Inspect All Fasteners
Fasteners can loosen with normal use. Inspect all nuts, bolts, screws
and other fasteners to make sure they are tight and installed correctly.
Be sure to check fasteners at bolted joints to make sure the
connections are secure. If a fastener is loose but in good condition,
retighten it. If you are concerned about the integrity of the fastener,
remove it, clean the threads and inspect it for any damage such as
cracks, bad threads, corrosion, or rust. Reinstall the fastener if it
appears to be in good condition. Otherwise, remove the equipment
from service until a new fastener can be installed properly. You can
order new fasteners from Customer Support. For additional
information refer to
Obtaining Service .
Important: Fastener quality and specifications vary considerably.
Replace only with the Precor approved fastener specifically
engineered for the precise application. Failure to do so will void the
Precor Limited Warranty.
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, or deterioration of the cable
coating. Look for signs of wear particularly at crimped ends of the
cable and near pulleys. (Refer to Figure 1.)
Important: Cables must be replaced immediately if they are
damaged to avoid possible injury to users.
