24 Assembling and Maintaining the StretchTrainer
Clean and Inspect Frames
To remove grease and dirt, clean frames daily with a mild
soap and water solution in a spray bottle. Wipe the
equipment down with a damp cloth and dry completely. Be
sure to wipe down both painted parts and chrome or plated
parts.
To restore and maintain the luster of chrome parts, use a
commercial chrome cleaner. As you clean, inspect the frames
for cracks, rust, or other damage. Make sure welds are solid
and fasteners are properly secured.
Inspect Warning Labels
Inspect warning and instructional labels daily to make sure
that the information can be clearly read. If any portion is not
visible or part of the label is not adhered properly, replace the
label immediately (refer to Obtaining Service for purchase
information). Clean labels as needed with a mild soap and
water solution in a spray bottle and dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth.
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.
