General Safety and Maintenance Manual: Important Safety Guidelines 2
IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES
• If a piece of equipment needs service, keep it out of use until
repaired. Place an “out-of-order” sign on the equipment and
make sure club personnel know not to allow anyone to use the
equipment until it is working properly.
• When working with the weight stacks, do not attempt to free any
jammed assemblies alone as this may cause injury. With the help
of another person, carefully return the weight stack to the proper
position with the top plate resting on the first weight.
• Do not allow the equipment to be used if the top plate or weight
stack is pinned in a raised position. With the help of another
person, carefully return the machine to the proper position with
the top plate resting on the first weight. Inspect the cable to
ensure that it is seated in all of the pulleys.
• Whenever a weight can drop and hit a user, such as with an
Olympic bench, Precor highly recommends that a helper or
spotter be used to ensure a safe workout with the equipment.
