GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
The EFX546 must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, ground-  
ing provides a path of least resistance for electric current which reduces the risk  
of electrical shock.The EFX546 is equipped with a power cord having an equip-  
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted  
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance  
with all local codes and ordinances. If you do not follow these Grounding In-  
structions, you could void the Precor limited warranty.  
DANGER  
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk  
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are  
in doubt as to whether the EFX is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug  
provided with the unit—if it doesn’t fit the outlet, get a proper outlet installed by  
a qualified technician.

Setting Up the EFX  
You do not need any special knowledge or experience to set up the EFX. How-  
ever, you will need assistance. Because of the size and weight of the EFX, it is  
recommended that at least three adult persons assemble it.  
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS  
Follow these installation requirements when installing the EFX. If you do not  
install the EFX according to the following guidelines, you could void the Precor  
limited warranty.  
Set up the EFX on a solid, flat surface. Unpack and assemble the EFX close  
to where you’ll use it.Make sure that the flat surface under the unit is smooth and  
level. A level unit is required for the user’s safety and for proper operation.  
Provide ample space around the unit.Open space around the unit makes  
for a safer mount and dismount.  
Fill out and mail the limited warranty card. Be sure that the EFX is turned  
OFF.To locate the serial number, kneel down alongside the EFX and look for  
a label inside the rear cover. Write the serial number onto the Precor limited  
warranty card found on the back cover of this manual. Refer to Obtaining  
Service on page 2 and write the number(s) there as well.  
Use the appropriate voltage,dedicated circuit,and grounding as specified  
on the EFX546. The EFX546 is available in 120-volt and 240-volt models.Refer  
to the identification label next to the I/O switch to determine the voltage, power  
cord, and plug that your EFX546 requires. Make sure that the EFX546 is con-  
nected to a power outlet that has the same configuration as the plug.  
CAUTION: Use the appropriate power cord and plug for your unit. Do not  
use a non-grounded outlet. Electrical damage can occur if the EFX546 is  
connected to an improper power source.  
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS  
You do not need any special knowledge or experience to set up an EFX546, how-  
ever, you will need assistance and appropriate tools.To assist you in the assem-  
bly, the items in the hardware kit, shown in Diagram 1, correspond to a particular  
letter in the alphabet. These letters appear throughout the assembly instructions.  
Refer to Diagram 1, as needed.  
1. Unpack the EFX546. Remove the packing materials and loose contents  
(upper console assembly with display console, hardware kit, clamp covers,  
handrails, and power cord) from inside the cardboard pockets and from around  
the base frame assembly.  
2. Pull the large cardboard piece away from the base frame assembly.  
Ask for assistance to move the EFX546 off the shipping pallet.You may need  
to cut the tie wraps that hold the base frame and roller arms to the pallet.  
3. Move the unit to the location where you plan to use it. Once you attach  
the handrails, the EFX is difficult to move through a standard door frame.  
Make sure that you assemble the unit where it will not have to be moved  
through any doorways. Verify that the EFX is unplugged and turned OFF.

CAUTION: Since the EFX546 has two different models (120v and 240v  
units), check the label near the unit’s power receptacle to determine the  
voltage requirements. Use an appropriate power cord. Do not remove or  
otherwise bypass the 3-prong plug with an adapter in order to use a non-  
grounded outlet. Do not plug the EFX546 into a power transformer in an  
attempt to adjust the voltage requirements. Failure to follow these  
instruction’s might damage the unit and void Precor’s limited warranty.  
14. Plug the EFX546 into a grounded outlet. Be sure to use the appropriate  
voltage requirements. Refer to Grounding Instructions on the front cover.  
TURNING THE EFX546 ON AND OFF  
Use the ON/OFF (I/O) power switch to turn the unit ON and OFF. This switch is  
located at the rear of the unit, near the power cord receptacle. Refer to Diagram 9.  
CAUTION:Never remove or bypass the 3-prong plug on the unit’s power cable  
with an adapter. Do not use a non-grounded outlet. Do not plug the EFX into  
a power transformer in an attempt to adjust the voltage requirements.

SETTING A WORKOUT TIME LIMIT  
You can limit how long a user works out by setting a duration between 1 and 240  
minutes.The EFX also lets you choose “no limit” which allows the user to select a  
course and work out indefinitely. (Note that the user must enter a workout time of  
0 using the numeric keys at the EnterTime prompt before he or she can workout  
“indefinitely.) If the club setting is “no limit” and the user enter “0” at the Enter  
Time prompt, then the Time Remaining display does not appear when a user  
works out. (An exception to this rule is the Weight Loss Course.)  
Note:The Quick Start program is automatically limited to 30 minutes. However, if  
a user presses Quick Start at the Precor banner, and the Club program has  
limited WorkoutTime to less than 30 minutes, than that duration takes effect.  
Use the ▼▲ keys to select a workout time limit. For example, if you set the work-  
out time limit to 20 minutes, the EFX allows users to specify a workout between 1  
and 20 minutes. Users would not be allowed to specify a time longer than 20  
minutes.  
Note: Take into account that the user will get an additional 5-minute cool down  
period appended to his or her workout, so adjust the time limit accordingly.  
SETTING A PAUSE TIME LIMIT  
Setting a Pause time limit is useful because the EFX exits the course and returns to  
the Precor banner at a predetermined interval after the user stops pedaling.  
Use the ▼▲ keys to set a Pause time limit between 1 and 120 seconds (2 minutes).  
VIEWING THE ODOMETER, HOURS OF USE, SOFTWARE  
VERSION AND ERROR LOG  
The display console keys that you need to press to view the odometer, the  
number of hours the EFX has been in use, the software version and any error  
codes, are as follows:  
Reset, Resistance , Resistance ▼  
Important: Remember to begin at the Precor banner. After pressing Reset, the  
next key in the sequence must be pressed within 1/2 second.  
The field name Odometer appears briefly and then the odometer value (the  
cumulative strides that users have travelled) appears.  
Press Enter and the number of hours (Hour Meter) that the unit has been in  
use appears. The EFX notes the passing of each 10th of an hour, but the nu-  
meric value that appears is truncated to the nearest full hour.  
Press Enter again and the unit’s three digit SoftwareVersion (upper and lower)  
appears on the display.

TOP DISPLAY WINDOWS  
Smart Rate®: You must enter your “Age” (during the course Setup prompts), and  
wear a POLAR® chest strap (or hold onto the Heart Rate “touch” sensitive hand-  
rails), while in a course program, before the blinking segment in the bar graph can  
show the zone that your heart rate is in, either: Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.  
Weight Loss Zone: Maintaining your heart rate between 55% and 70% of  
your maximum aerobic heart rate, helps burn enough calories that, when  
continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes or more, provides the greatest  
fat-burning results.  
Cardiovascular Zone: Maintaining your heart rate between 70% and 85%  
of your maximum aerobic heart rate, helps you (when continued on a regu-  
lar basis for 30 minutes or more) improve your overall cardiovascular/car-  
diorespiratory fitness level.  
Important: During a course, your heart rate must be above 40 beats per  
minute before the segment begins to blink. If the EFX has the heart rate  
touch-sensitive electrodes on the handrail, you don’t need to wear a  
POLAR® chest strap. However, you will need to grasp the electrode strips.  
Note that pressing Quick StartTM disables the Smart Rate® display feature.  
HEART RATE: The heart rate display lets you monitor your heart rate. When a  
heart beat is detected, the number appears in the small upper right display  
(refer to Diagram 11) and blinks in time with your pulse. If you did not purchase  
the Precor Heart Rate Touch option or are not wearing a POLAR® chest strap,  
your heart rate will not be detected and no pulse rate appears. Refer to The  
Heart Rate Feature on page 32.  
CENTER DISPLAY WINDOW  
The Precor banner and course profiles appear in the large center display (LED  
matrix).Always start a workout at the Precor banner.During workouts, the course  
profile appears in the center display and corresponds to the program you se-  
lected. As you proceed through your workout, your position is indicated by a  
blinking cell.  
ELONGATED CENTER DISPLAY  
Prompts appear in this display prior to your workout.You address each prompt  
using the numeric or keypad keys. Once you begin a workout, lights appear in  
the columns below the window indicating which information is being displayed.  
You can highlight a particular feature by pressing the appropriate Change key.  
The following describes the information that can appear in the display.  
TIME: During your workout, a time (0:00) display appears when you begin work-  
ing out. Time appears in minutes and seconds. However, should you exceed 60  
minutes (during a single workout), the Time display converts to hours and min-  
utes.The Time display shows how long you’ve been working out. Even when you  
enter your cool-down period, the Time display provides the cumulative duration  
of your workout.

STRIDES: Shows the total number of strides completed. A stride is an exagger-  
ated walking movement. On the EFX, if you start in a position with one foot  
forward and one foot back, a stride is completed when you move the rear foot all  
the way forward while the forward foot moves to the rear.  
STRIDES PER MINUTE: Displays your current pedaling speed. The number will  
always be even since two strides create one complete revolution of the flywheel.  
CALORIES: Provides the cumulative number of calories being burned.  
REMAINING TIME: Indicates the amount of time, in minutes and seconds  
(mm:ss), that remain in the course. When you enter a cool down period, the  
Remaining Time resets to 5 minutes, and begins counting down from there.  
Note: If a course has no designated time limit (the club has set the Workout  
Time Limit as “No Limit”) and you input 0 using the numeric keys at the Enter  
Time prompt), then the Time Remaining field does not appear. See Club Infor-  
mation on page 17.  
DISTANCE: The distance that you have travelled appears when you select this  
feature. Distance appears in 100th mile increments and can also appear in  
kilometers. (See Club Information on page 17.) The number shown in the dis-  
play is not a conversion of strides, but relates closely to the user’s expenditure  
of energy. The energy level is derived from the user’s current MET’s value and  
converted to an equivalent linear distance.  
WATTS: Indicates the amount of energy the EFX is currently generating and is  
derived from the current resistance and pedaling speed.  
CALORIES PER MINUTE: Indicates the approximate number of calories being  
burned per minute.  
SEGMENT TIME: In the Manual or preprogrammed courses, this display indi-  
cates the amount of time, in minutes and seconds (mm:ss) that remains in the  
highlighted column (or segment) of the course profile before the cell at the top of  
the next column begins blinking. If the course being used is Interval or Weight  
Loss, then the number appearing in this display indicates the amount of time that  
remains in the current interval.  
CROSS RAMPTM: Displays the current ramp incline.The Cross Ramp and ▼  
keys let you set an incline between 1 and 20. Once a course is begun, you can  
also use the numeric keys to designate the incline setting. Refer to Numeric  
Keys on page 25.  
Note: You can check the incline (when it is not the chosen display) any time  
during your workout by lightly pressing either Cross Ramp or key for less  
than 2 seconds. Pressing the Cross Ramp or key for more than 2 sec-  
onds causes the ramp incline to change.

RESISTANCE: Displays the amount of resistance being applied to the foot ped-  
als. The Resistance and keys let you set a resistance between 1 and 20  
which affects the amount of resistance applied by the brake. Once a course is  
begun, you can also use the numeric keys to designate the resistance. Refer to  
Numeric Keys on page 25.  
Note:You can check the resistance (when it is not the chosen display) any time  
during your workout by lightly pressing either Resistance or key for less  
than 2 seconds. Pressing the Resistance or key for more than 2 seconds  
causes the resistance level to change.  
METS: Displays the metabolic units associated with your workout.  
KEYS ON THE DISPLAY CONSOLE  
The EFX has an easy-to-use keypad that is activated by the slightest touch.  
Remind users that they only need to apply gentle pressure to these ultra-sensi-  
tive keys.  
Each key on the display console’s keypad provides specific functions. Numeric  
keys (numbered 1 - 0) let you enter data in answer to the display prompts and  
change the ramp incline or resistance level during a workout. The standard keys,  
Change, Reset, Cross Ramp ▲▼, Quick Start, Resistance ▼▲, and Enter, let  
you enter data as well as control your workout.  
The following information explains the different uses of the keys from left to  
right. To locate each key, look at the display console or refer to Diagram 12.  
Numeric keys: Indicates the  
course #, time limit, weight, or  
age. During a workout, use these  
keys to select a target ramp  
incline or resistance level.

KEYPAD TIPS  
Accurate entries are required or features such as Smart Rate® will not  
work properly.  
Answer the Setup prompts using the numeric keys or by pressing the or ▲  
keys.  
Press Enter to select the information being displayed.  
Pressing Quick Start bypasses further selections and prompts you to work-  
out in Manual mode. Default values apply (see QUICK START on page  
26). The Smart Rate® display does not appear.  
A time-out occurs during the Setup prompts if the EFX detects no key  
presses for 2 minutes. The display returns to the Precor banner.  
Press Reset to return to the Precor banner.  
Numeric Keys (1 - 0): During a workout, you can use the numeric keys to change  
the ramp incline or resistance levels (from 1 through 20). Remember, if you use the  
numeric keys to alter the incline or resistance, you need to designate, within  
3 seconds, whether you are increasing (by pressing the key) or decreasing (by  
pressing the key), the corresponding ramp incline or resistance level.  
Note:When you use the numeric keys to change the incline or resistance, the actual  
setting appears on the display while the ramp is moving or the brake is being  
applied.If you wish to halt the change, the appropriate Cross Ramp or key or  
Resistance or key.The ramp stops moving or the brake stops applying resis-  
tance (respectively) and the display shows the current level.  
During the Setup prompts, you can also use the numeric keys to type in a course  
number (1 through 8), workout time, weight, and age. Note that you must press  
Enter to process your selection.  
CHANGE: During a workout, the Change key lets you choose which feature  
appears on the display.  
RESET: While you are answering the Setup prompts or when you are working  
out, you can cancel the course program, clear the display, and return to the  
banner by pressing Reset.  
CROSS RAMP ▲▼:During a workout, the Cross Ramp ▲▼ keys let you increase  
or decrease the ramp incline. The incline changes can range from 0 to 20. The  
incline in some courses (Cross Training, Gluteal, and Interval) is preset, but can be  
overridden by the user. In the Weight Loss courses, the incline may change auto-  
matically to maintain a designated target heart rate.  
When you press the Incline ▲▼ keys, the number that appears on the display  
shows the target incline (not the actual incline) because the display can change  
much faster than the motor driven lift.

Another feature of the Incline ▲▼ keys lets you review the ramp’s incline any  
time during your workout. If CROSS RAMP is not one of the chosen features  
being displayed, you can view the actual incline by lightly touching either Cross  
Ramp or key.You can opt to change the incline, if you hold the key down  
for more than 2 seconds.  
Note: The numeric keys can also be used to adjust the incline. Please refer to  
Numeric keys on page 25.  
RESISTANCE ▼▲: During a workout, the Resistance ▼▲ keys let you de-  
crease or increase the force applied against your stride.The display can show a  
range from 1 to 20. Setting #1 provides the least resistance.  
When you change the resistance by pressing the Resistance or key, the  
number that appears on the display shows the target resistance (not necessarily,  
the present resistance being applied) because the display can change much faster  
than the mechanical brake.  
Another feature of the Resistance ▼▲ keys lets you review the EFX’s resis-  
tance any time during your workout. If RESISTANCE is not one of the chosen  
features being displayed, you can view the actual resistance by lightly touch-  
ing either Resistance or key.You can opt to change the resistance, if you  
hold the key down for more than 2 seconds.  
Note: The numeric keys can also be used to adjust the resistance. Please refer  
to Numeric keys above.  
ENTER: Workout specific prompts need to be answered and “entered” into  
memory. Pressing Enter selects the information displayed and processes it.

Exercising on the EFX  
Once the EFX is assembled and turned ON, it is ready to use. The easy-to-under-  
stand prompts let you select a course and specify how long you want to work out.  
Begin working out and then, adapt the resistance level to meet your fitness goals.  
CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, have your physician give  
you a complete physical examination.  
USING THE HEART RATE “TOUCH” CAPABILITY  
If your club purchased the PrecorTouch Heart Rate option, “touch-sensitive” elec-  
trode strips are part of the handrails. If you wish to view your heart rate on the  
display, grasp the touch-sensitive electrode strips on the handrails while working  
out. Your heart rate signal is transmitted to the receiver installed in the display  
console. During your workout, the heart rate indicator lights and blinks at the  
same rate as your pulse. This lets you see what your heart rate is doing even  
when the display is presenting other workout statistics. For more information,  
refer to The Heart Rate Feature on page 32.  
Important: When you step on to or off of the foot pedals and when you use the  
display keys, always grasp at least one of the stationary handrails to help keep  
your balance.  
WORKOUT TIPS  
The steps to working out on the EFX are listed on the opposite page. A short  
explanation appears on the left with the more thorough description following on  
the right. Tips to consider during your workout are shown below.  
CAUTION:Before beginning any fitness program, obtain a complete physi-  
cal examination from your physician.  
Check that the unit is turned ON. The I/O switch is located at the rear.  
Answer Setup prompts using numeric keys or by pressing the or keys.  
Press Enter to select the information being displayed.  
Quick Start bypasses further selections. Default values apply (see QUICK  
START on page 26). Smart Rate® is not active.

COOLING DOWN AFTER A WORKOUT  
Cooling down is an important aspect of your workout because it helps reduce  
muscle stiffness and soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the work-  
ing muscles. Cooling down for at least 3 minutes helps provide a smooth transi-  
tion that allows your heart rate to return to its normal (non-exercising) state. The  
EFX automatically initiates a 5-minute cool-down period once you complete a  
course that has a specified time duration. A prompt appears, indicating that you  
are in cool down.  
During your cool down, the workout statistics continue to appear. The TIME dis-  
play shows the accumulated time which includes warm-up and cool-down peri-  
ods.When you complete the 5-minute cool down, aWorkout Summary appears.  
See the information below.  
Important:To activate a cool-down period, a course must “end.” The course ends  
when the workout Time (entered during the Setup prompts) expires. If no workout  
Time entry occurred, then (from a software perspective) no time limit exists, so a  
cool-down period is not appended to the course. (However, club time limits still apply  
whether or not a workout Time was entered.)  
PAUSE, COOL DOWN AND EXIT FEATURES  
Pausing, cooling down, and exiting are integral parts of your workout and can be  
accessed any time during a course. The EFX goes through several prerequisites  
before actually exiting a course.The following tables explain the various situations.  
In a course,  
This is what happens...,

tance is reduced by 20%.You can adjust the setting using the  
numeric or Resistance ▼▲ keys.The display features remain,  
so you can review your workout statistics.  
Note: A Cool-down period is appended to those courses  
that have a finite duration. If you do not enter a Workout  
Time during the Setup prompts, or the club has set “no limit”  
as the default duration, then a cool-down period does not  
occur when you reach the end of a course.

Courses  
The EFX lets you choose between 8 variable courses.This section provides infor-  
mation about the special features and functions of the EFX courses and how to  
best utilize the:  
• Heart Rate and Smart Rate® features  
• Cross Training and Gluteal courses  
• Interval course  
• Manual course  
• Weight Loss course  
Note: To choose a course, begin at the Precor banner and press Enter. User-  
friendly prompts guide you through the course selections. Refer to Quick Steps  
to Working Out on page 29.  
THE HEART RATE FEATURE  
To use the heart rate features you must wear the POLAR® chest strap or grasp  
the touch-sensitive electrode strips on the handrails while working out. A trans-  
mitter sends your heart rate signal to the receiver installed in the display con-  
sole. The signal appears as your pulse rate on the display. During your workout,  
the heart rate indicator lights and blinks at the same rate as your pulse. This lets  
you see what your heart rate is doing even when the display is presenting other  
workout statistics.  
Note:The Smart Rate® display does not appear if you use the Quick Start key  
to access a course. Refer to QUICK START on page 26.  
Important: The POLAR® chest strap is optional equipment and can be pur-  
chased through your dealer. The touch-sensitive electrode strips on the hand-  
rails are factory installed and must be purchased at “point of sale.”  
UTILIZING THE SMART RATE® FEATURE  
Add the benefit of Smart Rate® to every course on the EFX.Using Smart Rate® as  
a visual cue helps you adjust your exercise routine to suit specific needs. Smart  
Rate® simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise. You don’t have  
to stop concentrating on your workout to find your pulse. It is displayed right in  
front of you along with the Smart Rate® zone. Once you begin a course, a blinking  
segment in the bar graph appears on the left of the display, if you entered your  
age during the Setup prompts.The blinking segment indicates the zone that your  
heart rate is in: Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.  
Important: Access to Smart Rate® is only available when the person exercising  
wears a POLAR® chest strap or uses the touch-sensitive electrode strips on the  
handrails. (The POLAR® chest strap and the “touch” capability are separate  
purchase options.) The Smart Rate® indicator lights do not appear when Quick  
Start is used to select a course.

YOUR AGE  
For the ideal “weight loss” range, your heart rate should be between 55% and  
70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. It should never exceed 80% of your  
maximum aerobic heart rate or go above your training zone. Refer to  
Diagram 13 for your appropriate training zone.  
When you maintain your heart rate between 70% and 85% of your maximum  
aerobic heart rate, you are improving your overall cardiovascular/cardiorespira-  
tory fitness level. Maintaining your heart rate in either zone (weight loss or car-  
diovascular) for 30 minutes or more on a regular basis (minimum 3 times a  
week) provides the greatest benefits.  
MANUAL MODE AND THE QUICK START KEY  
Manual mode lets you determine the ramp incline and set the resistance level.  
As with other courses, when you complete the time limit set for the course, the  
automatic cool-down period begins.  
You can choose Manual mode in two different ways:  
pressing the Quick Start key at the Precor banner. Quick Start bypasses  
the remaining selections and starts the Manual course. Default values  
include a time limit of 30 minutes (or the Club setting, whichever is smaller),  
150 lbs. (68 kg.) and an age of 0. The Smart Rate® display is inactive.  
pressing Enter at the Precor banner. This causes the EFX to display sev-  
eral Setup prompts. At the course prompt, select #1 — Manual course.  
The Manual course profile appears as a flat line. Use the ▼▲ keys or the nu-  
meric keys to adjust ramp incline and the resistance level. (See page 25 for  
more information on the different key’s function.) As you proceed with your work-  
out, a blinking cell represents your position on the course.

CROSS TRAINING AND GLUTEAL COURSES  
The Cross Training and Gluteal courses consist of alternating segments of for-  
ward and backward pedaling movements that focus on working the thigh and  
calf muscle groups. Ask Club personnel about utilizing the benefits of this type  
of workout toward your fitness goals.  
The course profile is divided into 28 segments. The height of each segment  
reflects the changes (if any) made by you to the ramp incline level. Tough the  
incline is preset, you have complete control over the resistance. Any time during  
the course, you can override the incline setting by pressing a Cross Ramp ▲▼  
key. Prompts appear on the display indicating when you should change the  
pedaling direction.  
INTERVAL COURSE  
The interval course on the EFX lets you select the rest and work intervals according  
to your training regimen.You set the ramp incline and resistance level for first rest  
and work interval and the software repeats the intervals throughout the course. At  
any point during the workout, you can change the settings of the current interval by  
simply pressing the ▼▲ or numeric keys. The software remembers the new set-  
tings and applies it to the appropriate rest or work interval.  
Important: If you entered your Age during the Setup prompts and wear the  
POLAR® chest strap or utilize the “touch” heart rate, you can adjust the rest or  
work intervals to keep your heart rate in its recommended zone. For the weight  
loss mode, try to maintain your heart rate at the lower end (55% of maximum  
heart rate) while in the “rest” intervals and keep it at 70% of maximum heart rate  
while in the “work” intervals. See Diagram 13 on page 33.  
To use the interval course, take the following steps:  
1. Follow the instructions on page 29, Quick Steps to Working Out.  
2. At the course prompt, use the ▼▲ key or numeric keys to select the Inter-  
val course and then press Enter.  
3. Enter a workout Time.If the workout Time entered is an even number, then  
all intervals (rest and work) are 2 minutes long. If the workout Time entered  
is an odd number, then all intervals (rest and work) are 2 minutes long,  
except the last one which will be 1 minute.  
4. Press Enter to proceed to the next prompt. When you’re finished answer-  
ing the Setup prompts, the Interval course begins.

To set the incline or resistance level for each interval, take the following steps:  
1. When the Rest interval prompt appears, press the Cross Ramp ▲▼ key  
to change the incline or Resistance or key to change the resistance  
level. When the desired setting is displayed, simply continue working out—  
you do not need to press Enter.  
The EFX returns to the “rest” settings at the beginning of each rest interval  
until you readjust it or end your workout.  
2. The same procedure applies to specifying the settings for the work interval.  
The value that appears in the SEGMENT TIME field indicates the time remain-  
ing in the current interval. Each time the EFX changes intervals, it informs you  
by displaying a message. When you complete the time limit set for the course,  
the automatic cool-down period begins.  
WEIGHT LOSS COURSE  
The Precor Weight Loss course incorporates the latest findings on fat-burning  
and weight loss through exercise. It is based on research at the world-renowned  
Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research and it is designed to help you burn the  
most fat during a 28-minute workout, while minimizing the risk of discomfort and  
injury.The Weight Loss program is similar to the Interval course, but the intervals  
are set at 4 minutes. If you use the POLAR® chest strap or the touch-sensitive  
electrode strips on the handrail (both separate purchase options), try to keep the  
rest interval’s target heart rate at 55% of (220 - your age), while the work interval  
should be set to 70% of (220 - your age). As in the Interval course, once you set  
the resistance levels for the first rest and work interval, the EFX automatically  
repeats the interval settings throughout the course.  
Note: For the EFX to detect a heart rate, the user must wear the POLAR® chest  
strap or hold onto the touch-sensitive electrode strips on the handrail. The  
POLAR® chest strap and touch-sensitive handrails are optional equipment that  
can be purchased from your dealer. Refer to The Heart Rate Feature on page 32.  
To use the Weight Loss program, follow the steps found in Quick Steps to Work-  
ing Out on page 29.When the Course prompt appears, choose the appropriate  
course number. Refer to the course label on the display console.  
Important: During your workout, you can change the incline and resistance, but  
doing so will cause the effectiveness of the Weight Loss program to vary.  
Note: When you complete the 28-minute time limit set for the course, the auto-  
matic cool-down period begins.

Maintenance  
The EFX will continue to run smoothly and efficiently as long as you maintain it.  
You are responsible for typical maintenance tasks such as, cleaning the unit to keep  
it free from dust and dirt accumulation. If you fail to maintain the EFX as described  
below, it could affect or void the Precor limited warranty.  
CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT  
DANGER — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT FROM  
ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE CLEANING OR PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE TASKS.  
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.  
Everyday use a soft cloth, dampened (not dripping wet) in a solution of mild  
soap and water, to clean all exposed surfaces on the EFX. 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 ramp and roller  
wheel surfaces. Switch the foot pedal position to finish cleaning the ramp. Gen-  
tly, 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: Never pour water or spray liquids on the display console or the  
EFX. Allow the EFX to dry completely before using.  
Periodically, clean the groves on the foot pedals using a soft nylon scrub brush.  
Vacuum the floor underneath the unit every week to prevent the accumulation  
of dust and dirt.  
The Precor Heart Rate equipment requires little maintenance beyond keeping it  
dust free. Dampen a sponge or soft cloth in mild soap and water to wipe the  
touch-sensitive elements on the handrail or to clean the POLAR® chest strap.  
Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.  
STORING THE POLAR® CHEST STRAP  
Store the chest strap transmitter in a place where dust and dirt cannot accumu-  
late 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.  
SERVICING THE EFX  
Do not attempt to service the EFX yourself except for the maintenance tasks  
described in this manual. The unit does not contain any user-serviceable parts  
that require lubrication. For information about product operation or service, call  
888-665-4404.  
LONG TERM STORAGE  
When the EFX is not in use for any length of time, turn it OFF. Ensure that the  
power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet and is positioned so that it will not  
become damaged or interfere with other equipment or people.

warranty. All components that are not internally connected have a 90 days parts only limited warranty. Satisfactory proof  
of purchase is required in all cases.
