®
Thank you for purchasing the Precor StretchTrainer™. You have made an excellent choice in reducing
your daily stress, enhancing muscle elasticity and flexibility, diminishing the risk of injury, and increasing
body awareness and relaxation. The StretchTrainer puts the emphasis on flexibility, and like all Precor
products, it is manufactured to the highest quality standards.
The StretchTrainer makes it easy to incorporate stretching into your daily routine. There is no getting
up and down off the floor or dealing with awkward balancing rituals. The StretchTrainer uses alignment,
traction, and precisely engineered angles to place your body in its most advantageous position for
stretching and flexibility training. The patented StretchTrainer design locks in your legs and pelvis as the
seat pivots back. This stabilizes your back so that the weight of your body helps achieve an optimal
stretch. No other stretching device puts your body in such an ideal position.
This guide provides important safety and assembly instructions. An instructional placard, attached to the
StretchTrainer, illustrates several stretching techniques.
Important Safety Instructions
When using exercise equipment, basic precautions
should always be taken, including the following:
z Read all instructions before using the
StretchTrainer. These instructions are written to
educate club personnel, patrons, and other users
in the proper use of the equipment.
z Do not allow children or those unfamiliar with its
operation on or near the StretchTrainer. Do not
leave children unsupervised around the unit.
z Do not use the StretchTrainer outdoors.
z Do not modify the StretchTrainer or any of its
parts. Do not use accessory attachments that are
not recommended by Precor, as such
attachments may cause injuries. You should not
attempt to service the StretchTrainer yourself.
z Assemble and operate the StretchTrainer on a solid,
level surface. Make sure that the unit is installed with
enough free space for safe operation. As a general
rule, allow about a 4-foot (1 meter) circle of space
from the user’s center.
z Make sure that users, trainers, club personnel,
and maintenance technicians understand how to
use the StretchTrainer, comply with the important
safety instructions, read the safety information for
users, and can recognize potential problems, such
as a cracked weld or worn wrist strap.
z Before using the StretchTrainer, examine it
thoroughly. Make sure that all fasteners are
securely tightened and the instructional placard
is attached to the unit. Inspect the wrist straps for
wear. Replace them if they are frayed, worn, or
missing.
z If you determine that the StretchTrainer needs
service, move the equipment away from the
exercising area. Place an OUT OF SERVICE sign
on it and make sure all patrons and users know
that they must not use the StretchTrainer.
z The StretchTrainer is accompanied by a Precor
Limited Warranty. To retain this limited warranty,
keep your receipt, mail the warranty registration
card, and follow the assembly and usage
instructions. To review the limited warranty, refer
to the back cover.

Safety Information for Users
®
To familiarize yourself with the StretchTrainer and
basic stretching techniques, review the instructional
placard and the following safety information.
z Before beginning any fitness program, see your
physician for a complete physical examination.
z If you do not understand how to operate the
equipment, ask someone from the club such as
a trainer to demonstrate how to use it and explain
the safety information.
z Before using the StretchTrainer, always check for
loose, worn, or frayed parts. If you spot a potential
problem, do not use the StretchTrainer. If it is a
club unit, inform the club immediately.
z Wear comfortable exercise clothing and soft-soled
shoes for your workout and avoid loose clothing.
Tie long hair back.
z Always hold the handlebars while stretching. Do
not attempt a stretch using only the wrist straps.
z Use the wrist straps at all times while on the
StretchTrainer. The wrist straps may help reduce
the risk of injury by decreasing the chance of over
stretching or falling should you lose your grip on
the handlebar. Refer to Diagram 1.
z Do not over stretch, force a stretch, or bounce
during a stretch.
z Do not overexert yourself or try to do all the
stretches shown on the instructional placard the
first time you use the StretchTrainer. Start your
stretching routine slowly and conservatively. With
practice and increased flexibility, you can add
more stretches and repetitions to your routine.

verify that the seat is returned to the forward
position.
z Do not rock the equipment. Do not stand on the
handlebars, instructional placard, or the padded
seat.
z Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion.
If you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms, stop

Assembly Instructions
To assist you in the assembly of the StretchTrainer,
refer to Diagram 2 while performing the following
steps.
Important: Assemble and operate the StretchTrainer
on a solid, level surface. Also, have rags or paper
towels available to set the fasteners on during
assembly. Be aware that the lubrication on the
fasteners can stain carpeting and clothing.
Extra tools needed: A small crescent (or open-end)
wrench and needle-nose pliers.
1. Ask for assistance in assembling the
StretchTrainer. Putting the seat assembly
together and positioning it and the handlebars
over the base rails is a difficult procedure for
one person. Fully assembled, the StretchTrainer
weighs over 60 pounds.
2. Set the base rails on the floor. Ask for an
assistant to hold the upright supports together
while you align and secure the base rails.
