Inspect Cables And End Connections - Precor Discovery Series Selectorized Line Owner's Manual

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 might fail. Sudden failure of a worn cable can cause severe injury
to a user. Refer to Obtaining Service to purchase replacement parts.
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.
Important: Cables must be replaced immediately if they are damaged to avoid
possible injury to users.
