Monthly Inspection

This section covers the tasks you should perform each month to maintain the
equipment. Perform the following tasks as appropriate for the unit you are
maintaining:
 Inspect frames and movement arms.
 Lubricate pop pins.
 Check and lubricate ratcheting seat lever.
 Inspect all fasteners.
 Inspect gas shocks for leaks.
Inspect Frames and Movement Arms
Inspect frames and movement arms monthly for proper function and integrity.
Check for cracks, chipped paint, or rust. Touch up dings and chips in the paint
as needed. Replace any component at first signs of wear.
Note: You can order touch-up paint from Precor by calling Customer Support.
Refer to Obtaining Service.
Inspect frames for cracks, particularly at the joints. If any cracks are found,
take the equipment out of service immediately and have a qualified
maintenance technician repair it. Refer to Important Safety Guidelines for
Owners and Obtaining Service.
To remove surface rust from the frame, rub lightly with a fine wet/dry
sandpaper or fine steel wool. Finish with Precor touch-up paint if needed.
Maintain paint luster with an application of a mild automotive wax product.
To maintain the powder coated, plated, and chrome parts, use a mild
detergent-based cleaner for light dirt and grime removal. For removing heavier
dirt and grease and for polishing, use a good automotive polish. For scuffs and
marks that are not removed by the above methods, use a fine-grit cleanser. Do
not use solvents, lacquer thinner, acetone, or fingernail polish remover.

parts.
