5. Check the belt tension of the step-up and drive belts.
6. Clean and lubricate the lift motor screw with an approved
grease such as SuperLube® with Teflon® or Mobil 1®
synthetic grease (adjustable-ramp models only).
7. Check all fasteners for proper tightness and torque.
8. Replace all covers.
9. Verify that the unit sits squarely on the floor. All of its feet
should be touching the floor and the unit should not rock
or wobble when in use. If not, re-level it as described in
Leveling the EFX.
Storing the Chest Strap
If you purchased the optional heart rate chest strap, store it in
a place where it remains free of dust and dirt (for example, in
a closet or drawer). Be sure to protect the chest strap from
extremes in temperature. Do not store it in a place that may
be exposed to temperatures below 32° F (0° C).
To clean the chest strap, use a sponge or soft cloth dampened
in mild soap and water. Dry the surface thoroughly with a
clean towel.
Moving the Equipment
The equipment is very heavy. If you plan to move it to a new
location, obtain the help of an adult assistant and use proper
lifting techniques. If the equipment includes roller wheels on
one end, use the wheels to reduce the load on yourself and
your assistant.
We recommend a four-wheeled dolly to move Elliptical
Fitness Crosstrainers.
Long-Term Storage
If you do not expect anyone to use the equipment for a long
time, perform the following tasks to prepare it for storage:
If it has a power cord, disconnect the cord.
If it has an optional power adapter, connect the adapter to
prevent damage to the internal battery.
Position it so that it will not become damaged and will not
interfere with people or other equipment.
