EFX® SELF-POWERED FEATURES
The power source for the EFX is the user.When a person works out on the EFX and
moves the foot pedals at a stride rate above 40 strides per minute, the power that
is generated allows the EFX to function properly.
Informational displays appear when the battery is low or when the user has stopped
pedaling during a workout. The display provides minimal instructions to let you
know what to do to retain power.If the messages are ignored, the EFX will begin
shutdown procedures to maintain the charge of the battery. Refer to page 31,
Informational Displays Prior to Shutdown.
An optional battery recharger can be purchased and provides sustained power to
the EFX. If you plan to customize your unit, the optional battery recharger is highly
recommended.To purchase the optional battery recharger, check with your dealer.

rear pads and, at the front of the base assembly, a height adjustor.Check to
make sure that the unit does not wobble from side to side or front to back.
Important: If the unit is placed on a slightly, uneven surface, adjusting the
rear pads can help, but will not compensate for extremely uneven surfaces.
a. To remove any side to side movement or wobble, rotate the rear pads.
b. To counteract any rocking (front to back) motion, ask your assistant to
grasp the upright support so that he or she can raise the front of the unit
off the floor. Use a crescent or combination wrench to loosen the nut.
• Turn the height adjustor clockwise to raise the height of the front end.
• Turn the height adjustor counterclockwise to lower the height.
Once you have the proper height adjustment, use the wrench to turn the
nut counterclockwise and tighten it securely against the base tube.

SUPPLYING POWER TO THE EFX534
The EFX does not require an electrical power connection. It has an internal battery
that is recharged every time a user works out for a reasonable period of time. A
pedaling speed above 40 strides per minute must be maintained for several seconds
before the Precor banner appears on the display.Once the banner appears, the user
can press QuickStart or Enter to begin working out. For more information, refer to
page 34, Exercising on the EFX.
TESTING THE HEART RATE DISPLAY
If you have purchased the optional POLAR® chest strap, verify that the heart rate
display is operational before customers begin using the machine.
Note:To conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart, the electrode strips on
the chest strap must be in contact with the user’s skin.Usually, the concentration
of salts in a person’s perspiration provides enough conductivity to transmit a
signal to the receiver in the display console. However some people, because of
body chemistry or erratic heart beats cannot use the heart rate feature on the
EFX.To purchase a POLAR® chest strap, refer to Obtaining Service on page 7.
Diagram 20 Wearing the POLAR®
chest strap.
POLAR® chest strap
positioned and
centered on chest.
POLAR® chest strap

Dampen with water.
1. Wet the electrode strips on the POLAR® chest strap and wrap it around your
chest as shown in Diagram 20. Adjust the strap so that it maintains a snug fit.
2. Hold onto the stationary handrail and step onto the foot pedals.
3. Begin pedaling and maintain a stride rate above 40 strides per minute.The
Precor banner will appear on the display.
4. Wait five to ten seconds.A number indicating your heart rate (beats per minute)
should appear in the display.Three dashes appear (— — —) if a heart beat is
detected, but interference is occurring.Try readjusting the chest strap.
5. If the heart rate display appears, the cables are properly connected and the
heart rate feature can be a viable part of a user’s workout.
6. If the heart rate display does not appear, press Reset to return to the Precor
banner and then, ask someone else to try steps 2 through 4. If no heart rate
number appears, reconnect the cables at the front of the base tube. Follow
steps 1 through 4, again.
If a heart rate cannot be detected, refer to Obtaining Service on page 7.

CENTER DISPLAY
The items that appear in the display during a workout are described below.
Workout Statistics: Eight items, that relate to the workout, can appear on the
display once a user begins a course. After entering a course, the workout time
and the course profile appear for several seconds. Indicator lights appear so that
the user knows what information is being displayed.The Select keys can be used
to change what workout statistics appear on the display. Refer to page 35, for
more information.
TIME: During a workout, the time (0:00) display appears when a user begins a
course. Workout time appears in minutes and seconds. However, should a user
exceed 60 minutes (during a single workout), the workout time display converts
to hours and minutes.
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 a user starts in a position with
one foot forward and one foot back, a stride is completed when he or she moves
the rear foot all the way forward while the forward foot moves to the rear.
STRIDES PER MINUTE: Displays the number of strides completed in one minute
(i.e., the user’s current pedaling speed).
CALORIES: Provides the cumulative number of calories being burned.The calorie
calculation is dependent on the weight that is entered during the setup prompts.
An accurate weight selection results in a more accurate calorie count.
Course Profile: During a workout, the course profile appears in the right portion
of the display and corresponds to the program that the user selected. As the user
proceeds through his or her workout, the course position is indicated by a blinking
column.
The height of the column in the course profile represents the resistance settings.
Each row represents three levels of resistance.When the lowest row of LED’s is lit,
the user has selected a resistance level between 1 and 3, the next row represents
levels 4 through 6, and so on. If SmartRate® is displayed, then the two columns on
the right are not used by the profile display.
CALORIES PER MINUTE: Indicates the approximate number of calories being
burned per minute.
WATTS: Indicates the amount of energy the EFX is currently generating and is
derived from the current resistance and pedaling speed.
METS: Displays the metabolic equivalents of the user’s current energy expenditure
level. A MET’s level of 1 represents the body at rest. Note that when a user stops
pedaling, the MET’s value drops to zero because the displayed information no
longer corresponds to the user’s MET’s level.
Resistance Level: Indicates the degree of effort (1 through 20) associated with
the foot pedal resistance. This display only appears when a user presses the
Resistance ▼▲ keys. Refer to page 32, Resistance ▼▲ keys.

SMARTRATE® DISPLAY
SmartRate®: A user must enter an age, during the course Setup prompts and wear a
POLAR® chest strap, while in a course program, before the blinking segment in the
bar graph can show the zone that his or her heart rate is in. Refer to page 35,
Utilizing the SmartRate® Feature.
Important: During a course, the stride rate must be above 40 strides per minute
and a user’s heart rate must be above 40 beats per minute before the SmartRate®
segment begins to blink.
HEART RATE:The heart rate display lets a user monitor his or her heart rate.When
a heart beat is detected, the number appears in the small upper right display (refer to
Diagram 22).If the user does not wear a POLAR® chest strap, a heart rate will not be
detected and no pulse rate appears.Refer to The Heart Rate Feature on page 35.
INFORMATIONAL DISPLAYS PRIOR TO SHUTDOWN
The EFX saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode. Whenever
PEDAL FASTER appears on the display, the heart rate, SmartRate® and course
indicators turn off. If the user does not maintain a stride rate of 40 strides per
minute, then a thirty second shut down process begins.
Shortly after the thirty second shut down process begins and the PEDAL FASTER
prompt does not induce anyone to increase the pedaling speed, the display appears
blank and all key presses are ignored, except Reset. After several seconds, dots
appear on the display indicating that the EFX is shutting down. If no pedaling is
detected, the EFX eventually turns off.
If the EFX is connected to a CSAFE master device, a slightly different scenario
occurs.When the number of seconds remaining before the EFX shuts off equals
ten seconds (instead of eight), the workout session ends. RESETTING appears
in the display while the EFX disconnects from the CSAFE master device. All key
presses are ignored. Pedaling has no effect on the display.
Low Battery
If the battery voltage is low or needs recharging, the words WARNING - LOW
BATTERY appear after the PRECOR banner.The EFX continues to function even
with a low battery, but user and course information is lost once the user stops
pedaling.Note that the Pause feature does not work.

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 tap the keys.
Each key on the display console’s keypad provides specific functions. The ▼▲
keys let the user enter data in answer to the display prompts and change the
resistance during a workout.
Diagram 23 Display console keypad.
During a workout, the SELECT
keys highlight which workout
statistics appear on the display.

banner.
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 23.
RESISTANCE ▼▲: During a workout, the Resistance ▼▲ keys let the user de-
crease or increase the force applied against his or her stride. The display can
show a range from 1 to 20. Setting #1 provides the least resistance. A user can
review the EFX’s resistance any time during a workout, by lightly touching either
Resistance ▼ or ▲ key. He or she can opt to change the resistance, by holding
the key down for more than two seconds.
Note: The RESISTANCE ▼▲ keys appears on both ends of the display label for
the user’s convenience.
When a user changes 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.
The height of the course profile reflects the resistance levels. Each row that is lit
represents three levels of resistance. When the first row is lit, the resistance is
set between 1 and 3. If the first two rows are lit, the selected resistance level is
between 4 and 6, and so on.

Exercising on the EFX
The EFX is designed so that a user can work out with minimal instruction. The
directions on the console and the prompts on the display help guide the user
through an entire workout session.
This section provides workout tips and information about:
• using the heart rate features
• safety features
• quick steps to working out
• cooling down after a workout
• pause and exit features
• using the handlebars
CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, make sure that all users
receive a complete physical examination from their physician.
THE HEART RATE FEATURE
If a user wishes to view his or her heart rate on the display, tell them to wear the
POLAR® chest strap while working out. A heart rate signal is transmitted to the
receiver installed in the display console. During a workout, the heart rate indicator
lights, begins blinking and then, displays the heart rate.This lets the user see what
his or her heart rate is doing even when the display is presenting other workout
statistics. For more information, refer to page 22, Testing the Heart Rate Display.
UTILIZING THE SMARTRATE® FEATURE
Add the benefit of SmartRate® to every course on the EFX. Using SmartRate® as a
visual cue helps the user adjust his or her exercise routine to suit specific needs.
SmartRate® simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise.A user doesn’t
have to stop concentrating on the workout to find his or her pulse. It appears on the
display along with the SmartRate® zone. Once a user begins a course, a blinking
segment in the bar graph appears on the right of the display (if you entered your age
during the Setup prompts). The blinking segment indicates the zone that a user’s
heart rate is in:Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.
Important: Access to SmartRate® is only available when the person exercising
wears a POLAR® chest strap. (The POLAR® chest strap is a separate purchase
option.)The SmartRate® indicator lights do not appear when QuickStart is used
to select a course.
Weight Loss Zone
For the ideal “weight loss” range, a user’s heart rate should be between 55% and
70% of his or her maximum aerobic heart rate.It should never exceed 80% of the
user’s maximum aerobic heart rate or go above a user’s training zone. Refer to
Diagram 26 on page 41 for the appropriate training zone.
Cardiovascular Zone
When a user maintains a heart rate between 70% and 80% of his or her maximum
aerobic heart rate, he or she is improving his or her overall cardiovascular/cardio-
respiratory fitness level. Maintaining a heart rate in either zone (weight loss or
cardiovascular) for 30 minutes or more on a regular basis (minimum three times a
week) provides the greatest benefits.

Diagram 25 Using the EFX handlebars.
Handlebar
Water bottle holder
Stationary handrail
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 movement 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 staff personnel for additional information.
USING THE STATIONARY HANDRAIL
Always grasp the stationary handrail to help keep your balance when you step on
to or off of the foot pedals and when you use the display keys. During a workout,
use the stationary handrail to rest or slow down your upper-body movement.
CHANGING THE DISPLAY FEATURES USING THE SELECT KEY
The Select keys let you choose which feature(s) appears on the display. When
you enter a course, the workout time and course profile features are preselected
for you. As you work out,TIME indicates the amount of time you've spent in your
work out (or the time remaining). The blinking column in the course profile indi-
cates progress along the course.
Each Select key affects four different display features. The left SELECT key,
causes the indicator light to appear next to TIME, STRIDES, STRIDES PER
MINUTE and CALORIES.The right SELECT key, highlights COURSE PROFILE,
CALORIES PER MINUTE, WATTS and METS.
You can determine which features appear by turning the indicator lights, next to the
item, on or off. If the indicator light is off, the item will not appear in the display.

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.
It also helps provide a smooth transition that allows your heart rate to return to its
normal (non-exercising) state. The EFX automatically initiates a five minute, cool-
down period once you complete a course that has a specified time duration. A prompt
appears, indicating that you are in cool down.
During your cool down, the workout statistics continue to appear.When you complete
the five minute cool down, aWorkout Summary appears.See the information below.
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 you chose
INFINITE, no cool-down period is appended to the course.
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.
Since the EFX is self-powered, foot pedal movement must be continuous to avoid
shut down. For more information, refer to page 31.
Note: If the optional battery recharger is supplying power to the EFX, the factory
setting for Pause mode is two minutes (120 seconds). The business owner or
manager has the option to change the setting. A duration can be set between 1 and
120 seconds and limits how long a user can pause his or her workout. Refer to
Custom Settings Mode on page 23.

YOUR AGE
Important: If you entered your age during the Setup prompts and are wearing the
POLAR® chest strap, you can adjust the rest or work intervals to keep your heart rate
in its recommended zone.For the weight loss zone, 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 26.
To use the interval course, take the following steps:
1. Follow the instructions on page 37, Quick Steps to Working Out.
2. At the COURSE prompt, use the ▼▲ key to select the INTV course.
3. Press Enter.
4. Select a workout time. If the workout time entered is an even number, then
all intervals (rest and work) are two minutes long. If the workout time that you
enter is an odd number, then all intervals (rest and work) are two minutes
long, except the last one which will be one minute.
5. Press Enter to proceed to the next prompt.When you’re finished answering
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 resistance 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 interval
until you readjust it or end your workout.
2. The same procedure applies to specifying the settings for the work 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.

CROSS TRAINING COURSE
The CrossTraining course consists of alternating segments of forward and backward
pedaling movements that focus on working the thigh and calf muscle groups. Ask staff
personnel about the benefits of this type of workout.
The course profile is divided into one minute intervals. Prompts appear on the display
indicating when you should change the pedaling direction. Similar to the Interval
course, changes to the pedal resistance can be made at any time by pressing the
Resistance ▲▼ keys.
To use the CrossTraining course, follow the steps found in Quick Steps toWorking

software repeats the settings throughout the remaining intervals.You can change
the settings of the current interval by simply pressing the ▼ or ▲ key.The software
remembers the new settings and applies it to the appropriate forward or backward
interval for the remainder of the course.
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 intervals
are set at four minutes. If you wear the POLAR® chest strap, try to keep the rest
interval’s target heart rate at 55% of (220 minus your age), while the work interval
should be set to 70% of (220 minus your age). As in the Interval course, once you
set the resistance levels for the first rest and work interval, the EFX automati-
cally repeats the interval settings throughout the course.
To use the Weight Loss program, follow the steps found in Quick Steps to Working
Out on page 37.When the COURSE prompt appears, choose theWTLS.
Note: When you complete the 28-minute time limit set for the course, the
automatic cool-down period begins.

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 and water.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 LimitedWarranty.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.
