EFX Features
The EFX is equipped with certain items that, when used properly, help
sustain an enjoyable workout. These items include:
• Self-powered features
• Stationary handrails with touch-sensitive handrail grips
• Moving handlebars for a total body workout
Important: Before exercising, review the Important Safety
Instructions found at the beginning of this manual.
Self-Powered Features
The EFX does not require an electrical power connection. It has an
internal battery that is recharged every time you exercise for a
reasonable period of time. A pedaling speed above 40 strides per
minute must be maintained for several seconds before information
appears on the display. Once the Precor banner appears, you can
press QUICKSTART or PROGRAMS to begin exercising. For more
information, refer to Workout Options.
Using the Stationary Handrails
To maintain your balance, always grasp a stationary handrail when you
step on or off the foot pedals, and when you use the keypads.
To learn more about the touch-sensitive handrail grips, refer to Heart
Rate Features.
Moving Handlebars Support the Total
Body Workout
The handlebars on the EFX576i and EFX556i provide an upper-body
workout which helps increase cardiovascular fitness. By adding the
total body movement to your cross training workout, you are actually
increasing your work effort and enhancing your overall fitness level.
The CrossRamp display indicates the muscles that are being affected,
which may help you increase the effectiveness of your workout. Refer
to More Information about the CrossRamp Display. For customized
workout routines, review the information found in Fitness Tools on the
Precor web site, www.precor.com.
