Vitality Series Selectorized Line Owner's Manual: Maintenance 34
Inspect Cables and End Connections
CAUTION: Carefully inspect the cables, pulleys, fasteners, and related
hardware regularly. Replace any cable at the first sign of wear using only
Precor-supplied replacement parts. With regular use, a cable can become
worn and might fail. Sudden failure of a worn cable can cause severe injury
to a user. Refer to Obtaining Service to purchase replacement parts.
Inspect the cables and end connections each day, and replace if damaged.
Check for kinks, frayed wires, or deterioration of the cable coating. Look for
signs of wear particularly at crimped ends of the cable and near pulleys.
Important: Cables must be replaced immediately if they are damaged to avoid
possible injury to users.
Some obvious signs of cable damage are as follows:
Exposed inner wire, stretching or cuts in the coating, or broken
coating in the area that passes over a pulley
A zigzag or wavy pattern
Kinks, which may indicate internal damage
A necked-down cover
A “ballooned” cover

In addition to inspecting the cables and end connections for damage, check the
following:
Make sure that each cable is properly adjusted and tightened at the top of
the weight stack.
Check cable pulleys, end connections, and end fittings. Make sure all
connections are tight, adjusting cable tension as necessary.
