Personal Safety

• Check the EFX5.17 before each use. Completely assemble the unit before using it.
• Assemble and operate the EFX on a solid, level surface. Locate the EFX a few feet
from walls or furniture to provide access to the ON/OFF (I/O) switch.
• A wheel lock provides an added security feature. Placed in the ramp, it secures the
roller arm when the roller arm wheel is set into it. Note that you must remove this
locking mechanism prior to working out.
• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your workout—no loose clothing.
• Use care when getting on or off the EFX. Use the handrails whenever possible.
Never step off the unit while the foot pedals or ramp are still moving.
• Keep your body facing forward. Never attempt to turn around on the EFX.
• Do not rock the unit, or stand on the handrails, display console, or front or rear casing.
• Keep all electrical components, such as the power conversion module, power cord,
and I/O switch, away from liquids to prevent shock. Do not set anything on the handrail,
display console, or hood. Place liquids only in the appropriate receptacles.
• Do not attempt to service the EFX yourself other than the assembly and mainte-
nance instructions found in this manual.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion.
• If you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms, stop your workout immediately and
consult your physician.
The Precor EFX is designed for your enjoyment. By following the above precautions and
using good common sense, you will have many safe and pleasurable hours of healthful
exercise with your Precor EFX.

Information Regarding International Use

Federal Communications Commission, Part 15
The EFX5.17 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 instruc-
tions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If the EFX does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the EFX 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 EFX 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 that the EFX is connected to.
• Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
