CAUTION: Before using the EFX, read all these
instructions. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
• Do not allow children or those unfamiliar with its
operation, on or near this equipment.
• Before beginning any fitness program, see your
physician for a thorough physical examination.
Seek advice from your physician to learn the
target heart rate appropriate for your
fitness level.
• 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
from use. 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 an exercise session, gently
stretch your lower body and back to help prevent
stiffness or soreness.
• At the beginning of an exercise session, take
several minutes to bring your heart rate into your
target zone (shown in Diagram A on the other side
of this card).
• To display your heart rate, use both hands to grasp
the touch-sensitive grips.
• To pause during your workout, stop pedaling. Pause
mode has a 10-minute time limit.
• Incorporate a cool-down period into your exercise
session to help lower your heart rate and minimize
muscle stiffness and soreness.
