Discovery Series Plate Loaded Line Owner's Manual: Maintaining Your Plate Loaded Equipment
5
Precor recommends implementing a thorough maintenance program that
incorporates regular safety inspections by qualified maintenance technicians
as outlined in this manual.
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, contact Precor Customer
Support.
Precor recommends that maintenance technicians thoroughly read and
understand the safety guidelines and maintenance procedures covered in this
manual.
Important:
Always purchase replacement parts and hardware from Precor. Many
parts are tested and manufactured specifically for Precor commercial strength
equipment. If you use parts not approved by Precor, you could void the Precor
Limited Warranty. Use of parts not approved by Precor may cause injury.
Daily Maintenance
Perform the following tasks daily to maintain the equipment and keep it
operating smoothly:
Clean upholstery
Inspect upholstery pads for wear
Clean and inspect frames
Check warning and instructional labels
Clean Upholstery
To remove surface dirt and perspiration, spray upholstery daily with a mild
soap and water solution. Spray upholstered surfaces lightly and wipe dry with
a clean cloth.
Important:
To clean the upholstery, do not use cleaning products that have any of
these ingredients: solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or petroleum. Use a mild
detergent-based cleaner instead.
Inspect Upholstery Pads for Wear
Inspect pads for cracks in the upholstery, broken and loose stitching, loose
staples, and loose mounting bolts. Replace pads as needed (refer to Obtaining
Service to purchase new pads).
Important:
Do not reupholster pads or use pads not approved by Precor.
Clean and Inspect Frames
To remove grease and dirt, spray the frames daily with a mild soap and water
solution. Wipe the equipment down with a damp cloth and dry completely. Be
sure to wipe down both painted parts and chrome or plated parts. As you
clean, inspect the frames for cracks, rust, or other damage. Make sure welds
are solid and fasteners are properly secured.
To restore and maintain the luster of chrome parts, use a commercial chrome
cleaner.
