Section One - Things You Should Know

Right, Left, Front, and Back Conventions

In this manual, right, left, front, and back are from the perspective of a user standing on the EFX,

facing the display enclosure.

General System Information

• The ramp operating system has a battery monitoring system. If the battery voltage falls

below 11 Vdc when ramp movement is initiated or the battery voltage falls below 10 Vdc

after ramp movement has been initiated, ramp movement will be stopped and the message

“NO RAMP LOW VOLTAGE” will be displayed. Ramp motion will not be enabled until such

time as the battery voltage exceeds the above limits.

• The generator performs three functions in the EFX. First, by controlling the amount of

electrical load applied to the generator, the user’s pedalling resistance is controlled.

Second, the generator is used to charge the EFX’s internal battery. Lastly, one of the

generators three phase output windings is monitored to determine when the unit is in use

and when it is idle. This system also determines the stride rate by determining the operating

speed (output frequency) of the monitored generator winding.

Warning and Caution Statements and General Safety Guidelines

Warning statements indicate a particularly dangerous activity. Warning statements you will find in

this manual include:

• If the EFX has been in recent use, the load resistors and load resistor mounting bracket may

be extremely hot.

• Because this is a self powered unit, it will either be necessary to either equip the unit with

the optional external power supply or have an assistant pedal on the unit while voltage

measurements are being taken. Because of the danger of working on the unit while it is in

motion using the optional external power supply is strongly recommended.

• When the unit is used, stairarms are in motion, the generator will operate and produce

potentially hazardous voltages even when the battery is disconnected.

• To remove power from the EFX, the optional external power supply (when equipped) must

be disconnected from the wall outlet and the red (positive) lead must be disconnected from

the battery. Always ensure that the EFX external power supply is unplugged from the wall

outlet and the red (positive) lead is removed from the battery when you inspect or adjust the

EFX, or when you isolate, remove, or replace an EFX component.

• Removing the covers exposes high voltage components and potentially dangerous

machinery. Exercise extreme caution when you perform maintenance procedures with the

cover(s) removed.

• During service operations you will be very close to moving machinery and voltage bearing

components. When you perform maintenance procedures with the covers removed, remove

jewelry (especially from ears and neck), tie up long hair, remove neck ties, and do not wear

loose clothing.

• Exercise caution when touching any wire or electrical component during EFX operation.

• A pinching hazard exists when the unit is operated by turning the crankarms by hand. It is

possible to seriously pinch a finger between the crankarm and stairarm. The stairarms

should be removed before operating the crankarms by hand.

• Caution statements are intended to prevent damage to the EFX as a result of the current

activity. Caution statements included in this manual are listed below:

• When it is necessary to lift or move the EFX, ensure that the EFX has adequate support and

that you use proper lifting techniques.

Safety guidelines you should know and follow include:

• Read the owner’s manual and follow all operating instructions.

• Operate the EFX on a solid, level surface.

• Visually check the EFX before beginning service or maintenance operations. If it is not

completely assembled or is damaged in any way, exercise extreme caution while operating

and checking the EFX.

• When operating the EFX, do not wear loose clothing. Do not wear shoes with heels or

leather soles. Check the soles of your shoes and remove any embedded stones. Tie long

hair back.

• Do not rock the unit. Do not stand or climb on the handlebars, display enclosure, or cover.

• Do not set anything on the handlebars, display enclosure, or cover. Never place liquids on

any part of the EFX, while performing service.

• To prevent electrical shock, keep all electrical components away from water and other

liquids.

• Do not use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer-such

attachments might cause injuries.

Section Two - Preventive Maintenance

Preventive maintenance measures are either scheduled or unscheduled. Scheduled preventive

maintenance activities are included here so that you are aware of preventive measures

performed on a regular basis.

Regular Preventive Maintenance (Owner)

Cleanliness of the EFX and its operating environment will keep maintenance problems and

service calls to a minimum. Precor recommends that you perform the following preventive

maintenance schedule.

After Each Use

• Unplug the optional external power supply (when equipped) from the AC outlet.

• Wipe down the covers, handlebars, stairarm wheels and stairarm ramps with a damp cloth.

Daily Maintenance

Clean the EFX’s frame, covers, stairarms, stairarm ramps and stairarm wheels using water or a

30:1 solution of Simple Green®and water. Wipe the surface of the electronic console with a

damp sponge or soft cloth. Dry with a clean towel. A 30:1 solution of Simple Green®and water is

the only cleaning solution that has been tested and approved for use on the C542i ramps. Use of

any other cleaner, may cause degradation of the ramp anodizing and void the ramp warranty.

The use of an acid (citric) based cleaner will cause ramp anodizing damage and is not authorized

by Precor.

Weekly Maintenance

• Vacuum underneath the EFX, following these steps:

1. Unplug the optional external power supply (when equipped) from the AC outlet.

2. Place the EFX on its side.

Note:

Place a drop cloth under the EFX to protect the flooring and to ensure that the EFX handrail

is not scratched or damaged.

3. Vacuum the rug or damp mop the floor.

4. Make sure that the floor is dry before returning the EFX to an upright position.

2. Check the step up and input belt alignment and tension as in Procedure 5.2.

3. Replace the rear cover.

On-Site Preventive Maintenance (Service Technician)

When you are called to service a EFX, perform these preventive maintenance activities:

• Perform the software diagnostics. Check LED and keypad function. Record the odometer

reading.

• Check speed sensor function (is the stride rate displayed when the unit is in operation?). If

not, see Procedure 6.4.

• Visually inspect the drive belts for cracks, fraying or excessive wear.

• When furnished, inspect the optional power supply cords. If a power supply cord is

damaged, install a new power supply.

• Visually examine all wires and check connectors and wire connections. Secure connections

and replace wiring as necessary.
