FTS Glide Assembly and Maintenance Guide: 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. 

 

Qualified technicians must perform all regular maintenance. 

 

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, loose 

hardware, or cracked weld. 

 

Strength training requires a significant focus by the facility and its staff to 

maintain the quality of the fitness environment. If possible, 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 staff member witnesses unsafe use of the equipment, he or she 

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 and level surface.  

 

This equipment is designed for a variety of exercises and has cable lengths 

that may exceed the minimum dimensions of this equipment. Provide 

sufficient space for use, access, and passage around the equipment. 

 

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 it is repaired.   

 

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 equipment 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. 

 

Do not place the equipment outdoors or on wet surfaces.
