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.
• Regular maintenance must be performed by qualified technicians.
• 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 or cracked
weld.
• Strength training requires a significant focus by the facility and its staff to
maintain the quality of the fitness environment. 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.
• If any facility personnel witness unsafe use of the equipment, the staff
member 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, equipment can be
bolted to the floor for extra stability. Consult a qualified general contractor
for proper fastening methods.
• Make sure that the equipment is installed with enough free space for safe
operation. With most equipment, the general rule is to allow about a 4-foot
(1.2 meters) circle of space from the user’s center. 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.
• 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 repaired. Place
an “out-of-order” sign on the equipment and make sure the facility’s
personnel know not to allow anyone to use the equipment until it is
working properly.
• When working with the weight stacks, do not attempt to free any jammed
assemblies alone as this may cause injury. With the help of another
person, carefully return the weight stack to the proper position with the
top plate resting on the first weight.
• Do not allow the equipment to be used if the top plate or weight stack is
pinned in a raised position. With the help of another person, carefully
return the machine to the proper position with the top plate resting on the
first weight. Inspect the cable to make sure that it is seated in all of the
pulleys.
• Whenever a weight can drop and hit a user, such as with an Olympic
bench, Precor highly recommends that a helper or spotter be used.
• Do not place the equipment outdoors or on wet surfaces.
