7 Maintaining the EFX

The EFX requires little maintenance to keep it running smoothly and efficiently. However, the customer is responsible for the typical maintenance tasks such as, cleaning the unit. If you fail to maintain the EFX as described below, it could affect or void the Precor limited warranty.

CAUTION: Turn OFF the EFX and disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance tasks.

CAUTION: Do not immerse any part of the chest strap. Do not spray or pour liquids on any part of the equipment.

Cleaning the Equipment

Your Precor EFX relies on low friction for efficient operation. To keep the friction low, the unit must be as clean as possible. Before a workout, use a damp, soft, clean cloth and wipe along the inside portion of the ramps. This helps remove any dirt or dust that might affect the smooth operation of the ramp rollers. Vacuum the floor around and underneath the unit every week to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.

To periodically clean the frame, display console, and foot pedals use a solution of mild soap and water and dampen a clean cloth. To clean the grooves on the foot pedals, use a soft nylon scrub brush. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the EFX. Allow the unit to dry completely before using it.

The Precor Heart Rate Option requires little maintenance beyond keeping it dust free and cleaning the chest strap with mild soap and water. Use a damp sponge or soft cloth to clean the POLAR® chest strap. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel. Do not use an abrasive cleaner on the strap.

Storing the Chest Strap

Store the chest strap transmitter in a place where dust and dirt cannot accumulate 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.
