Daily maintenance

Perform the following tasks daily to maintain the equipment and keep it operating smoothly.
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.
CAUTION: 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). 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.
Check warning and instructional labels
Inspect warning and instructional labels daily to make sure that all the
information can be clearly read. If any portion is not visible or part of the
label is not adhered properly, replace that label immediately (refer to
Obtaining Service for purchase information). Spray labels as needed with a
mild soap and water solution, and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Precor products come equipped with an instructional placard and a
number of standard warning labels (Figure 1). The following shows sample
labels you may see on the equipment depending on the model and product
line:
Inspect cables and end connections
CAUTION: Carefully inspect the cables, pulleys, fasteners, and related
hardware regularly. Replace any cable at the first sign of wear using only
Precor-supplied replacement parts. With regular use, a cable can become
worn and may fail. Sudden failure of worn cable can cause severe injury to
a user.
Inspect the cables and end connections each day, and replace if damaged. Check for kinks, frayed
wires, or deterioration of the cable coating. Look for signs of wear, particularly at crimped ends of the
cable and near pulleys. Cables must be replaced immediately if they are damaged to avoid possible
injury to users.
Some signs of damage are shown below (Figure 2).
Exposed inner wire, stretching or cuts in the
coating, or broken coating in the area that
passes over a pulley
A zigzag or wavy pattern
Kinks, which may indicate internal damage
A necked-down cover
A "ballooned" cover
