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 accumulation 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 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
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.
