PERSONAL SAFETY

When using the EFX, take the following precautions:

•Do not allow children on or near the EFX. Do not leave children unsupervised around the EFX.

•A locking pin, inserted through the ramp and roller arm at the factory, provides an added security feature. This locking mechanism must be re- moved prior to working out. See Working Out on the EFX.

•Completely assemble the EFX532 before using it. Check the unit before each use. Do not continue to operate the EFX532 when it is not working properly and return the unit to a service center for examination and repair.

•Keep all electrical components, such as the power cable and I/O switch, away from liquids to prevent shock. Do not set anything on the casing, hand- rails, or display console. Place liquids only in the appropriate receptacles.

•Assemble and operate the EFX on a solid, level surface. Locate the EFX a few feet from walls or furniture. Keep the area behind the EFX clear.

•Maintain the EFX in good working condition. (See the Maintenance section).

Run through a check list prior to each use. Verify that all fasteners are secure.

•Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes during a workout—no loose cloth- ing. Tie long hair back. Keep towels away from moving parts.

•Use care when getting on or off the EFX. Use the stationary handrail(s) whenever possible. Keep your body and head facing forward. Never attempt to turn around on the EFX.

•Never place your hand(s) or feet in the path of the roller arm because injury may occur to you or damage may occur to the equipment.

•Do not use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer—such attachments might cause injury.

•Do not rock the unit. Do not stand on the display console or casing.

•Do not attempt to service the EFX yourself other than the assembly and maintenance instructions found in this manual. Refer to Obtaining Service.

•Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. If you feel any pain or abnor- mal symptoms, stop your workout immediately and consult your physician.

PRECOR HEART RATE OPTIONS—SAFETY GUIDELINES

The Precor Heart Rate Options are created and designed exclusively for Precor products. The equipment is very sensitive—you should use the heart rate options with this in mind and take time to read the guidelines found in this owner’s manual. If you purchased the POLAR® chest strap, review the guidelines found in the Precor Heart Rate Option Owner’s Manual that is supplied with that option.
