i TM
CAUTION: Before using the EFX ® , read all these instructions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
 Do not allow people unfamiliar with its operation
or children, on or near the unit.
 Consult with your physician and receive a
thorough physical examination. Know your
physician-recommended heart rate
target zone.
 Always face the display and use the
stationary handrail for balance. Never
attempt to turn around on the EFX.
 If you feel pain, faintness, or
dizziness, stop exercising
immediately.
The Locking Pin on the
Roller Arm
The locking pin on the EFX
ramp secures the roller arm
and prevents it from
continuous travel up or
down the ramp. To prevent
unauthorized use, secure
the roller arm with the locking
pin after every workout.
Pull firmly on the pin to slide
it out of the roller arm. A lanyard
attaches the locking pin to the
ramp. Store the locking pin
underneath the ramp once it
is removed from the roller arm.
Workout Tips
 Before and after a workout, gently stretch
your lower body and back to help prevent
stiffness or soreness.
 At the beginning of a workout, take several
minutes to bring your heart rate into your
target zone (shown in Diagram D on the
other side of this card).

Depending on your level of fitness, consider
maintaining a pedaling speed between 100
and 150 strides per minute. Do not drop
below 20 strides per minute during a workout
or you enter pause mode.

To pause during your workout, stop pedaling.
Pause mode has a 10-minute limit.
 Incorporate a cool-down period into your
workout to help lower your heart rate and
minimize muscle stiffness or soreness.
