including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the EFX. These
instructions are written for your safety and to protect the

To reduce the risk of electrical shock
always unplug the EFX from the
electrical outlet immediately after using

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

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 grounding plug on the EFX 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.
