
Location  
It is important to keep a minimum distance of one foot (30  
cm) around the EFX open and free from obstacles such as  
other equipment.  
CAUTION: The EFX is not equipped with wheels and  
should be assembled in the location where you plan to  
use it. If you need to move the EFX, use the locking pin  
to secure the foot pedals, obtain help, and use proper  
lifting techniques.  
To learn more about the touch-sensitive grips on the EFX,  
refer to Heart Rate Features.  
Turning the Unit On and Off  
To turn the unit on and off, use the power switch located at  
the rear of the unit, near the power cord receptacle. Refer

Heart Rate Features  
Note: Handheld heart rate performance may vary based on  
a user’s physiology, fitness level, age, and other factors.  
You may experience an erratic readout if your hands are  
dry, dirty, or oily, or if the skin on your palms is especially  
thick. Wearing hand lotion can also cause an erratic  
readout.  
Important Safety Instructions  
Read the following before using the heart rate or  
SmartRate features.  
Consult your physician before engaging in any vigorous  
exercise. Do not use the heart rate programs until  
authorized by your physician.  
To use the handheld heart rate feature place the palm of  
your hands directly on the touch-sensitive heart rate  
sensors on the equipment’s handlebars. To ensure a more  
accurate heart rate readout, make sure you follow these  
tips.  
Know your heart rate and your physician-recommended  
heart rate target zone.  
Using the Heart Rate Grips  
It takes a number of consecutive heartbeats (15-20  
seconds) for your heart rate to register.  
Note: While exercising, you must grasp both touch-  
sensitive grips for a minimum of five to ten seconds to  
transmit your heart rate to the display.  
When gripping the sensors, do not grip tightly. Keep a  
loose, cupping hold. Holding the grips tightly can make  
it difficult to read your heart rate.  
Make sure that the sensors are clean to ensure proper  
contact can be maintained.  
As you work out, your perspiration will help in  
transmitting your heart rate signal. If you are having  
difficulty using the handheld grips to determine your  
heart rate, try the sensors again later in your workout to  
see if you can get a heart rate signal.

Note: If the touch-sensitive heart rate sensors do not work  
for you, then we recommend that you use a chest transmitter  
strap. A chest strap is not included with this model.  
Exercising to Your Target Heart Rate  
CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, see  
your physician for a thorough physical examination.  
Seek advice from your physician to learn the target heart  
rate appropriate for your fitness level. Your heart rate  
should never exceed 85% of your maximum aerobic  
heart rate. If it does, immediately slow down and adjust  
the ramp incline or resistance to return to your physical  
recommended target zone.

Heart Rate Program Tips  
Heart Rate Program  
The Basic HRC Program enhances your overall  
cardiovascular fitness level to help you achieve your weight  
loss and fitness goals. Read the following tips before  
selecting a program. These tips provide general  
information regarding how the program functions. For more  
information and exercise suggestions, refer to the Precor  
The Basic HRC Program (P8)  
adjusts the resistance to  
maintain your heart rate within  
two beats per minute of the  
PROGRAM  
target heart rate while you exercise. To help you monitor  
your heart rate while using this program, Target HR  
Achieved appears at the top of the SmartRate display  
when your heart rate is within two beats per minute of the  
target heart rate.  
The program provides a 3-minute warm-up period.  
During this time, you may change the CrossRamp or  
resistance, but you cannot adjust the time. At the end  
of the warm-up period, the program automatically  
controls the resistance.  
To use this program, you must enter your age and grasp  
the touch-sensitive grips so your heart rate can be  
monitored throughout the session.  
Note: The warm-up period ends and the program  
begins when the 3-minute period elapses or your target  
heart rate is maintained within +/- 2 beats per minute.  
CAUTION: Consult your physician to determine the  
appropriate target heart rate for your age and fitness  
level. Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your  
maximum aerobic heart rate. Your maximum heart rate  
is equal to 220 minus your age.  
Pressing the RESISTANCE arrow keys during the  
Basic HRC program adjusts your target heart rate.  
Owner’s Manual: Programs  
34  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
The program sets the default target heart rate as 70%  
of 220 minus your age. Changing your stride rate or  
CrossRamp affects the unit’s ability to maintain your  
target heart rate in the preferred zone. It takes time for  
the EFX to readjust the resistance so that your heart  
rate remains on target. Check the SmartRate and the  
HEART RATE displays to see if you are maintaining  
your preferred zone and to determine your actual heart  
rate. For information about understanding your target  
heart rate, refer to Heart Rate Features.  
Changes to the CrossRamp are reflected in the  
program’s profile. Automatic resistance changes  
appear in the RESISTANCE display.  
A cool-down period is incorporated into the program.

Maintenance  
It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks  
described in this section. Failure to maintain the EFX as  
described here could void the Precor Limited Warranty.  
Cleaning the Equipment  
Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the  
covers. However, for efficient operation, the EFX relies on  
low friction. To keep the friction low, the unit’s ramp, foot  
pedals, handlebars, and covers must be as clean as  
possible.  
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,  
DANGER  
always unplug the unit from its  
power source before cleaning it or  
performing any maintenance tasks.  
Precor recommends the EFX be cleaned before and after  
each exercise session. Use mild soap and water; dampen  
a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps  
remove any dust or dirt.  
Inspecting the EFX Before Use  
Look and listen for slipping belts, loose fasteners, unusual  
noises, worn or frayed power cords, and any other  
indications that the equipment may be in need of service. If  
you notice any of these, obtain service.  
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will  
weaken the paint or powder coatings 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.  
Important: If you determine that the EFX needs service,  
make sure that the EFX cannot be used inadvertently. Turn  
the unit Off, insert the locking pin and then unplug the  
power cord from its power source. Make sure other users  
know that the EFX needs service.  
Frequently vacuum the floor around the unit to prevent the  
accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth  
operation of the unit. Use a soft nylon scrub brush to clean  
the foot pedals.  
To order parts or to contact a Precor authorized service  
provider in your area, refer to Obtaining Service.

Long-Term Storage  
When the EFX is not in use for any length of time, turn it  
Off. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged from its  
power source and is positioned so that it will not become  
damaged or interfere with people or other equipment.
