Experience Strength™ C-Line Owner’s Manual: Daily Inspection

Inspect Cables and End Connections
CAUTION: Carefully inspect the cables, pulleys, fasteners, and related
hardware regularly. Replace any cable at the first 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. Refer to
Obtaining Service
to purchase replacement parts.
Inspect the cables and end connections each day, and replace if damaged.
Check for kinks, frayed wires, deterioration of the cable coating, and broken
thimbles. 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 as follows:

In addition to inspecting the cables and end connections for damage, check
the following:
• Make sure that each cable is properly adjusted and tightened at the top of
the weight stack.
• Check cable pulleys, end connections, and end fittings. Make sure all
connections are tight, adjusting cable tension as necessary.
• Make sure that the cable bolt is threaded a minimum of ten threads into
the selector stem, and the locking jam nut is tight. (Refer to the following
figure.)

coating in the area that passes over a pulley
