Vitality Series 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.
Qualified technicians must perform all regular maintenance.
Check that all fasteners are securely tightened. Cables should be secured
at both end connections and properly threaded. Weight stacks should be
secure and functioning properly. Handle attachments should be properly
connected.
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 staff member witnesses unsafe use of the equipment, he or she
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. Ensure all bolt connections are tight and that the threaded
cables are properly and tightly secured at both ends.
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 it is repaired.
When working with the weight stacks, do not attempt to free any jammed
assemblies without assistance 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
Precor commercial strength equipment is designed and tested according to EN
957-1/2 standards.
Obtaining Service
You should not attempt to service the strength equipment, except for the
maintenance tasks described in this manual. If any items are missing, contact
your dealer. If you need more information regarding customer support
numbers or a list of Precor authorized service centers, visit the Precor website
at www.precor.com.
If you have any questions regarding a piece of equipment, locate its serial

to establish the model and year of the product. You can generally find the
serial number on one of the weight tower uprights.
For future reference, write the serial numbers, model numbers, and dates of
purchase for your Precor strength training equipment in the space provided.

Vitality Series Selectorized Line Owner's Manual: Important Safety Information for Users 3
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, faintness, dizziness, 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.
Check that all fasteners are securely tightened. Cables should be secured
at both end connections and properly threaded. Weight stacks should be
secure and functioning properly. Handle attachments should be properly
connected. Pay particular attention to the condition of cables and cable
ends. If you notice a loose cable end or any fraying of the cable or cable
jacket, do not use the product and contact someone in the facility
immediately.
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.
