Important Safety Instructions

Before beginning any fitness program, you should
obtain a complete physical examination from your
physician.

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, basic precautions
should always be taken, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the Leg Press
Option. These instructions are written to ensure
your safety and to protect the unit.

• Do not allow children on or near the equipment.

• Use the equipment only for its intended
purpose as described in this guide. Do not
use accessory attachments that are not
recommended by the manufacturer: such
attachments might cause injuries.

• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for
your workout—no loose clothing.

• Use care when getting on or off the unit.

• Do not overexert yourself or work to
exhaustion.

• If you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms,
stop your workout immediately and consult
your physician.

• Never operate the unit when it has been dropped
or damaged. Return the equipment to a service
center for examination and repair.

• Never drop or insert objects into any opening
in the equipment. Keep hands away from moving
parts.

• Always check the unit and its cables before
each use. Make sure that all fasteners and
cables are secure and in good working
condition.

• Do not use the equipment outdoors.

Personal Safety During Assembly

• It is strongly recommended that a qualified dealer
assemble the equipment. Assistance is required.

• Read each step in the assembly instructions and
follow the steps in sequence. Do not skip ahead. If
you skip ahead, you may learn later that you have
to disassemble components and that you may have
damaged the equipment.

• Assemble and operate the Leg Press Option on a
solid, level surface. Locate the unit a few feet from
walls or furniture to provide easy access.

The Leg Press Option is designed for your enjoyment. By
following these precautions and using common sense,
you will have many safe and pleasurable hours of healthful
exercise with your Precor equipment.

CAUTION: To set up this equipment, 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 Leg Press
Option according to the following guidelines, you could
void the Precor limited warranty.

Required Tools

You need to obtain these tools before assembling
the unit:

❑ ¾-inch socket wrench

❑ ¾-inch box-end wrench

❑ ⁹⁄₁₆-inch socket wrench

❑ ⁹⁄₁₆-inch box-end wrench

❑ Two adjustable pliers or crescent wrenches

❑ Standard set of metric Allen wrenches

❑ Utility knife or scissors

❑ Measuring tape

Preparations

Installation Requirements

Follow these installation requirements when
assembling the unit:

• Fill out and mail the limited warranty card.
The warranty card is found on the back cover of
this guide.

• Set up the Leg Press Option on a solid, flat
surface. A smooth, flat surface under the unit helps
keep it level. A level unit has fewer malfunctions.

• Provide ample space around the machine.
Open space around the machine allows for easier
access.

• Insert all bolts in the same direction. For
aesthetic purposes, insert all the bolts in the same
direction unless specified (in text or illustrations) to
do otherwise.

• Leave room for adjustments. Tighten fasteners
such as bolts, nuts, and screws, so that the unit is
stable, but leave room for adjustments. Do not fully
tighten fasteners until instructed in the assembly
steps to do so.

Assembly Tips

• A 6-inch scale is provided at the bottom of every
assembly instruction page. Use this scale to identify
the correct size bolts and spacers. The head of a
bolt is not used in measuring the length of a bolt.

To find out the length of a particular bolt, measure its
shank (the long, narrow part beneath the head). Refer
to the following diagram.

• Read all caution notes on each page before
completing that step.

Bolt head

Bolt threads

Shank

• Some pieces have extra holes that you will not use.
Use only those holes indicated in the instructions
and illustrations.

• While you may be able to assemble the Leg Press
Option by using the illustrations only, refer to the
text for important safety cautions and notes.

To determine the
length of a bolt,
measure its shank.

Assembly of the Leg Press Option 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!

CAUTION: Obtain assistance! Do not attempt
to assemble the Leg Press Option by yourself.
Because of the weight and size of the Leg Press
Option, you could be injured or damage the
equipment. Review the Installation Requirements
on page 5 before proceeding.

The Leg Press Option comes in one box. It can be
installed on either the S3.25 or S3.45 Precor Strength
Training Equipment. Note that the location where you
attach the Cross Brace to the Seat Frame differs.
As you read through the assembly instructions, be
sure that you are using the correct mounting holes for
your unit.

Instructions

Be careful to assemble the components in the
sequence presented in this guide.

Note: As with any assembled part, proper alignment and
adjustment is critical. While tightening the fasteners, be
sure to leave room for adjustments. Do not fully tighten the
