However, moving components such as belts, gears, and bearings can settle while the equipment is being stored or shipped. This can cause the equipment to operate with a small amount of roughness or noise when it starts up for the first time. The equipment usually returns to smooth operation after a day or two of normal use.
Chapter 2 Installing the Console To make installation easier, all Precor Experience Series consoles use the same mounting hardware and connector locations whenever possible. The installation sequence for any of them is as follows: Threading the cable assembly Connecting cables Completing the installation (tightening the mounting screws and attaching the back cover) The following sections describe how to perform these tasks.
34 Assembling and Maintaining Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainers: EFX 883 / 833 / 823 Important: Before you begin the following procedure, remove the rear cover from the control console. To remove the cover, use your fingernails to pry the lower edge loose, then swing the cover up and out as shown in the following illustration. Figure 22: Removing the access cover from the P80 console To thread the cable assembly: 1.
35 Installing the Console 3. Rest the console on the console mount so that the notch on the bottom of the console’s back plate rests on the rectangular hook at the bottom of the console mount, as shown in the following figure. Figure 23: Console positioning on base unit 4. Tilt the console forward until it stops. Use one hand to steady the console in this position, or ask your assistant to do so.
36 Assembling and Maintaining Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainers: EFX 883 / 833 / 823 Connecting Cables (P80) After the console has been seated, separate the individual cables out of the end of the cable assembly and attach them to the appropriate circuit connectors inside the console. Refer to the following diagram and table to identify the cables and connectors.
37 Installing the Console Table 1.
38 Assembling and Maintaining Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainers: EFX 883 / 833 / 823 Connecting the Television Cable The console’s television tuner is mounted inside the console’s back plate. The tuner includes a short cable adapter that allows the television cable to be connected outside the back plate. To connect the television cable: 1. Pull the cable out through the lower right corner of the back plate. 2. Route the cable counterclockwise around the outside of the back plate. 3.
Installing the Console 39 Connecting the Ethernet and Base Unit Data Cables Both the Ethernet and base unit data cables pass through the cutaway opening at the upper right corner of the back plate and connect to nearby modular jacks in the console. Because of this, it is important to exercise caution when connecting the cables. The black Ethernet cable connects to a jack just underneath the perforated metal bracket at the very top of the opening in the console.
40 Assembling and Maintaining Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainers: EFX 883 / 833 / 823 Connecting the Heart Rate Sensor Cable The heart rate sensor cable passes through the cutaway opening at the upper left corner of the back plate, then down to the small circuit board at the lower left of the console. The following illustration shows how the cable should look once it is installed.
