Stabilizing the Equipment
Once you have assembled the Smith Machine, test its stability by pushing
down on its corners. If the base frame rocks or wobbles, you need to adjust
the foot to stabilize it.
To stabilize the equipment:
1. Locate the round, adjustable foot at the lower back corner of the unit.
2. Using a 19 mm open-end wrench, turn the positioning bolt to the left or
the right to level the unit.
If you want to move
the adjustable foot ... Then turn the bolt ...
Upward
To the right
Downward
To the left
3. Continue to test the corners of the unit and
readjust the foot as needed.
4. Re-tighten the jam nut with an 18 mm
open-end wrench to 600 inch-pounds
(67.79 newton-meters).
5. Insert the frame end cap and secure it
using two M6 × 60 mm socket head
cap screws. Tighten the screws to
10 inch-pounds (1.12 newton-meters)
of torque.

Bolting the Equipment to the Floor
Precor recommends that the strength equipment be bolted down at all
anchoring points. Bolting is made possible by removing the end caps at the
frame base and exposing the mounting holes that accommodate the bolts
(see the accompanying figure). Replace end caps when bolting is complete.
CAUTION Place the weight bar in the bottom (lowest) position before
bolting the machine to the floor.
Note
The metal frame housing the adjustable
foot does not have an anchoring point.
Important
As floor materials vary, it is important
that you consult a licensed contractor to
advise you on proper bolting techniques and
appropriate fastener types.
Standards occasionally change or are updated. Precor recommends that you keep
apprised of your local industry standards. Precor shall not be held liable for failure
to properly bolt the strength equipment to the floor.

Disassembling the Smith Machine
If you need to move the Smith Machine, use the following procedure to disassemble and reassemble the equipment
before
attaching the weight bar and
weight horns.
WARNING
At least two people are required to assemble the equipment. DO NOT attempt this procedure by yourself.
Step Procedure
Using a 10 mm hex bit, remove the bolts that attach the bar to the
equipment.
Using a rubber mallet, tap the bar to loosen it from the frame.
With assistance, set the machine on the floor.
Using a 6 mm hex bit, remove the access cover and then remove the
bolts and washers that connect the upper frame to the base frames.
Using a 6 mm hex bit, remove the bolts and washers that connect
the base frames to the upper frame.
Remove the upper frame from the base frames.
Move the equipment frame pieces to where you want to reassemble
the equipment.
Step Procedure
Position the upper frame so that the connections are properly
aligned with the base frames.
Using a 6 mm hex bit, connect the front base frame to the upper
frame using the bolts and washers previously removed.
Important DO NOT tighten the fasteners until instructed to do so.
Using a 6 mm hex bit, connect the upper frame to the back base
frame using the bolts and washers previously removed.
With assistance, set the equipment upright.
Torque all frame bolts to 265 inch-pounds (29.94 newton-meters).
Using a 6 mm hex bit, attach the two access covers to the frame.
Torque each bolt to 30 inch-pounds (3.38 newton-meters).
Note
Take care not to drop the access cover into the tube.
Follow the procedures to attach the weight bar and horns, stabilize
the equipment, and bolt it to the floor.
