Precor Vitality Series Maintenance Manual

Vitality™ Series Selectorized Maintenance Guide
Important safety guidelines for owners
Follow these guidelines to maintain proper working condition of the equipment:
CAUTION: 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.
Regular maintenance must be performed by qualified technicians.
l
Make sure that trainers, facility personnel, and maintenance technicians understand how to
l
use the equipment, know important safety guidelines, and can recognize potential problems
such as a cracked weld.
Strength training requires significant focus by the facility and its staff to maintain the quality of
l
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 facility personnel witness unsafe use of the equipment, the staff member should address
l
the user directly, to demonstrate the proper technique, and review with the users 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 surface. The equipment is designed to
l
be freestanding; however, it can be bolted to the floor for extra stability. Precor highly
recommends that the equipment be bolted to the floor to reduce the risk of the equipment
toppling due to improper use. Since floor construction varies, please consult a professional
building engineer for proper fastening.
Locate the equipment at least 40 inches (1 meter) away from walls or furniture on either side
l
of the equipment, and 40 inches (1 meter) away from objects behind the equipment.
Check the equipment thoroughly based on the recommended inspection schedules outlined in
l
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
l
surrounding area, and make sure the facility's personnel know not to allow anyone to use the
equipment until it has been inspected and works properly. If a piece of equipment needs
service, keep it out of use until repaired.
Do not attempt to free any jammed assemblies alone as this may cause injury. With the help
l
of another person, carefully return the mechanism to its proper resting position.
Do not place the equipment outdoors or on wet surfaces.
l
Safety approval
Precor commercial strength equipment is designed and tested according to EN 957-1/2 standards.
Important safety information for users
Before beginning any fitness program, you should obtain a complete physical examination from your
physician.
French equivalent of the preceding paragraph, for the Canadian market: Il est conseillé de subir un
examen médical complet avant d'entreprendre tout programme d'exercise. Si vous avez des étour-
dissements ou des faiblesses, arrêtez les exercices immédiatement.
When using exercise equipment, you should always take basic precautions, including the following:
If you do not understand how to operate a piece of equipment, ask someone from the facility
l
such as a trainer to demonstrate how to use it and explain any safety instructions.
Do not allow children on or near the equipment. Do not leave children unsupervised around
l
the equipment.
Use the equipment only for its intended purpose. Do not use accessory attachments that are
l
not recommended by the manufacturer, as such attachments may cause injuries.
Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your workout—no loose clothing.
l
Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. Use reasonable judgment when working with
l
weights. Avoid using excessive weight, which may cause injury.
If you feel pain or abnormal symptoms, stop exercising immediately and consult your
l
physician.
Keep head, limbs, fingers, and hair clear of all moving parts while the equipment is in use.
l
Keep hands clear of racking pegs.
Never drop or insert objects into any opening in the equipment.
l
Always check the equipment before using it. If you spot a potential problem, contact someone
l
in the facility immediately. Do not use the equipment until the facility has verified that the
equipment is working properly. Do not attempt to fix broken or jammed equipment.
Do not use the equipment outdoors or on wet surfaces.
l
Do not use the equipment if an "out of order" sign has been placed on it.
l
Read all posted instructions, including all safety instructions and warnings.
l
Before you begin
Precor recommends implementing a thorough maintenance program that incorporates regular safety
inspections by qualified maintenance technicians as outlined in this manual.
This manual explains how to maintain the Precor Vitality™ Series line of commercial strength
equipment. It provides information about items that need to be inspected and maintained on a daily,
weekly, monthly, and annual basis. You should perform those tasks that are appropriate for the
equipment you are maintaining and skip those tasks that do not apply.
