RFI — RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
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 A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a commercial 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. Operation of the EFX in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference. If this occurs, the user will be required to correct the
interference at his or her own expense.
CAUTION —
Canadian Department of Communications
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A 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 A prescrites dans le
Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le ministére des Communica-
tions du Canada.
EUROPEAN APPLICATIONS
This product conforms to the requirements of the European Council Directive 89/336/
EEC, Electromagnetic Compatibility and has been tested to the following standards:
EN55022, Limits & Methods of Measurement of Radio Interference, Information
Technology Equipment (Class A).
EN50082-1, Generic Immunity Standard for Residential, Commercial and Light
Industrial Products (Class A).
This product additionally conforms to the requirements of the European Council Directive
73/23/EEC, Low Voltage Directive and has been tested to the following standard:
IEC 335-1, Safety of Household and similar Electrical Appliances.
European Applications
This product has been tested to the requirements of EN55022, “Limits & Methods of
Measurement of Radio Interference, Information Technology Equipment.” Per that
standard, the EFX524 is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product
may cause radio interference, in which case the user is responsible to take adequate
measures to alleviate the interference.
Per FCC rules, changes or modifications to the EFX
not expressly approved by Precor, could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.

EFX®SELF-POWERED FEATURES
The power source for the EFX is the user.When a person works out on the EFX and
moves the foot pedals at a stride rate above 40 strides per minute, the power that
is generated allows the EFX to function properly.
Informational displays appear when the battery is low or when the user has stopped
pedaling during a workout. The display provides minimal instructions to let you
know what to do to retain power. If the messages are ignored, the EFX will begin
shutdown procedures to maintain the charge of the battery. Refer to page 33,
Informational Displays Prior to Shutdown .
An optional battery recharger can be purchased and provides sustained power to
the EFX. If you plan to customize your unit, the optional battery recharger is highly
recommended.To purchase the optional battery recharger, check with your dealer.
OBTAINING SERVICE
Do not attempt to service the self-powered EFX®yourself except for the
maintenance tasks described in this manual.The EFX does not contain any user-
serviceable parts. For information about product operation or service, contact an
authorized Precor Commercial Products Customer Support Representative at

You do not need any special knowledge or experience to set up the EFX. However,
because of the size and weight of the EFX, you will need to obtain appropriate
assistance during assembly.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Follow these installation requirements when installing the EFX.
Important: If you do not install the EFX according to the following guidelines, you
could void the Precor Limited Warranty.
•Set up the EFX on a solid, flat surface. Unpack and assemble the EFX close to
where you’ll use it. Make sure that the flat surface under the unit is smooth and
level. A level unit is required for the user’s safety and for proper operation.
Important: If you plan to move the EFX, do so before you install the hand-
rails. Ask for assistance to move the unit. Once the handrails are in place,
the unit is too wide to fit through a standard (32-inch) door frame.
•Provide ample space around the unit. Open space around the unit makes
for a safer mount and dismount.
•Fill out and mail the limited warranty card.The serial number is located on
a label at the rear of the unit near the optional battery recharger receptacle.
Write the serial number onto the Precor Limited Warranty card found on the
back cover of this manual. Refer to
Obtaining Service on page 7 and write the
number there as well.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
To assist you in the assembly, the items in the Hardware kit, shown in Diagram 2,
correspond to a particular letter in the alphabet. These letters appear throughout the
assembly instructions. Refer to Diagram 2 on page 10.
1. Obtain assistance. Place the shipping carton close to the location where you
plan to use the unit. Break down the side walls so that they lie flat.You may
need to cut the tie wraps that hold the base frame and roller arms to the pallet.
2. Unpack the EFX. Remove the packing materials and loose contents. Refer to
the list on page 9.
3. Move the unit to the location where you plan to use it. Once you attach
the handrails and base stabilizers, the EFX is difficult to move through a
standard door frame. Make sure to assemble the unit where it will not have to
be moved through any doorways.
CAUTION: Do not assemble the EFX if it is connected to the optional
battery recharger. Remove the battery recharger from the EFX, prior to
assembly.
