Maintenance
It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in this section. Failure to maintain the EFX as described here could void the Precor Limited Warranty.
DANGER | To reduce the risk of electrical shock, |
| always unplug the unit from its |
| power source before cleaning it or |
| performing any maintenance tasks. |
Inspect the EFX before use.
Look and listen for slipping belts, loose fasteners, unusual noises, worn or frayed power cords, and any other indications that the equipment may be in need of service. If you notice any of these, obtain service.
Important: If you determine that the EFX needs service, make sure that the EFX cannot be used inadvertently. Turn the unit Off, insert the locking pin and then unplug the power cord from its power source. Make sure other users know that the EFX needs service.
To order parts or to contact a Precor authorized service provider in your area, refer to Obtaining Service.
Cleaning the Equipment
Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the covers. However, for efficient operation, the EFX relies on low friction. To keep the friction low, the unit’s ramp, foot pedals, handlebars, and covers must be as clean as possible.
Precor recommends the EFX be cleaned before and after each exercise session. Use mild soap and water; dampen a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove any dust or dirt.
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and void the Precor Limited Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the EFX. Allow the EFX to dry completely before using.
Frequently vacuum the floor around the unit to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth operation of the unit. Use a soft nylon scrub brush to clean the foot pedals.
Long-Term Storage
When the EFX is not in use for any length of time, turn it Off. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged from its power source and is positioned so that it will not become damaged or interfere with people or other equipment.
