Precor EFX 5.17 User Manual

page 10
As simple as using the EFX5.17 Elliptical CrossTrainer might seem, you should read
this section so that you can use the EFX safely and effectively. This section of the
owner’s manual provides the basic information you need for exercising on your EFX,
including the following:
• using the wheel lock
• reviewing features on the display console
Note: Instructions explaining how to use the Precor Heart Rate Option are found in the
Precor Heart Rate Option Owner’s Manual.
Using the Security Feature
The wheel lock on the EFX’s ramp secures the roller arm and prevents it from travelling
up or down the ramp. To prevent unauthorized use, secure the roller arm with the wheel
lock after every workout.
Note: When you begin a workout, remove the wheel lock, replace the roller arm into the
ramp, and step onto the foot pedals. The foot pedals must complete one stride before
ramp and resistance changes are allowed. The foot pedals must stay in motion if you
wish to continue changes to the ramp and resistance settings.

Diagram 8 shows the location of the wheel lock on the ramp. Do not force the wheel
lock into position, it should slide easily into place along the edge of the ramp.
Understanding the Display Console
The display console lets you control your EFX session. As you work out, the electronic
display provides constant feedback about your progress. Information about elapsed
time, strides, total caloric burn, ramp and resistance settings, and heart rate (if you
purchased the Precor Heart Rate Option) is available at any time. When you install and
use the Precor Heart Rate Option, the POLAR
®
chest strap that you wear transmits a
signal which is picked up by the EFX5.17 software and displayed numerically (when the
Heart Rate indicator is lit).
CAUTION: Do not allow children on the
EFX. Be aware that injuries can occur
from the roller arm movement. Always
use the wheel lock to secure the roller
arm when the EFX is not in use.
