IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before You Begin

Thank you for adding the Precor Cardio Theater Integrated LCD Screen Option to your EFX®. This option will add a new dimension to your workout.

For proper installation, please read this guide thoroughly and follow the assembly instructions.

Obtaining Service

For information about product operation or service, refer to the Precor web site at www.precor.com. Should you need more information regarding customer support numbers or a list of Precor authorized service centers, visit the Precor website at www.precor.com/contact.

Unpacking the Equipment

The Cardio Theater Integrated Bracket for the LCD Screen is shipped in one box with the following items:

• Bracket assembly

• Power extension cable

• Four Phillips-head screws

• Rubber adapter mounts

If any items are missing, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the unit or call a Precor Commercial Products Customer Support Representative.

Important: To complete the assembly of the Cardio Theater Integrated Bracket, you need the Cardio Theater LCD Screen Option, which is shipped in a separate box. Included with the screen are two cables (coaxial/power cable and controller cable), which you will need during the assembly process.

Important Safety Instructions

When using exercise equipment, basic precautions should always be taken, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the unit. These instructions are written to ensure your safety and to protect the equipment.

• Use the equipment only for its intended purpose. Do not use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer, as such attachments might cause injuries.

• Always check the unit before each use. Make sure that all fasteners and cables are secure and in good working condition.

Important: The important safety instructions written here reflect a portion of what is found in the Precor EFX owner’s manuals. Please review and follow the safety instructions found there.

Preparations

Important: To attach the Cardio Theater Integrated Bracket, ask another adult for help. Do not attempt the assembly by yourself.

Remember to read and follow the instructions in this guide. If you do not assemble the Cardio Theater Integrated Bracket according to these guidelines, you could void the Precor Limited Warranty.

Required Tools

Obtain these tools before assembly:

• Standard hex key set

• Standard socket set

• ½-inch box wrench or crescent wrench

• Flat head screwdriver

• Phillips-head screwdriver

• Power drill with a ⁷⁄₈-inch drill bit

• Standard torque wrench

Installation Requirements

Review these installation requirements before assembly:

• The Cardio Theater Integrated Bracket is built to VESA MIS-D, 100/75 standard interface specifications.

• Provide ample space around the EFX. Open space around the unit allows for easier access and installation.

• Open the box and assemble components in the sequence presented in this guide.

• Leave room for adjustments. Tighten fasteners (bolts, nuts, and screws) so the unit is stable, but leave room for adjustments. Do not fully tighten fasteners until instructed in the assembly steps to do so.

Assembly Tips

• Read all the notes on each page before completing that step.

• While you may be able to assemble the Cardio Theater Integrated Bracket using the illustrations only, important safety notes and other tips are included in the text.

• Refer to the EFX owner’s manual for torque wrench specifications. The handrail clamp and upright support fasteners are not fully secure until tightened using a torque wrench.

The assembly of the Cardio Theater Integrated Bracket takes about ½ hour to complete.

5. Remove the four fasteners securing the upright support.

Use a ¼-inch hex and ½-inch box end wrench to remove the fasteners. Keep the fasteners together and within easy reach.

Important: Ask someone for help before completing the next step.

6. Separate the display console from its bracket.

Ask your assistant to hold the display console while you remove the four screws from the back of the display console bracket using a ⁵⁄₃₂-inch hex key. If the display console slides off the display console bracket, its weight can place excessive pressure on the data cable.

7. Remove the plastic plug.

Use your thumbs to pop the plastic plug from the display console bracket. Discard the plug.

Note: If no plug exists in the display console, you will need to drill a hole using a ⁷⁄₈-inch drill bit and electric drill.

8. Attach the power extension cable to the power connector on the coaxial/power cable.

Locate the coaxial/power cable provided with the LCD Screen. One end of the coaxial/power cable has three connectors; the other end has two connectors. Attach the power extension cable to the power connector on the end with the two connectors (coaxial and power).

9. Feed the coaxial/power cable with its connectors through the display console bracket.

Insert the coaxial/power cable with its two connectors up through the hole in the display console bracket.

10. Feed the coaxial/power cable with its connectors through the upright support.

Note: Leave about 3 feet (1 meter) of the coaxial/power cable with its three connectors (coaxial, power, and DVD) hanging out of the hole in the display console bracket. This portion of the cable will be fed through the bracket assembly before it is attached to the back of the display console.

Ask your assistant to release pressure on the upper support and realign the mounting holes between the upper and lower supports.

CAUTION: Be careful! A height adjuster screw protrudes inside the base tube. Cables can get caught and fingers scratched on the screw threads.

15. Pull the cable and its connectors out of the lower support and base tube.

Note: Remember to leave about 3 feet (1 meter) of cable hanging out of the hole in the display console bracket.

CAUTION: The next step requires the use of a drill and the safety considerations that go along with operating power tools. Protect the work surfaces. Take the necessary steps to avoid injury to yourself or damage to the surrounding area and equipment.

16. Drill a hole in the end cap.

Use the ⁷⁄₈-inch drill bit to drill a hole through the center of the end cap.

17. Feed the cable and its two connectors through the hole in the end cap.
