Before You Begin
Before You Begin
Thank you for purchasing the S3.23. This unit is part of
the Precor Strength line of quality strength training
machines, which let you target specific muscle groups
to achieve better muscle tone and overall body
conditioning. To maximize your use of the equipment,
please study this guide thoroughly.
Unpacking the Equipment
The S3.23 is carefully tested and inspected before

pieces that require assembly. Ask for assistance during
the assembly process.
• Review the Installation Requirements found on the
next page.
• When instructed to open a box, carefully unpack
the pieces and lay them on the floor near the
location where you plan to use the equipment.
Be careful to open boxes and assemble components
in the sequence presented in this manual.

Preparations
Preparations
CAUTION: To set up this unit, you will need
assistance. Do not attempt assembly by yourself.
You must review and follow the instructions in this
guide. If you do not assemble and use the S3.23
according to the following guidelines, you could void
the Precor Limited Warranty.
Required Tools
Tools that you need to obtain before assembling the
unit include:
❏ Standard set of hex keys
❏ Tw o ⁹⁄₁₆-inch wrenches
❏ One ¹⁄₂-inch wrench
❏ Wire tie cutter (cuts plastic tie wraps)
❏ Step stool
Note: Use box-end, open-end or standard crescent
wrenches.
Installation Requirements
Follow these installation requirements when
assembling the unit:
• Fill out and mail the warranty registration card.
• Set up the S3.23 on a solid, flat surface.
A smooth, flat surface under the unit helps keep
it level.
• Provide ample space around the machine.
Open space around the machine allows for easier
access.
• Insert all fasteners in the same direction. For
aesthetic purposes, insert all the fasteners in the
same direction unless specified (in text or
illustrations) to do otherwise.
• Leave room for adjustments. Tighten fasteners
(such as screws, nuts, and bolts), so the unit is
stable, but leaves room for adjustments. Do not
fully tighten fasteners until instructed (in the steps)
to do so.
Assembly Tips
• A black 6-inch scale with white numbers is
provided at the bottom of every assembly
instruction page. Use this scale to identify the
correct fastener size. The head of a fastener is not
used in measuring the length.
To find out the length of a particular fastener,
measure its shank (the long, narrow part beneath
the head). Refer to the following diagram:
• Silver fasteners are used within the silver painted
areas. Black fasteners are used when assembling
the gray painted surfaces.
• Some pieces have extra holes that you will not use.
Use only those holes indicated in the instructions
and illustrations.
• Read all caution notes on each page before
completing that step.
• While you may be able to assemble the S3.23 by
reading the illustrations only, refer to the text for
important safety cautions and notes.

Assembly
Instructions
Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the S3.23 takes professional installers
about 1 hour to complete. If this is the first time you
have assembled this type of equipment, plan on
significantly more time.
Professional installers are highly recommended!
However, if you acquire the appropriate tools, obtain
assistance, and follow the assembly steps sequentially,
the process will take time, but is fairly easy.
CAUTION: Obtain assistance! Do not attempt to
assemble the S3.23 by yourself. Review the
Installation Requirements on page 6 before
proceeding with the following steps.
The S3.23 comes in two long boxes with four smaller
boxes of weights.
Be careful to open boxes and assemble components
in the sequence presented in this manual.
Note: With so many assembled parts, proper alignment
and adjustment is critical. While tightening the fasteners,
be sure to leave room for adjustments. Do not fully
tighten fasteners until instructed to do so.
