Discovery Series Plate Loaded Line Owner's Manual: Maintaining Your Plate Loaded Equipment
8
Inspect the Bearings and Bushings
Each month, inspect the bearings and bushings for smooth operation. If
bearings or bushings require replacement, please contact Customer Support.
Important:
Bushing and bearing quality and specifications vary considerably so
please replace them with Precor approved hardware specifically engineered for the
precise application. Failure to do so will void the Precor Limited Warranty.
Check and Lubricate the Seat Adjustment
The seat adjustment mechanism requires little maintenance. However,
because seat safety is important to the safety of a workout, you should check
the seat lever regularly to see if it sticks when used.
To test if the seat lever needs lubrication, elevate the seat slightly while
pressing and releasing the lever. The lever should snap back out easily. If the
lever sticks, lubricate its pivot pin with a Teflon
®
spray lubricant. Wipe off any
excess lubricant with a cloth.
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.
Important:
Fastener quality and specifications vary considerably so please replace
them with Precor approved fasteners specifically engineered for the precise
application. Failure to do so will void the Precor Limited Warranty.
