Sudden failure of a worn cable can cause severe injury to a user. Refer to Obtaining Service to purchase replacement parts. Inspect the cables and end connections each day, and replace if damaged.
The following figure shows an example of a user instructional label. Figure 3: Cable bolt must have a minimum of ten threads into the selector stem Check Warning and Instructional Labels Inspect warning and instructional labels daily to make sure that all the information can be clearly read.

Even with proper use, you assume a risk of injury when using this type of equipment. • Before beginning a fitness program, see your physician for a thorough physical examination. • Do not allow children on or near this equipment.
Weekly Inspection This section covers the tasks you should perform each week to maintain the equipment. Perform the following tasks as appropriate for the unit you are maintaining: • Condition and deep clean upholstery. • Clean and lubricate cable rod ends. • Clean and lubricate guide rods. Clean and Lubricate Cable Rod Ends Check cable rod ends to make sure the shoulder bolts are secure. If cable rod ends are noisy, lubricate them with a silicone spray lubricant.
Clean and Lubricate Guide Rods Inspect Cables, Connections, and Tension Inspect the exposed areas of the guide rods for cleanliness. Using a dry cloth, wipe any buildup of dirt or grease from the rods. Each week, give the cables and connections a thorough inspection and check cable tensions.
Inspect Pulleys Precor uses precision ball bearing idler pulleys to guide the cable smoothly. Inspect and Lubricate Bearings and Bushings Inspect each pulley for damage, including hairline cracks, chips, or missing sections. Worn surfaces in the pulleys can cause severe damage to the cables and must be replaced at the first sign of wear or damage. Precor uses high quality bearings designed for strength applications and long service life.
• Linear Bearings: These bearings allow weight plates and other mechanical parts to travel smoothly along guide rods. (Refer to the following figure.) Inspect the ends of each guide rod to make sure they are fastened correctly and all bolts are tight. Wipe down guide rods using a light application of a silicone spray lubricant to remove dust, hair, and dirt. Polish the guide rods using fine grade steel wool if surface rust is present. Important: Do not use petroleum-based lubricants.
Monthly Inspection This section covers the tasks you should perform each month to maintain the equipment. Perform the following tasks as appropriate for the unit you are maintaining: To remove surface rust from the frame, rub lightly with a fine wet/dry sandpaper or fine steel wool. Finish with Precor touch-up paint if needed. Maintain paint luster with an application of a mild automotive wax product. • Inspect frames and movement arms.
Lubricate Pop Pins Inspect All Fasteners Pull out the pop pin as far as it goes and apply a small amount of silicone spray lubricant. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a cloth. (Refer to the following figure.) Fasteners can loosen with normal use. Inspect all nuts, bolts, screws, and other fasteners to make sure they are tight and installed correctly. CAUTION: Pulling out the pop pin may cause the unit to adjust position suddenly. To avoid injury, keep your hands and head away from moving parts.
Annual Maintenance Perform these tasks on an annual basis, as appropriate for your equipment. Inspect and Lubricate Pop Pins Remove the pop pin assembly by loosening the cap.
