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. For additional information,
refer to Obtaining Service.
Important: Fastener quality and specifications vary considerably. Replace only with
the Precor approved fastener specifically engineered for the precise application.
Failure to do so will void the Precor Limited Warranty.
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, deterioration of the cable coating, and broken
thimbles. 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.
Some obvious signs of cable damage are as follows:
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
