GETTING STARTED
Precision Series and Energy Series ELLIPTICALS
As you get to know your new Precor Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer™
(EFX®) and your own fitness goals, you’ll use the advanced features
of the equipment more often. To begin with, though, here’s an easy
way to start out.
WARNING: Read through ALL of the safety information
in the Owner’s Manual, and make sure that the EFX is
properly connected to the electrical supply in your house,
before you use the EFX.
NOTE: These instructions assume that your EFX has been completely
installed and set up.
To get started with your new Precor EFX:

then Home.

Safety Approvals for
Cardiovascular Equipment
Precor equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the following applicable safety standards.
Important Safety Instructions
Cardiovascular Type Equipment:
 CAN/CSA, IEC 60335-1 (Household and similar
electrical appliances - Safety)

Precision Series / Energy Series Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer Owner's Manual: EFX 447 / 245
Grounding Instructions
The equipment must be grounded. If the equipment
malfunctions or breaks down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current, which
reduces the risk of electrical shock. The equipment is
equipped with a power cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. Failure to properly ground
the equipment could void the Precor Limited Warranty.
DANGER
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service
person if you are in doubt as to whether
the unit is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the
equipment. If it does not fit the outlet, get
a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
4
120 V Units Designated for North
American Markets
The unit must be connected to a grounded circuit. The
power outlet must have the same configuration as the
plug. No adapter should be used with this product.

(RFI)

Federal Communications Commission,
Part 15

This fitness equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. The
equipment 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.
If the equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the unit off and on, you are encouraged to
try to correct the interference using one or more of the
following measures:
Important Safety Instructions


Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna for your
TV, radio, VCR, DVR, etc.
Increase separation between the unit and the
receiver (TV, radio, etc.).
Connect the equipment into a different power
outlet on a dedicated circuit different from the one
used by the receiver (TV, radio, etc.). No other
appliance should be plugged into the same power
outlet as the equipment.
Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
WARNING
Per FCC rules, changes or
modifications not expressly
approved by Precor could void the
user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
