General Safety and Maintenance Manual: Important Safety Guidelines for Owners 1
IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES
Important Safety Guidelines for Owners
Follow these guidelines to maintain proper working condition of the
equipment:
Important: Do not modify the equipment or any of its parts, or
permanently remove any part from the equipment. Do not use
accessory attachments that are not recommended by Precor, as
such attachments might cause injuries.
• Qualified technicians must perform all regular maintenance.
• Check that all fasteners are securely tightened. Cables should be
secured at both end connections and properly threaded. Weight
stacks should be secure and functioning properly. Handle
attachments should be properly connected.
• Make sure that trainers, facility personnel, and maintenance
technicians understand how to use the equipment, know
important safety guidelines, and can recognize potential
problems such as a worn cable, loose hardware, or cracked
weld.
• Strength training requires a significant focus by the facility and its
staff to maintain the quality of the fitness environment. If possible,
the facility should provide direct supervision of the fitness
equipment at all times by people knowledgeable about the safe
operation of the equipment and trained to recognize potential
problems.

General Safety and Maintenance Manual: Important Safety Guidelines for Owners 2
IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES
• If any staff member witnesses unsafe use of the equipment, he or
she should address the user directly, demonstrate the proper
technique, and review the Important Safety Information for
Users. Precor recommends posting a copy of the Important
Safety Information for Users near the equipment in a prominent
location.
• Make sure the equipment is stable and placed on a solid, level
surface. The equipment is designed to be freestanding; however,
it can be bolted to the floor for extra stability. Precor highly
recommends that the equipment be bolted to the floor to reduce
the risk of toppling the equipment due to improper use. Since
floor construction varies, please consult a professional building
engineer for proper fastening.
• Locate the equipment at least 40 inches (1 meter) away from
walls or furniture on either side of the equipment, and 40 inches
(1 meter) away from objects behind the equipment. For
Functional Training equipment, make sure that the operating
space is large enough to allow the cables to be fully extended in
all possible directions.
• Check the equipment thoroughly based on the recommended
inspection schedules outlined in this manual, including daily,
weekly, monthly and annual checks. Ensure all bolt connections
are tight and that the threaded cables are properly and tightly
secured at both ends.
• Place an “out-of-order” sign on the equipment during
maintenance of the equipment or the surrounding area. Users
should never be allowed to operate the equipment until it has
been inspected and works properly. If a piece of equipment
needs service, keep it out of use until it is repaired.
