IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Instructions
When using an electrical appliance, always take basic
precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the EFX®. These
instructions are written to ensure your safety and to
protect the unit.
• Before beginning any fitness program, see your physician
for a complete physical examination.
Il est conseillé de subir un examen médical complet avant
d’entreprendre tout programme d’exercise. Si vous avez
des étourdissements ou des faiblesses, arrêtez les
exercices immédiatement.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock
always unplug the EFX from the
electrical outlet immediately after
using and before cleaning.
To reduce the risk of burns, fire,
electric shock, or injury, take the
following precautions:
• Do not allow children or those unfamiliar with its
operation on or near the EFX. Do not leave children
unsupervised around the unit.
• Never leave the EFX unattended when it is plugged in.
Unplug the EFX from the power source when it is not in
use, before cleaning it, and before putting on or taking off
parts.
• Assemble and operate the EFX on a solid, level surface.
Locate the EFX a few feet from walls or furniture.
• Maintain the EFX in good working condition. Refer to the
Maintenance section. Make sure that all fasteners are
secure.
• Use the EFX only for its intended purpose as described
in this manual. Do not use accessory attachments that
are not recommended by the manufacturer, as such
attachments may cause injuries.
• Never operate the unit if it is damaged, not working
properly, when it has been dropped, or has been
dropped in water. Return the EFX to a service center for
examination and repair.
• Keep the power cord and plug away from heated
surfaces.

follow the maintenance instructions found in this manual.
• Never drop or insert objects into any opening. Keep
hands away from moving parts.
• Keep all electrical components, such as the power cord

to turn around on the EFX.
• Do not rock the unit. Do not stand on the handrail(s),
display console, or casing.
• Never place your hands or feet in the path of the roller

occur to the equipment.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. If you
feel any pain or abnormal symptoms, stop your workout

Owner’s Manual: Important Safety Instructions 3
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Grounding Instructions
The EFX must be grounded. If the unit malfunctions or
breaks down, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current, which reduces the risk of electrical
shock. The unit is equipped with a power cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Failure to properly ground the EFX could
void the Precor Limited Warranty.
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
unit is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the EFX.
If it does not fit the outlet, get a proper
outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
120 V Units Designated for U.S. Markets
The EFX uses a circuit with a nominal 120-volt rating.
The unit’s grounding plug looks like the plug shown in
Diagram 1. The power outlet must have the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used
with this product.

Owner’s Manual: Important Safety Instructions 4
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
Federal Communications Commission, Part 15
The EFX has been tested and found to comply with
• the IEC EMC Directive (international electromagnetic
compatibility certification)
• the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. The EFX generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the owner’s manual instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
If the EFX does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning
the unit OFF and ON, you are encouraged to try to correct
the interference using one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna for your TV,
radio, VCR, etc.
• Increase separation between the unit and the receiver
(TV, radio, etc.).
• Connect the EFX into a different power outlet on a
dedicated circuit different from the one used by the
receiver (TV, radio, etc.). No other appliance should be
plugged into the same power outlet as the EFX
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Per FCC rules, changes or
modifications not expressly approved
by Precor could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Canadian Department of Communications
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for
radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the
Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian
Department of Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits
radioéélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux
appareils numériques de la class B prescrites dans le
Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le
ministére des Communications du Canada.
