General Safety and Maintenance Manual: Monthly Inspection 17
Lubricate Pop Pins
Pull out the pop pin as far as it goes and apply a small amount of
silicone spray lubricant. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a rag.
(Refer to Figure 11.)
CAUTION: Pulling out the pop pin may cause the unit to
suddenly adjust position. To avoid injury, keep your hands and
head away from moving parts.
Test the pop pin for proper function and engagement in each
adjustment hole.

Check and Lubricate Ratcheting
Seat Lever
Precor designed the ratcheting seat so users can easily move the seat
to a comfortable position. After lowering the seat by pressing on the
lever to disengage, a user can sit on the seat and pull it up to the
desired position. As the seat moves, the ratcheting lever snaps in and
out of each hole, making an audible noise.
The ratcheting seat requires little maintenance. However, because
seat safety is important to the safety of a workout, you should check
the ratcheting seat lever each month to see if it sticks when used. You
also want to ensure that the pin fully engages in each adjustment hole.
To test if the seat lever needs lubrication, slightly elevate the seat while
pressing and releasing the lever. The lever should snap back out
easily. If the lever sticks, lubricate the pivot pin in the lever with silicone
spray lubricant. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a rag. (Refer to
Figure 12.)
