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, immediately take the equipment out of service, and repair it
using a qualified maintenance technician. Refer to Important Safety
Guidelines and Obtaining Service).
To remove surface rust from the frame, rub lightly with a fine wet/dry
sand paper or fine steel wool. Finish with Precor’s touch-up paint if
needed. Maintain paint luster with an application of a mild automotive
wax product.
To maintain the powder coated 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 car polish. For
scuffs and marks that are not removed by the above methods, use a
soft scrub cleanser. Do not use solvents, lacquer thinner, acetone, or
finger nail polish remover. For high wear areas, ABS shields have been
provided. Replacement shields are available from Precor.
