Begin assembly
DANGER DO NOT attempt to connect electrical power until all assembly procedures are complete and the console is properly installed.
To install the console mount:
Before you begin
this procedure, retrieve the electrical and communication cables for
the console that you plan to install on this EFX. These cables are shipped with the
console.
1. Position the display mount on top of the base frame and attach it using the four
bolts (see Figure 2). Fully tighten all bolts (torque=180 in-lbs, 20 N-m).
Figure 2
2. For touchscreen consoles: Group all four cables--communication, coax, power
extension supply, and Ethernet--and thread them upward through the center
column and out through the center opening in the console mount. Tape it to the
top of the console mount to secure it temporarily.
Note For non-touchscreen consoles,the communication cable is pre-threaded.
Important DO NOT stretch, crimp, or damage the cable.
Cables damaged by improper installation will not be covered by the Precor Limited
Warranty.

WARNING DO NOT allow cables to touch any moving parts around the lift motor body—lift screw, yoke, or ramp. Run
the ramp through its movement path a few times and have someone else watch to make sure no cables are
caught up or hanging loosely.
Depending on the site location and distance from an outlet, you might need to route the power supply either internally (below) or externally (see page 8).
To route the power supply internally:
1. Hook the Power Supply Bracket* onto the right upright support
(see Figure 4a).
* Included only in touchscreen console boxes
2. Coil up all cables—coax, power extension , and Ethernet—and hold
the power supply on the holder with one hand, and with the other
hand, thread a large zip tie around the upright support (see Figure 4b).
Note Make sure you thread the zip tie through the designated slots
in the power supply bracket .
3. Pull the zip tie tight only after you have reduced any slack by pulling
the cables tighter from the top.
4. Insert the grounding jumper in to the ground connector, and then
secure the cables inside each of the three cable clips attached to the
right upright support. Leave cable connectors loose until after the
lower panel is installed (see page 9).
