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 — T O 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
