Daily Maintenance Tasks
Stability
Verify all equipment feet sit squarely on the oor.
Upholstery
Inspect upholstery pads for cracks in the pads, broken and loose stitching, loose staples and loose
mounting bolts. Replace pads as needed with Precor approved upholstery pads. To remove surface
dirt and perspiration, clean upholstery daily with a mild soap and water solution in a spray bottle.
Spray upholstered surfaces lightly and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Important To clean the upholstery, DO NOT use cleaning products that have any of these ingre-
dients: solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or petroleum. Use a mild detergent-based cleaner instead.
Frame
To remove grease and dirt, spray the frame daily with a mild soap and water solution and wipe dry
with a clean cloth. As you clean, inspect the frame for cracks, rust, or other damage. Make sure welds
are solid and fasteners are properly secured.
To restore and maintain the luster of chrome parts, use a commercial chrome cleaner.
Fasteners and hardware
Fasteners can loosen with normal use. Inspect all nuts, bolts, screws, and other fasteners to make
sure they are tight and installed correctly. Check fasteners at bolted joints to make sure the connec-
tions are secure. If a fastener is loose but in good condition, retighten it.
If you are concerned about the integrity of the fastener, remove it, clean the threads, and inspect it
for any damage such as cracks, bad threads, corrosion, or rust.
Reinstall the fastener if it appears to be in good condition. Otherwise, remove the equipment from
service until a new fastener can be installed properly. Contact Precor Customer Support to order new
parts at www.precor.com.
Important Fastener quality and specications vary considerably. Replace only with the Precor
approved fastener specically engineered for the precise application. Failure to do so will void the
Precor Limited Warranty.
Shroud
CAUTION To avoid damage to the shrouds, clean them according to the instructions in this
section. Use a clean, non-abrasive cloth and light pressure to avoid scratching the surface.
To clean the shrouds, Precor recommends mixing a few drops of mild dishwashing liquid in a gallon
of water and using it to wipe the equipment with a soft cloth. Wipe the soap off using another soft
cloth and clean water. The shrouds are easily scratched and damaged through improper cleaning
techniques. To avoid problems, dust the shrouds often with a clean, lint-free cloth and light pressure.
Avoid rubbing dirt or grit into the surface.
Important DO NOT use ketones, aromatics, esters, window cleaning sprays, alcohol, kitchen
scouring compounds, ammonia-based cleaning solutions or solvents (such as acetone, benzene,
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, or thinners).
Cables and end connections
CAUTION Carefully inspect the cables, pulleys, fasteners, and related hardware regularly.
Replace any cable at the rst sign of wear using only Precor-supplied replacement parts. With
regular use, a cable can become worn and might fail. Sudden failure of a worn cable can cause
severe injury to a user. Contact Precor Customer Support to purchase replacement parts.
Inspect the cables and end connections each day, and replace if damaged. Check for kinks, frayed
wires, or deterioration of the cable coating. Look for signs of wear particularly at crimped ends of the
cable and near pulleys.
Important Cables must be replaced immediately if they are damaged to avoid possible injury to
users.
Some obvious signs of cable damage are:
Exposed inner wire, stretching or cuts in the coating, or broken coating in the area that passes
over a pulley.
A zigzag or wavy pattern.
Kinks, which may indicate internal damage.
A necked-down cover.
A “ballooned” cover.

WARNING
Weekly Maintenance Tasks
Perform all checks listed under Daily Maintenance Tasks plus the following tasks.
Upholstery
Condition and deep clean the upholstery weekly with a lanolin-based hand cleaner or upholstery
cleaner.
Primary recommended cleaner: Formula 409 All-Purpose Spray Cleaner
Secondary recommended cleaners: Lysol Clean and Fresh Multi-Surface Cleaner; Lestoil Heavy Duty
Cleaner; Mr. Clean/Flash Clean and Shine; and Eco Touch All Purpose Premium Care.
Important To clean the upholstery, DO NOT use cleaning products that have any of these ingredi-
ents: solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or petroleum. Use a mild detergent-based cleaner instead.
Weight stack guide rods
On RSL strength equipment, the shroud may need to be removed to access the guide rods for inspec-
tion, cleaning, and lubricating (refer to the Assembly Guide shipped with the unit).
WARNING DO NOT lubricate the guide rods when the equipment is in use. Lubricating between
the weight plates without complete disassembly of the stack will result in serious injury.
Inspect the exposed areas of the guide rods for cleanliness. Using a dry cloth, wipe any buildup of dirt
or grease from the rods.
Lubricate the exposed areas of the guide rods by applying a light coat of Tri-Flow Superior Lubricant.
Spray the lubricant on a cloth and then wipe the guide rods with the cloth. Be careful with any lubri-
cant spray; it can stain carpet and clothing.
Important DO NOT use petroleum-based lubricants. These lubricants tend to cause a rapid buildup
of dirt and hair on the weight plates which can cause the plates to stick together.
Cables, connections, and tension
Give the cables and connections a thorough inspection and check cable tensions.
• Check the cable termination at the weight stack. Make sure there is no more than 1.61-inch-
es (41 mm) between the underside of the jam nut and base of the bolt head. If required, ad-
just appropriately and then make sure the locking jam nut is tight against the selector stem.
• Check the cable, especially near the pulleys, wheels, and cams.
• Check the cable where it terminates at the cam, which is stationary on most equipment.
Inspect the pin passing through the cam end tting to be sure the retainer ring is fully
inserted into the grooves. In addition, check the entire cable routing to verify that there is no
interference with any equipment parts.
• Inspect the ball end of the cable where the cable connection rests in the clevis housing. This
will require sliding the ball past the connection of the termination and cable.
• Check cable pulleys, end connections, and end ttings. Make sure all connections are tight,
adjusting cable tension as necessary.
• Make sure that each cable is properly adjusted and tightened at the top of the weight stack.
To adjust the cable tension:
1. Insert the cable bolt into the selector stem until the cable meets the following requirements:
• The top weight begins to separate from the second weight.
• The selector pin is easily inserted into each of the weight plates.
• The add-on weight engages when the latch is in the down position.
• At least six threads on the cable bolt extend into the selector stem.
2. Tighten the locking bolt against the selector stem to 50 ft-lb (81 N-m) of torque.
3. Lift the top weight to relieve any cable twist and check the adjustment by inserting the weight
pin into every weight plate hole. The weight pin should slide easily in and out of each weight
plate.
Note The cable should be tight and the add-on weight should be selected when the lever is in
the down position.
4. Check cable pulleys, end connections, and end ttings. Make sure all connections are tight,
adjusting cable tension as necessary.
5. The distance from the underside of the bolt head to the underside of the jam nut should be no
more than 1.61-inches (41 mm).
Weight stack and selector pin
Weight stacks are made of precision machined plates that are designed as a single mechanism to
stack precisely. Use only Precor-supplied add-on weights and weight selector pins.
Inspect weight stacks and selector pins. Wipe each plate with a damp cloth as needed. Inspect all
plates for sharp burrs or damage. Wipe dirt and dust off the guide rods.
In addition, ensure the selector pin can be fully inserted and retained in each weight plate.
Pulleys
Precor uses precision ball bearing idler pulleys to guide the cable smoothly. 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 rst sign of wear or damage.
Be certain that the wheels turn freely as the equipment is used. Inspect each pulley for excessive side-
to-side play, which indicates worn bearings or loose mounting bolts. If excessive play is discovered,
remove the pulley to inspect the bearings and replace the entire pulley if necessary.

Seat adjustment
The seat adjustment mechanism requires little maintenance. However, because seat safety is import-
ant to the safety of a workout, you should check the seat lever regularly to see if it sticks when used.
To test if the seat lever needs lubrication, elevate the seat slightly while pressing and releasing the le-
ver. The lever should snap back out easily. If the lever sticks, lubricate its pivot pin with Teon® spray
lubricant. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a cloth.
Inspect Gas Assist Shock on seat adjustment for leaks. Replace if necessary.
Bearings and bushings
Precor uses high quality bearings designed for strength applications and long service life. To maintain
the bearings and bushings on the equipment, complete the following:
• Bronze bushings: To lubricate the bushings that support the rotary shafts, Precor recommends
using a small amount of Teon® spray lubricant. Spray directly onto the shaft, and then rotate
the shaft through its complete range of motion several times. Inspect bushings for excessive
wear and damage. Be careful when using the spray lubricant; it can stain carpet and clothing.
Wipe off any excess lubricant with a cloth.
• Polymeric bushings: Lubricate the polymeric bushings on the guide rods by applying a light coat
of Teon® spray lubricant. Spray the lubricant on a cloth, then wipe the cloth along the full length
of the guide rod. DO NOT use petroleum based lubricants on Polymeric bushings.
• Sealed Bearing Pivot Points: These locations are protected from the outside environment and
require no lubrication. While cleaning the equipment, wipe down the shafts and external bearing
surfaces with a cloth to prevent the buildup of dust and perspiration.
• Linear Bushings: These bushings allow mechanical parts to travel smoothly along guide rods.
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 Teon® spray lubricant to remove dust,
hair, and dirt.
Monthly Maintenance Tasks
Perform all checks listed under Weekly Maintenance Tasks plus the following:
Frames and movement arms
Inspect frames and movement arms monthly for proper function and integrity. Check for cracks,
chipped paint, or rust. Touch up dings and chips in the paint as needed. Replace any component at
rst signs of wear.
Note You can order touch-up paint from Precor Customer Support.
Inspect frames for cracks, particularly at the joints. If any cracks are found, take the equipment out of
service immediately and have a Precor-certied technician repair it.
To remove surface rust from the frame, rub lightly with a ne wet/dry sandpaper or ne steel wool.
Finish with Precor touch-up paint if needed. Maintain paint luster with an application of a mild auto-
motive wax product.
To maintain the powder coated, plated, and chrome parts, use a mild detergent-based cleaner for light
dirt and grime removal. For removing heavier dirt and grease and for polishing, use a good automo-
tive polish. For scuffs and marks that are not removed by the above methods, use a ne-grit cleanser.
DO NOT use solvents, lacquer thinner, acetone, or ngernail polish remover.
Pop pins
Pull out any pop pins as far as they can and apply a small amount of Teon® spray
lubricant. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a cloth (refer to the gure below).
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.
Test the pop pin for proper function and engagement in each adjustment hole.
Yearly Maintenance Tasks
Perform all checks listed under Monthly Maintenance Tasks plus the following:
Shroud
The RSL includes a weight tower shroud that must be removed to perform the maintenance described
in this manual.
Important DO NOT remove the shroud while the equipment is in use.
To remove the shroud, refer to the Assembly Guide included in your documentation. Perform the
assembly steps in reverse to remove the shroud. Perform the necessary maintenance. When you are
nished, replace the shroud.
Weight stack
Once a year, Precor recommends disassembling the weight stack to clean and inspect it thoroughly.
This will require removal and replacement of the weight tower shroud - refer to the Assembly Guide.
• Carefully remove the cable and guide rods from the weight stack. Completely disassemble the
weight stack in a well-ventilated area, away from the exercise oor.
• Inspect weight plates and clean them thoroughly. Cracked or broken plates should be replaced
immediately. Clean each plate individually and inspect guide bushings.
• Inspect and clean the inside of the bushings of the top weight plate and each individual weight
plate, and replace a plate if it is excessively worn or broken.
• Clean the selector stem and inspect it for wear and damage.
• Reassemble the weight stack.
• Wipe down the weight stack enclosures (shrouds) with a damp cloth. Inspect all fasteners to
make sure the shroud is securely mounted.
Important Precor recommends that all cables be replaced annually. Additionally, worn or
damaged cables discovered during regular maintenance should be replaced at that time.
Pop pins
Inspect for proper function, excessive wear and damage, and replace as required. The pin should
move freely and rmly pop into any indexing features.
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.
Pull out the pin and apply a small amount of Teon® spray lubricant to the exposed shaft and plung-
er. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a cloth.
Ball bearings
If your equipment contains linear ball bearings, lubricate them with an NLGI grade 2 EP grease by ap-
plying a thin coat of grease on the shaft below the bearings. Move the bearings and repeat application
on opposite side.
