Important: To access Manual mode, press Quick Start. When you use Quick Start, a default weight of 150 lbs (68 kg) is used for calculating the Calories display. Refer to Using the Quick Start Feature.

5.If you do not use Quick Start, press any or key to change the weight. (The weight increases and decreases in 5-pound or 2 kilogram increments) To increase the accuracy of the calorie count, select a weight that is closest to your actual weight. Press ENTER.

6.At the age prompt, use any or key to display your age and then, press ENTER.

7.Choose your workout mode either Manual (MANL), or one of the programs: Interval (INTV), Weight Loss (WTLS), or (CT20, CT30, GLT20, GLT30, CUST1, CUST2, or HRC) modes. Press the or key until you see the desired mode or course number appear on the display, then press ENTER.

Note: Refer to the label on the electronic console. This label provides information about the courses and illustrates the course profiles.

Important: Before working out, review the information in this manual regarding the different EFX programs and their operation. Refer to pages 12 through 15.

8.Depending on the course you select, you may be prompted to answer more questions before or during your workout. Hold onto the handrails while you workout.

To pause during your workout session before finishing the selected program, press the PAUSE key. The displays on the console freeze. See Pausing Your Workout or Ending Your Workout for more information.

Important: Do not hold the PAUSE key down for more than 4 seconds because you will inadvertently reset the display to the scrolling banner.

9.When you are finished exercising, review your workout results.

Note: Always allow yourself a cool-down period before ending your workout. Cooling down after your workout helps reduce muscle stiffness and soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the working muscles. It also helps your heart rate return to its normal (non- exercising) state. The EFX incorporates a 5-minute cool-down period at the end of its program courses. To access the cool down mode before coming to the end of a course, hold the PAUSE key down for 2 to 3 seconds. A prompt appears, indicating that you are in cool down.

10.If desired, after reviewing the displays, reset them to zero by pressing Hold to Reset for several seconds.

11.If you will not be using the EFX for awhile, turn it 0 (OFF).

CAUTION: If the ramp’s incline was not at zero when you pressed the Quick Start key, it automatically returns to zero. Hold onto the handrails while the ramp is moving.

Using the Quick Start Feature

The Quick Start feature on the EFX allows you to bypass the setup prompts to quickly access Manual mode. The weight setting defaults to 150 pounds (68 kg) so all calorie calculations and their associated displays are based on a body weight of 150 pounds (68 kg). The Smart Rate display will not work when you use the Quick Start key.

Note: Any prompts that appear after the weight prompt require your input before you can proceed. You can press Quick Start at any prompt and access Manual mode. However, Quick Start is disabled once you enter a program and begin your workout.

Retrieving the Previous Workout Program

To retrieve the previous workout program, simply press the ENTER key successively three times after displaying the weight prompt. Note that if someone else has exercised on the EFX after your workout, whatever program he or she used will be the one that is restored from memory.
