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.

• Do not operate the EFX where aerosol (spray) products

are being used or where oxygen is being administered.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not attempt to service the EFX yourself except to

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

and I/O switch, away from liquids to prevent shock. Do

not set anything on the handrails, display console, or

casing. Place liquids, magazines, and books in the

appropriate receptacles.

The EFX must be connected to a

properly grounded outlet. See

Grounding Instructions.

• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your

workout and avoid loose clothing. Do not wear shoes

with heels or leather soles. Tie long hair back.

• Use care when getting on or off the EFX. Use the

stationary handrail whenever possible.

• Keep your body and head facing forward. Never attempt

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

arm because injury may occur to you or damage may

occur to the equipment.

• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. If you

feel any pain or abnormal symptoms, stop your workout

immediately and consult your physician.

• When the EFX is not in use, disconnect the unit by

turning the power switch to the OFF (O) position, and

then remove the power plug from the wall outlet.

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.

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.
