General Safety and Maintenance Manual: Annual Maintenance

25

Annual Maintenance

Perform these tasks on an annual basis, as appropriate for your 
equipment:

Weight Stack Annual Maintenance

Once a year, Precor recommends disassembling the weight stack to 
clean and inspect it thoroughly.

• Carefully remove the cable and guide rods from the weight stack. 

Completely disassemble the weight stack in a well-ventilated area, 
away from the exercise floor.

• Inspect weight plates and clean them thoroughly. Cracked or 

broken plates should be replaced immediately (refer to 

Obtaining 

Service

 to purchase replacements). Clean each plate individually 

and inspect guide bushings.

• Inspect the bushings of the top weight plate and each individual 

weight plate and replace a plate if it is excessively worn or broken.

• Clean the selector stem and inspect it for wear and damage.

• Reassemble the weight stack. 

• Wipe down the weight stack enclosures (shrouds) with a damp 

cloth as needed. Inspect all fasteners to ensure the shroud is 
securely mounted.

Important: 

Precor recommends that you replace worn and damaged 

cables during routine maintenance. It is recommended that all cables 
be replaced annually.
