Vitality™ Benches and Racks Maintenance Guide
Important safety guidelines for owners
Follow these guidelines to maintain proper working condition of the equipment:
CAUTION: Do not modify the equipment or any of its parts, or per-
manently remove any part from the equipment. Do not use accessory
attachments that are not recommended by Precor, as such attachments
might cause injuries.
lRegular maintenance must be performed by qualified technicians.
lMake 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 cracked weld.
lStrength training requires 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.
lIf any facility personnel witness unsafe use of the equipment, the staff member should address
the user directly, to demonstrate the proper technique, and review with the users the Import-
ant Safety Information for Users. Precor recommends posting a copy of the Important Safety
Information for Users near the equipment in a prominent location.
lMake sure the equipment is stable and placed on a solid surface. The equipment is designed to
be freestanding; however, it can be bolted to the floor for extra stability. Precor highly recom-
mends that the equipment be bolted to the floor to reduce the risk of the equipment toppling
due to improper use. Since floor construction varies, please consult a professional building
engineer for proper fastening.
lLocate 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.
lCheck the equipment thoroughly based on the recommended inspection schedules outlined in
this manual, including daily, weekly, monthly, and annual checks.
lPlace an “out-of-order” sign on the equipment during maintenance of the equipment or the
surrounding area, and make sure the facility’s personnel know not to allow anyone to use the
equipment until it has been inspected and works properly. If a piece of equipment needs ser-
vice, keep it out of use until repaired.
lDo not attempt to free any jammed assemblies alone as this may cause injury. With the help
of another person, carefully return the mechanism to its proper resting position.
lDo not place the equipment outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Safety approval
Precor commercial strength equipment is designed and tested according to EN 957-1, 2, 4 standards.
Important safety information for users
Before beginning any fitness program, you should obtain a complete physical examination from your
physician.
French equivalent of the preceding paragraph, for the Canadian market: Il est conseillé de subir un
examen médical complet avant d’entreprendre tout programme d’exercise. Si vous avez des étour-
dissements ou des faiblesses, arrêtez les exercices immédiatement.
When using exercise equipment, you should always take basic precautions, including the following:
lIf you do not understand how to operate a piece of equipment, ask someone from the facility
such as a trainer to demonstrate how to use it and explain any safety instructions.
lDo not allow children on or near the equipment. Do not leave children unsupervised around
the equipment.
lUse the equipment only for its intended purpose. Do not use accessory attachments that are
not recommended by the manufacturer, as such attachments may cause injuries.
lWear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your workout—no loose clothing.
lDo not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. Use reasonable judgment when working with
weights. Avoid using excessive weight, which may cause injury.
lIf you feel pain or abnormal symptoms, stop exercising immediately and consult your phys-
ician.
lKeep head, limbs, fingers, and hair clear of all moving parts while the equipment is in use.
Keep hands clear of racking pegs.
lNever drop or insert objects into any opening in the equipment.
lAlways check the equipment before using it. If you spot a potential problem, contact someone
in the facility immediately. Do not use the equipment until the facility has verified that the
equipment is working properly. Do not attempt to fix broken or jammed equipment.
lDo not use the equipment outdoors or on wet surfaces.
lDo not use the equipment if an "out of order" sign has been placed on it.
lRead all posted instructions, including all safety instructions and warnings.

This manual covers the general maintenance procedures that can be performed in the fitness facility.
However, if the equipment requires service beyond the maintenance procedures covered in this
manual, refer to Obtaining Service. During maintenance, place an “Out Of Order” sign on the
equipment.
IMPORTANT It is the duty of the owner to maintain equipment in
accordance with the instructions in this material and any accompanying
material. Always purchase replacement parts and hardware from Precor. If
you use parts not approved by Precor, you could void the Precor Limited
Warranty. Use of parts not approved by Precor may cause injury.

metric sizes)
• Ratchet handle • 12-inch adjustable wrench
• Torque wrench (range of 5 to 75 ft-lb) • Rubber mallet

Daily maintenance
lEquipment Stability: Verify all equipment feet sit squarely on the floor and that the unit is
stable.
lClean Upholstery: To remove surface dirt and perspiration, spray upholstery daily with a mild
soap and water solution and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not use cleaning products that
have any of these ingredients: solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or petroleum.
lInspect Upholstery Pads for Wear: 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.
lClean and Inspect Frames: To remove grease and dirt, spray the frames daily with a mild soap
and water solution and wipe dry with a clean cloth. As you clean, inspect the frames for cracks,
rust, or other damage. Make sure welds are solid and fasteners are properly secured.
lCheck Warning and Instructional Labels: Inspect warning and instructional labels daily to
make sure that all the information can be clearly read. If any portion is not visible or part of
the label is not adhered properly, replace that label immediately. Spray labels as needed with
a mild soap and water solution, and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Weekly maintenance
lCondition and Clean Upholstery: Condition and deep clean the upholstery weekly with a lan-
olin-based hand cleaner or upholstery cleaner.
lClean Chrome: To restore and maintain the luster of chrome parts, use a commercial chrome
cleaner.
Monthly Maintenance
lInspect Frames and Movement Arms: Inspect frames and movement arms for proper function
and integrity. Inspect frames and joints for cracks, chipped paint, or rust. If cracks are found,
take the equipment out of service immediately and have a qualified maintenance technician
repair it.
oTouch up dings and chips with paint and replace any component at the first sign of
wear. You can order touch-up paint from Precor by contacting Customer Support.
oTo 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.
oFor removing heavier dirt and grease and for polishing, use a good automotive polish.
For scuffs and marks that are not removed by the above methods, use a fine-grit
cleanser. Do not use solvents, lacquer thinner, acetone, or fingernail polish remover.
lInspect All Fasteners: Inspect all nuts, bolts, screws, and other fasteners to make sure they are
tight and installed correctly. Torque fasteners to the recommended values stated in the
Assembly Guide. Otherwise, remove the equipment from service until a new fastener can be
installed properly.
Important Fastener quality and specifications vary considerably so please replace them with Precor
approved fasteners specifically engineered for the precise application. Failure to do so will void the
Precor Limited Warranty.
lPop pins. Pull out any pop pins as far as they can and apply a small amount of Teflon® spray
lubricant. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a cloth. Test the pop pin for proper function and
engagement in each position and adequate tension on spring.
lAdjustments. Verify that adjustable frame members can be set to each position and that the
pop pin (or other retaining device) is fully inserted and secure at each position.
CAUTION Pulling out a pop pin may cause a unit to adjust position sud-
denly. To avoid injury, keep your hands and head away from moving parts.
