General Safety and Maintenance Manual: Before You Begin

7

Before You Begin

Precor recommends implementing a thorough maintenance program 
that incorporates regular safety inspections by qualified maintenance 
technicians as outlined in this manual.

This manual explains how to maintain the Precor Icarian line of 
commercial strength equipment. It provides information about items 
that need to be inspected and maintained on a daily, weekly, monthly, 
and annual basis. You should perform those tasks that are appropriate 
for the equipment you are maintaining, and skip those tasks that do 
not apply. To help you, a checklist is located at the back of this manual 
that you can follow during your maintenance checks to ensure that 
nothing appropriate is missed and that your inspection process is 
documented.

This manual covers the general maintenance procedures that you can 
perform in the fitness facility. However, if the equipment requires 
service beyond the maintenance procedures covered in this manual, 
refer to 

Obtaining Service

.

Important: 

Always purchase replacement parts and hardware from 

Precor. These parts are tested and manufactured specifically for the 
Precor Icarian line of commercial strength equipment. If you use parts 
not approved by the manufacturer, you could void the Precor Limited 
Warranty. Use of parts not approved by Precor may cause injury.

Precor recommends that maintenance technicians thoroughly read 
and understand the safety guidelines and maintenance procedures 
covered in this manual.

Note: 

If the equipment requires assembly, a separate assembly guide 

is provided. For information on how to use a piece of equipment, refer 
to the instructional label found on the equipment.
