Discovery Selectorized Line Owner's Manual: Important Safety Guidelines for Owners 1
Follow these guidelines to maintain proper working condition of the
equipment:
Important: Do not modify the equipment or any of its parts, or permanently remove
any part from the equipment. Do not use accessory attachments that are not
recommended by Precor, as such attachments might cause injuries.
Regular maintenance must be performed by qualified technicians.
Make sure that trainers, facility personnel, and maintenance technicians
understand how to use the equipment, know important safety guidelines,
and can recognize potential problems such as a worn cable, loose
hardware, or cracked weld.
Strength training requires a significant focus by the facility and its staff to
maintain the quality of the fitness environment. If possible, the facility
should provide direct supervision of the fitness equipment at all times by
people knowledgeable about the safe operation of the equipment and
trained to recognize potential problems.
If any facility personnel witness unsafe use of the equipment, the staff
member should address the user directly, demonstrate the proper
technique, and review the Important Safety Information for Users. Precor
recommends posting a copy of the Important Safety Information for Users near
the equipment in a prominent location.
Make sure the equipment is stable and placed on a solid surface. The
equipment is designed to be freestanding; however, it can be bolted to the
floor for extra stability. Precor highly recommends that the equipment be
bolted to the floor to reduce the risk of toppling the equipment due to
improper use. Since floor construction varies, please consult a professional
building engineer for proper fastening.
Locate the equipment at least 40 inches (1 meter) away from walls or
furniture on either side of the equipment, and 40 inches (1 meter) away
from objects behind the equipment. For Functional Training equipment,
make sure that the operating space is large enough to allow the cables to
be fully extended in all possible directions.
Check the equipment thoroughly based on the recommended inspection
schedules outlined in this manual, including daily, weekly, monthly and
annual checks.
Place an “out-of-order” sign on the equipment during maintenance of the
equipment or the surrounding area. Users should never be allowed to
operate the equipment until it has been inspected and works properly. 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 the facility’s
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 equipment to the proper position with the top plate resting on
the first weight. Inspect the cable to make sure that it is seated in all of the
pulleys.
Do not place the equipment outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Safety Approval
All Precor Discovery Selectorized strength equipment has been designed and
tested to EN957 and applicable ASTM standards.
Important Safety Guidelines for Owners
Discovery Selectorized Line Owner's Manual: Important Safety Information for Users 2
Before beginning any fitness program, you should obtain a complete physical
examination from your physician.
French equivalent of the preceding paragraph, for the Canadian market: Il est
conseillé de subir un examen médical complet avant d’entreprendre tout programme
d’exercise. Si vous avez des étourdissements ou des faiblesses, arrêtez les exercices
immédiatement.
When using exercise equipment, you should always take basic precautions,
including the following:
If you do not understand how to operate a piece of equipment, ask
someone from the facility such as a trainer to demonstrate how to use it
and explain any safety instructions.
Do not allow children on or near the equipment. Do not leave children
unsupervised around the equipment.
Use the equipment only for its intended purpose. Do not use accessory
attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer, as such
attachments may cause injuries.
Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your workout—no loose
clothing.
Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. Use reasonable
judgment when working with weights. Avoid using excessive weight,
which may cause injury.
If you feel pain or abnormal symptoms, stop exercising immediately and
consult your physician.
Keep head, limbs, fingers, and hair clear of all moving parts while the
equipment is in use. Keep hands clear of racking pegs.
Never drop or insert objects into any opening in the equipment.
Always check the equipment before using it. If you spot a potential
problem, contact someone in the facility immediately. Do not use the
equipment until the facility has verified that the equipment is working
properly. Do not attempt to fix broken or jammed equipment.
Do not use the equipment outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Do not drop or slam the weight stack while exercising.
Be sure the selector pin is completely inserted. Use only the pin provided
by the manufacturer. If unsure, contact someone in the facility.
Never pin the weights in an elevated position. Do not use the equipment if
the top plate or weight stack is pinned in a raised position. Notify the
facility’s personnel to repair the equipment and ensure that it is working
properly.
Do not use the equipment if an "out of order" sign has been placed on it.
Read all posted instructions, including all safety instructions and warnings.
