GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
The EFX556 must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, ground-  
ing provides a path of least resistance for electric current which reduces the  
risk of electrical shock. The EFX556 is equipped with a power cord having an  
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be in-  
serted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in  
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If you do not follow these  
Grounding Instructions, you could void the Precor limited warranty.  
DANGER  
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk  
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you  
are in doubt as to whether the EFX is properly grounded. Do not modify the  
plug provided with the unit—if it doesn’t fit the outlet, get a proper outlet in-  
stalled by a qualified technician.

SETTING A WORKOUT TIME LIMIT  
You can limit how long a user works out by setting a duration between 1 and 240  
minutes. The EFX also lets you choose “no limit” which allows the user to select  
a course and work out indefinitely. (Note that the user must enter a workout time  
of 0 using the numeric keys at the Enter Time prompt before he or she can  
workout “indefinitely.) If the club setting is “no limit” and the user enter “0” at the  
Enter Time prompt, then the Time Remaining display does not appear when a  
user works out. (An exception to this rule is the Weight Loss Course.)  
Note: The Quick Start program is automatically limited to 30 minutes. However,  
if a user presses Quick Start at the Precor banner, and the Club program has  
limited Workout Time to less than 30 minutes, than that duration takes effect.  
Use the ▼ ▲ keys to select a workout time limit. For example, if you set the  
workout time limit to 20 minutes, the EFX allows users to specify a workout  
between 1 and 20 minutes. Users would then be unable to specify a time longer  
than 20 minutes.  
Note: Take into account that the user will get an additional 5-minute cool down  
period appended to his or her workout, so adjust the time limit accordingly.  
SETTING A PAUSE TIME LIMIT  
Setting a Pause time limit is useful because the EFX exits the course and returns  
to the Precor banner at a predetermined interval after the user stops pedaling.  
Use the ▼ ▲ keys to set a Pause time limit between 1 and 120 seconds (2 minutes).  
VIEWING THE ODOMETER, HOURS OF USE, SOFTWARE  
VERSION AND ERROR LOG  
The display console keys that you need to press to view the odometer, the  
number of hours the EFX has been in use, the software version and any error  
codes, are as follows:  
Reset, , ▼  
Important: Remember to begin at the Precor banner. After pressing Reset,  
the next key in the sequence must be pressed within 1/2 second.  
The field name Odometer appears briefly and then the odometer value (the  
cumulative strides that users have travelled) appears.  
Press Enter and the number of hours (Hour Meter) that the unit has been in  
use appears. The EFX notes the passing of each 10th of an hour, but the  
numeric value that appears is truncated to the nearest full hour.  
Press Enter again and the unit’s three digit Software Version (upper and  
lower) appears on the display.

TOP DISPLAY WINDOWS  
Smart Rate®: You must enter your “Age” (during the course Setup prompts), and  
wear a POLAR® chest strap, while in a course program, before the blinking seg-  
ment in the bar graph can show the zone that your heart rate is in, either:Weight  
Loss or Cardiovascular.  
Weight Loss Zone: Maintaining your heart rate between 55% and 70% of  
your maximum aerobic heart rate, helps burn enough calories that, when  
continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes or more, provides the great-  
est fat-burning results.  
Cardiovascular Zone: Maintaining your heart rate between 70% and 85%  
of your maximum aerobic heart rate, helps you (when continued on a  
regular basis for 30 minutes or more) improve your overall cardiovascu-  
lar/cardiorespiratory fitness level.  
Important: During a course, your heart rate must be above 40 beats per  
minute before the segment begins to blink. If your EFX has the heart rate  
touch-sensitive electrodes on the handrail, you don’t need to wear a  
POLAR® chest strap. However, you will need to grasp the electrode strips.  
Note that pressing Quick Start disables the Smart Rate® display feature.  
HEART RATE: The heart rate display lets you monitor your heart rate. When a  
heart beat is detected, the number appears in the small upper right display  
(refer to Diagram 9) and blinks in time with your pulse. If you did not purchase  
the Precor Heart Rate Touch factory-installed option or are not wearing a  
POLAR® chest strap, your heart rate will not be detected and no pulse rate  
appears. Refer to The Heart Rate Feature on page 30.  
CENTER DISPLAY WINDOW  
The Precor banner and course profiles appear in the large center display (LED  
matrix). Always start a workout at the Precor banner. During workouts, the  
course profile appears in the center display and corresponds to the program  
you selected. As you proceed through your workout, your position is indicated  
by a blinking cell.  
ELONGATED CENTER DISPLAY  
Prompts appear in this display prior to your workout.You address each prompt  
using the numeric or keypad keys. Once you begin a workout, lights appear in  
the columns below the window indicating which information is being displayed.  
You can highlight a particular feature by pressing the appropriate Change key.  
The following describes the information that can appear in the display.  
TIME: During your workout, a time (0:00) display appears when you begin work-  
ing out. Time appears in minutes and seconds. However, should you exceed 60  
minutes (during a single workout), the Time display converts to hours and min-  
utes. The Time display shows how long you’ve been working out. Even when  
you enter your cool-down period, the Time display provides the cumulative  
duration of your workout.

STRIDES: Shows the total number of strides completed.The number will always  
be even since two strides create one complete revolution of the flywheel. A  
stride is an exaggerated walking movement. On the EFX®, if you start in a  
position with one foot forward and one foot back, a stride is completed when you  
move the rear foot all the way forward while the forward foot moves to the rear.  
STRIDES PER MINUTE: Displays your current pedaling speed.  
CALORIES: Provides the cumulative number of calories being burned.  
TIME REMAINING: Indicates the amount of time, in minutes and seconds  
(mm:ss), that remain in the course. When you enter a cool down period, the  
Time Remaining resets to 5 minutes, and begins counting down from there.  
Note: If a course has no designated time limit (the club has set the Workout  
Time Limit as “No Limit”) and you input 0 using the numeric keys at the  
EnterTime prompt), then the Time Remaining field does not appear. See Club  
Information on page 16.  
DISTANCE: The distance that you have travelled appears when you select this  
feature. Distance appears in 100th mile increments and can also appear in  
kilometers. (See Club Information on page 16.) The number shown in the dis-  
play is not a conversion of strides, but relates closely to the user’s expenditure  
of energy. The energy level is derived from the user’s current MET’s value and  
converted to an equivalent linear distance.  
WATTS: Indicates the amount of energy the EFX is currently expending.  
CALORIES PER MINUTE: Indicates the approximate number of calories being  
burned per minute.  
SEGMENT TIME: In the Manual or preprogrammed courses, this display indi-  
cates the amount of time, in minutes and seconds (mm:ss) that remains in the  
highlighted column (or segment) of the course profile before the cell at the top  
of the next column begins blinking. If the course being used is Cross Training,  
Interval, or Weight Loss, then the number appearing in this display indicates  
the amount of time that remains in the current interval.  
RESISTANCE: Displays the amount of resistance being applied to the foot  
pedals. The Resistance and keys let you set a resistance between 1 and  
20 which affects the amount of resistance applied by the brake. Once a course  
is begun, you can also use the numeric keys to designate the resistance.  
Refer to Numeric Keys on page 24.  
Note: You can check the resistance (when it is not the chosen display) any  
time during your workout by lightly pressing either Resistance or key for  
less than 2 seconds. Pressing the Resistance or key for more than 2  
seconds causes the resistance level to change.  
METS: Displays the metabolic units associated with your workout.

KEYS ON THE DISPLAY CONSOLE  
The Precor products have an easy-to-use keypad that is activated by the  
slightest touch. Remind users that they only need to “lightly touch” these ultra-  
sensitive keys.  
Each key on the display console’s keypad provides specific functions. Nu-  
meric keys (numbered 1 - 0) let you enter data in answer to the display prompts  
and change the resistance during a workout. The standard keys, Change,  
Reset, Quick StartTM, Resistance ▼ ▲, and Enter, let you enter data as well  
as control your workout.  
The following information explains the different uses of the keys from left to  
right. To locate each key, look at the display console or refer to Diagram 10.

Numeric Keys (1 - 0): During a workout, you can use the numeric keys to  
change the EFX’s resistance (from 1 through 20). Remember, if you use the  
numeric keys to change the resistance, you need to designate, within 3 sec-  
onds, whether you are increasing the resistance by pressing the key or  
decreasing the resistance by pressing the key.  
Note: When you use the numeric keys to change the resistance, the actual resis-  
tance appears on the display as the brake is applied. If you wish to halt the change,  
press either the Resistance or key. The brake stops applying resistance and  
the display shows the current resistance level.  
During the Setup prompts, you can also use the numeric keys to type in a  
course number (1 through 6), workout time, weight, and age. Note that you  
must press Enter to process your selection.  
CHANGE: During a workout, the Change key lets you choose which feature  
appears on the display.  
RESET: While you are answering the Setup prompts or when you are working  
out, you can cancel the course program, clear the display, and return to the  
banner by pressing Reset.  
RESISTANCE ▼ ▲: During a workout, the Resistance ▼ ▲ keys let you de-  
crease or increase the force applied against your stride. The display can show  
a range from 1 to 20. Setting #1 provides the least resistance.  
When you change the resistance by pressing the Resistance or key, the  
number that appears on the display shows the target resistance (not necessarily,  
the present resistance being applied) because the display can change much  
faster than the brake.  
Another feature of the Resistance ▼ ▲ keys lets you review the EFX’s resis-  
tance any time during your workout. If RESISTANCE is not one of the chosen  
features being displayed, you can view the actual resistance by lightly touch-  
ing either Resistance or key. You can opt to change the resistance, if  
you hold the key down for more than 2 seconds.  
Note: The numeric keys can also be used to adjust the resistance. Please  
refer to Numeric keys above.  
ENTER: Workout specific prompts need to be answered and “entered” into  
memory. Pressing Enter selects the information displayed and processes it.

Exercising on the EFX  
Once the EFX is assembled and turned ON, it is ready to use. The easy-to-under-  
stand prompts let you select a course and specify how long you want to work out.  
Begin working out and then, adapt the resistance level to meet your fitness goals.  
CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, have your physician  
give you a complete physical examination.  
USING THE HANDLEBARS  
The handlebars on the EFX provide an upper-body workout that, when used  
properly, helps increase cardiovascular fitness. By adding the upper-body move-  
ment to your cross training workout, you’re actually increasing your work  
effort and enhancing your overall fitness level. A variety of hand positions can  
intensify the effectiveness of your workout. Ask the Club personnel for ideas  
on how to utilize the EFX handlebars to meet your personal fitness goals.  
USING THE STATIONARY HANDRAILS  
When you step on to or off of the foot pedals and when you use the display  
keys, always grasp at least one of the stationary handrails to help keep your  
balance. During a workout, use the stationary handrails to rest or slow down  
your upper-body movement.  
If your club purchased the Precor Touch Heart Rate factory-installed option,  
“touch-sensitive” electrode strips are part of the stationary handrails. If you wish  
to view your heart rate on the display, grasp the touch-sensitive electrode strips  
on the handrails while working out. Your heart rate signal is transmitted to the  
receiver installed in the display console. During your workout, the heart rate  
indicator lights and blinks at the same rate as your pulse. This lets you see what  
your heart rate is doing even when the display is presenting other workout  
statistics. For more information, refer to The Heart Rate Feature on page 30.  
PAUSE, COOL DOWN AND EXIT FEATURES  
Pausing, cooling down, and exiting are integral parts of your workout and can be  
accessed any time during a course. The EFX goes through several prerequisites  
before actually exiting a course.The following tables explain the various situations.  
In a course,  
This is what happens...,  
you complete it Enter Cool Down. At the start of the cool-down period, the  
resistance is reduced by 20%. You can adjust the setting  
using the numeric or ▼ ▲ keys. The display features re-  
main, so you can review your workout statistics.  
Note: A Cool-down period is appended to those courses  
that have a finite duration. If you do not enter a Workout  
Time during the Setup prompts, or the club has set “no  
limit” as the default duration, then a cool-down period does  
not occur when you reach the end of a course.

while you step off  
the EFX.  
If your club does not have the CSAFE option and you wish to  
monitor your progress toward your fitness goals, a form for  
recording workout statistics is provided on page 35.  
COOLING DOWN AFTER A WORKOUT  
Cooling down is an important aspect of your workout because it helps reduce  
muscle stiffness and soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the  
working muscles. Cooling down for at least 3 minutes helps provide a smooth  
transition that allows your heart rate to return to its normal (non-exercising)  
state. The EFX automatically initiates a 5-minute cool-down period once you  
complete a course that has a specified time duration. A prompt appears, indicat-  
ing that you are in cool down.  
During your cool down, the workout statistics continue to appear. The TIME  
display shows the accumulated time which includes warm-up and cool-down  
periods. When you complete the 5-minute cool down, a Workout Summary  
appears. See the information beginning on page 26.  
Important:To activate a cool-down period, a course must “end.” The course ends  
when the workout Time (entered during the Setup prompts) expires. If no workout  
Time entry occurred, then (from a software perspective) no time limit exists, so a  
cool-down period is not appended to the course. (However, club time limits still apply  
whether or not a workout Time was entered.)

Courses  
The EFX lets you choose between 6 variable courses. This section provides  
information about the special features and functions of the EFX courses and how  
to best utilize the:  
• Heart Rate and Smart Rate® features  
• Cross Country and Hill Climb courses  
• Interval course  
• Manual course  
• Cross Training course  
• Weight Loss course  
Note: To choose a course, begin at the Precor banner and press Enter. User-  
friendly prompts guide you through the course selections. Refer to Quick Steps  
to Working Out on page 28.  
THE HEART RATE FEATURE  
To use the heart rate features you must wear the POLAR® chest strap or grasp  
the touch-sensitive electrode strips on the handrails while working out. The  
chest strap transmits your heart rate signal to the receiver installed in the  
display console. The signal appears as your pulse rate on the display. During  
your workout, the heart rate indicator lights and blinks at the same rate as your  
pulse. This lets you see what your heart rate is doing even when the display is  
presenting other workout statistics.  
Note:The Smart Rate® display does not appear if you use the Quick Start key  
to access a course. Refer to QUICK START on page 25.  
Important: The POLAR® chest strap is optional equipment and can be pur-  
chased through your dealer. The touch-sensitive electrode strips on the hand-  
rails are factory-installed and must be purchased at “point of sale.”  
UTILIZING THE SMART RATE® FEATURE  
Add the benefit of Smart Rate® to every course on the EFX. Using Smart Rate®  
as a visual cue helps you adjust your exercise routine to suit specific needs.  
Smart Rate® simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise.You don’t  
have to stop concentrating on your workout to find your pulse. It is displayed  
right in front of you along with the Smart Rate® zone. Once you begin a course,  
a blinking segment in the bar graph appears on the left of the display, if you  
entered your age during the Setup prompts. The blinking segment indicates the  
zone that your heart rate is in: Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.  
Important: Access to Smart Rate® is only available when the person exercis-  
ing wears a POLAR® chest strap or uses the touch-sensitive electrode strips  
on the handrails. (The POLAR® chest strap is a separate purchase option.)  
The touch-sensitive electrode strips on the stationary handrails are factory-  
installed and must be purchased with the unit.The Smart Rate® indicator lights  
do not appear when Quick Start is used to select a course.

YOUR AGE  
For the ideal “weight loss” range, your heart rate should be between 55% and  
70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. It should never exceed 80% of your  
maximum aerobic heart rate or go above your training zone. Refer to  
Diagram 11 for your appropriate training zone.  
When you maintain your heart rate between 70% and 85% of your maximum  
aerobic heart rate, you are improving your overall cardiovascular/cardiorespi-  
ratory fitness level. Maintaining your heart rate in either zone (weight loss or  
cardiovascular) for 30 minutes or more on a regular basis (minimum 3 times a  
week) provides the greatest benefits.  
MANUAL MODE AND THE QUICK START KEY  
Manual mode lets you determine the resistance level which affects the effort  
you put into your workout. As with other courses, when you complete the time  
limit set for the course, the automatic cool-down period begins.  
You can choose Manual mode in two different ways:  
pressing the Quick Start key at the Precor banner. Quick Start bypasses  
the remaining selections and starts the Manual course. Default values  
include a time limit of 30 minutes (or the Club setting, whichever is smaller),  
150 lbs. (68 kg.) and an age of 0. The Smart Rate® display is inactive.  
pressing Enter at the Precor banner. This causes the EFX to display  
several Setup prompts. At the course prompt, select #1 — Manual course.  
The Manual course profile appears as a flat line. Use the ▼ ▲ keys or the  
numeric keys to adjust the resistance level. (See page 24 for more information  
on the different key’s function.) As you proceed with your workout, a blinking  
cell represents your position on the course.

CROSS TRAINING COURSE  
The Cross Training course is similar to the Interval Course, but instead of rest/  
work intervals the course consists of alternating segments of forward and  
backward pedaling movements that focus on working the thigh and calf muscle  
groups. Ask Club personnel about utilizing the benefits of this type of workout  
in your fitness goals.  
The course profile displays the rest and work intervals. The height of the  
intervals reflects the changes (if any) made by you to the resistance levels.  
You set the resistance for the first forward and backward interval and the  
software repeats the settings throughout the course. Any time during the course,  
you can adjust the resistance setting by pressing a or key. The software  
remembers the new setting and applies it to the subsequent backward or  
forward interval. Prompts appear on the display indicating when you should  
change the pedaling direction.  
Note: If a workout Time is entered, then the time is divided into 5 equal inter-  
vals (forward, backward, forward, backward, forward) and appears in the course  
profile. If no workout Time is entered (or “no limit” is set by the club), then the  
time per interval is set to 1 minute.  
CROSS COUNTRY AND HILL CLIMB COURSES  
In the EFX preprogrammed courses, the resistance is predetermined. This lets  
you use the course without bothering to adjust the resistance. However, if you  
want to make changes to the resistance level use the numeric keys or  
Resistance ▼ ▲ keys any time during the course. Refer to the Numeric keys  
and the Resistance ▼ ▲ key on page 24.  
INTERVAL COURSE  
The interval course on the EFX lets you select the rest and work intervals  
according to your training regimen. You set the resistance level for first rest  
and work interval and the software repeats the intervals throughout the course.  
At any point during the workout, you can change the settings of the current  
interval by simply pressing the ▼ ▲ or numeric keys. The software remembers  
the new settings and applies it to the appropriate rest or work interval.  
Important: If you entered your Age during the Setup prompts and wear the  
POLAR® chest strap or utilize the “touch” heart rate, you can adjust the rest or  
work intervals to keep your heart rate in its recommended zone. For the weight  
loss mode, try to maintain your heart rate at the lower end (55% of maximum  
heart rate) while in the “rest” intervals and keep it at 70% of maximum heart  
rate while in the “work” intervals. See Diagram 11 on page 31.  
To use the interval course, take the following steps:  
1. Follow the instructions on page 28, Quick Steps to Working Out.  
2. At the course prompt, use the ▼ ▲ key or numeric keys to select the  
Interval course and then press Enter.

3. Enter a workout Time. If the workout Time entered is an even number,  
then all intervals (rest and work) are 2 minutes long. If the workout Time  
entered is an odd number, then all intervals (rest and work) are 2 minutes  
long, except the last one which will be 1 minute.  
4. Press Enter to proceed to the next prompt. When you’re finished answer-  
ing the Setup prompts, the Interval course begins.  
To set the resistance level for each interval, take the following steps:  
1. When the Rest interval prompt appears, press the Resistance or ▲  
key to change the level. When the desired setting is displayed, simply  
continue working out—you do not need to press Enter.  
The EFX returns to the “rest” settings at the beginning of each rest inter-  
val until you readjust it or end your workout.  
2. The same procedure applies to specifying the settings for the work interval.  
The value that appears in the SEGMENT TIME field indicates the time remain-  
ing in the current interval. Each time the EFX changes intervals, it informs you  
by displaying a message. When you complete the time limit set for the course,  
the automatic cool-down period begins.  
WEIGHT LOSS COURSE  
The Precor Weight Loss course incorporates the latest findings on fat-burning  
and weight loss through exercise. It is based on research at the world-renowned  
Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research and it is designed to help you burn the  
most fat during a 28-minute workout, while minimizing the risk of discomfort and  
injury. The Weight Loss program is similar to the Interval course, but the inter-  
vals are set at 4 minutes. If you use the POLAR® chest strap or the touch-  
sensitive electrode strips on the handrail (both separate purchase options), try  
to keep the rest interval’s target heart rate at 55% of (220 - your age), while the  
work interval should be set to 70% of (220 - your age). As in the Interval course,  
once you set the resistance levels for the first rest and work interval, the EFX  
automatically repeats the interval settings throughout the course.  
Note: For the EFX to detect a heart rate, the user must wear the POLAR® chest  
strap or hold onto the touch-sensitive electrode strips on the handrail. The  
POLAR® chest strap is optional equipment that can be purchased from your  
dealer. The touch-sensitive handrails are factory-installed and must be pur-  
chased with the unit. Refer to The Heart Rate Feature on page 30.  
To use the Weight Loss program, follow the steps found in Quick Steps to  
Working Out on page 28. When the Course prompt appears, choose the ap-  
propriate course number. Refer to the course label on the display console.  
Important: During your workout, you can change the resistance, but doing so  
will cause the effectiveness of the Weight Loss program to vary.  
Note: When you complete the 28-minute time limit set for the course, the  
automatic cool-down period begins.

Maintenance  
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.  
CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT  
DANGER — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT  
FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE CLEANING OR PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE TASKS.  
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.  
Everyday use a soft cloth, dampened (not dripping wet) in a solution of mild  
soap and water, to clean all exposed surfaces on the EFX. 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 ramp and roller  
wheel surfaces. 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: Never pour water or spray liquids on the display console or  
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 every week to prevent the accu-  
mulation of dust and dirt.  
The Precor Heart Rate equipment requires little maintenance beyond keeping  
it dust free. Dampen a sponge or soft cloth in mild soap and water to wipe the  
touch-sensitive elements 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 accu-  
mulate 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  
888-665-4404.  
LONG TERM STORAGE  
When the EFX is not in use for any length of time, turn it OFF. Ensure that the  
power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet and is positioned so that it will not  
become damaged or interfere with other equipment or people.

Options / Accessories / Battery-powered or Self-Operated Devices  
Many options or accessories have components that are connected internally or mounted inside the electronic  
console. The following guidelines determine the warranty for these components. If the internal components are  
installed by the factory or by an authorized dealer as part of the original sale and delivery, they have a warranty that is  
identical to the warranty of the equipment in which they are connected or mounted. If the internal components are  
not installed by the factory or by an authorized dealer as part of the original sale and delivery, they have a 90 days  
parts and labor limited warranty. All components that are not internally connected have a 90 days parts only limited  
warranty. Satisfactory proof of purchase is required in all cases.  
This Limited Warranty shall not apply to:  
1. Software (PROM) limitations or corrections.  
2. Batteries or other consumables, or cosmetic items,  
grips, seats, labels, or wheels.  
3. Repairs performed on Precor equipment missing a  
serial number or with a serial tag that has been  
altered or defaced.  
4. Service calls to correct installation of the equipment or  
instruct owners on how to use the equipment.  
5. Pick-up, delivery, or freight charges involved with repairs.  
6. Any labor costs incurred beyond the applicable  
labor warranty period.  
PRECOR'S SOLE LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF PARTS ACCORDING TO THE TERMS AND  
CONDITIONS OF THESE LIMITED WARRANTIES, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR  
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE ABOVE WRITTEN WARRANTIES.  
IN NO EVENT WILL PRECOR OR THE SELLING DEALER BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL  
DAMAGES SUCH AS INCONVENIENCE, COMMERCIAL LOSS, LOST PROFITS OR DAMAGE TO OTHER PROPERTY.  
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above  
limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights  
which vary from state to state.
