Cleaning the Equipment

Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside
the covers. However, for efficient operation, the EFX
relies on low friction. To keep the friction low, the
unit's rollers, ramp, foot pedals, handlebars, and covers
must be as clean as possible.
Precor recommends the EFX be cleaned before and
after each workout to remove dust, dirt, water, and
sweat. Use mild soap and water to dampen a soft cloth
and wipe all exposed surfaces.
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will
weaken the paint or powder coatings and void the Precor
Limited Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on
any part of the EFX, and remove any accumulated sweat
from the EFX after use. Allow the EFX to dry completely
before using it again.
Frequently vacuum the floor around the unit to prevent
the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the
smooth operation of the unit. Use a soft nylon scrub
brush to clean the foot pedals.

Storing the Chest Strap

Store your chest strap in a place where it remains free
of dust, dirt, and moisture, such as in a closet or
drawer. Be sure to protect the chest strap from
extremes in temperature. Do not store it in a place that
may be exposed to temperatures below 32° F (0° C).
To clean the chest strap, use a sponge or soft cloth
dampened in mild soap and water. Dry the surface
thoroughly with a clean towel.

Long-Term Storage

When the equipment is not in use for any length of
time, turn it off. Make sure that the power cord is
unplugged from its power source and is positioned so
that it will not become damaged or interfere with
people, furniture, or other equipment.
