QUICKSTART™

CAUTION: Before using the EFX®, read all these instructions. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

Do not allow people unfamiliar with its operation, or children, on or near the treadmill.

Before beginning any fitness program, see your physician for a thorough physical examination. Seek advice from your physician to learn the target heart rate appropriate for your fitness level.

Begin Your Workout with QUICKSTART

1.

Turn ON the EFX, using the I/O power switch at the base of

 

the rear cover. The Precor banner appears in the center

 

display.

2.

Remove the locking pin that secures the roller arm.

Always face the display and use the stationary handrail for balance. Never attempt to turn around on the EFX.

If you feel pain, faintness, or dizziness, stop exercising immediately.

User ID Keys

Pick one of two user ID keys and store workout preferences with your user number. The next time you exercise, press the appropriate USER key when the Precor banner appears. Your workout preferences are immediately restored. Press QUICKSTART

to begin working out.

The Locking Pin on the Roller Arm

The locking pin on the EFX ramp secures the roller arm and prevents it from continuous travel up or down the ramp.

To prevent unauthorized use, secure the roller arm with the locking pin after every workout. Pull firmly on the pin to slide it out of the roller arm. A lanyard attaches the locking pin to the ramp. Store the locking pin underneath the ramp once it is removed from the roller arm.

Workout Tips

Before and after a workout, gently stretch your lower body and back to help prevent stiffness or soreness.

At the beginning of a workout, take several minutes to bring your heart rate into your target zone (shown in Diagram D on the other side of this card).

Depending on your level of fitness, consider maintaining a pedaling speed between 100 and 150 strides per minute. Do not drop below 20 strides per minute during a workout or you enter pause mode.

To pause during your workout, stop pedaling. Pause mode has a 10-minute limit.

Incorporate a cool-down period into your workout to help lower your heart rate and minimize muscle stiffness or soreness.

3.

Hold on to the stationary handrail and step on the foot

 

pedals.

4.

Begin pedaling.

 

Important: If your unit has moveable handlebars, do not

 

use them until you are comfortable with the movement of

 

the EFX.

5.

Press QUICKSTART. The MANUAL (MANL) Program

 

begins.

 

Note: To select a different program or choose a user ID

 

(USER 1 or USER 2), refer to your owner’s manual.

6.

Use the RESISTANCE ▲▼ or CROSSRAMP ▲▼ keys to

 

change the resistance and ramp incline (EFX5.23).

7.

Enter a cool-down period by lowering the strides per

 

minute, the resistance, or the ramp incline (EFX5.23).

8.

To review your workout summary, press RESET. The display

 

shows your cumulative time, strides, and the number of

 

calories burned during your workout.

9.

When you are done reviewing your workout summary, press

 

RESET to return to the banner.

10. Stop pedaling and hold on to the stationary handrail while

 

you carefully step down from the EFX.

11. To prevent unauthorized use, turn OFF the EFX and secure

 

the roller arm with the locking pin.
