EFX: Cleaning the Ramp
Whenever the ramp becomes soiled, clean the exposed surfaces of
the ramp and roller wheels by taking the following steps.
Note: If your unit has a ramp cover, remove it before performing the
following steps. Refer to the EFX Assembly Guide.
1. Moisten a clean, soft cloth in a mild solution of soap and water.
2. Position one foot pedal at the top of the ramp (the other will
automatically be positioned at the bottom).
3. Clean the exposed portions of the ramp.
4. Gently lift the roller wheels. Rotate each wheel while wiping it with
the clean, soft cloth.
5. Switch the foot pedal position and finish cleaning the ramp.
Troubleshooting Error Codes
If an error code appears in the display, call an authorized service
person for assistance. Refer to Obtaining Service.
Note: On treadmills, try removing the error by cycling the power. Turn
the unit Off and then On. If the error code continues to appear, call an
authorized service person for assistance.
Troubleshooting Heart Rate
Table 7 may help you understand and troubleshoot erratic heart rate
readings.
Important: A heart rate can only be detected when the Precor heart
rate receiver is properly installed in the display. A user must wear the
chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips.
Table 7. Erratic heart rate readings
Note: To conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart, both
touch-sensitive handrail grips must be grasped firmly for five to ten
seconds. Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration
provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver in the
display console. However, because of body chemistry or erratic
heartbeats, some people cannot use the touch-sensitive heart rate
feature. A chest strap may provide better results.

the user’s heart rate appears.
