CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT

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.

™To clean all exposed surfaces on the EFX, it is recommended that you use a diluted solution of mild soap and water. Clean the EFX everyday with a soft cloth, dampened (not dripping wet) in the solution.

™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 surfaces of the ramp and roller wheels daily, or whenever the ramp becomes soiled. 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: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the ramp coat- ing and void the Precor LimitedWarranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the EFX. Allow the EFX to dry completely before using.

™Periodically, clean the grooves on the foot pedals using a soft nylon scrub brush. Vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.

™The Precor Heart Rate equipment requires little maintenance beyond keep- ing 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.
