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.

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.

Vitality Series Selectorized Line Owner's Manual: Maintenance 31
Before You Begin
Precor recommends implementing a thorough maintenance program that
incorporates regular safety inspections by qualified maintenance technicians
as outlined in this manual.
This manual explains how to maintain the Vitality™ Series Selectorized Line of
commercial strength equipment. It provides information about items that need
to be inspected and maintained on a daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis.
You should perform those tasks that are appropriate for the equipment you are
maintaining, and skip those tasks that do not apply.
This manual covers the general maintenance procedures that you can perform
in the fitness facility. However, if the equipment requires service beyond the
maintenance procedures covered in this manual, refer to Obtaining Service.
Important: Always purchase replacement parts and hardware from Precor. Many
parts are tested and manufactured specifically for Precor commercial strength
equipment. If you use parts not approved by Precor, you could void the Precor
Limited Warranty. Use of parts not approved by Precor may cause injury.
Precor recommends that maintenance technicians thoroughly read and
understand the safety guidelines and maintenance procedures covered in this
manual.
Note: If the equipment requires assembly, a separate assembly guide is
provided. For information on how to use a piece of equipment, refer to the
instructional label found on the equipment and the Product Specifications and
Use section in this manual.
Recommended Tools
We recommend that you keep the following tools available to inspect and
maintain the equipment:
Complete combination box wrench set (common metric sizes)
Complete socket set (common metric and SAE sizes)
Complete hex key set (common metric sizes)
12-inch adjustable wrench
Rubber mallet
Maintenance
Vitality Series Selectorized Line Owner's Manual: Maintenance 32
Shroud Removal
The Vitality™ Series Selectorized Line includes a shroud that must be removed
to perform the maintenance described in this manual.
Important: Do not remove the shroud while the equipment is in use.
Use the following instructions to remove the shroud:
1. Remove the four M6 * 12 mm buttonhead screws that secure the top cap
to the weight tower frame. Set the screws aside, taking care to keep the
four 7 mm flat washers with them.
2. Lift the outside shroud straight up until its tabs are clear of the shroud clips
mounted on the weight tower uprights, then remove the outside shroud.
3. Repeat the previous step to remove the inside shroud.
Perform the necessary maintenance. When you are finished, replace the
shroud.
4. Align the tabs on both sides of the inside shroud with the slots on the
shroud clips, as shown in the following figure.
5. Press the edges of the shroud in, then down, to secure the shroud.
6. Repeat the previous two steps to mount the outside shroud on the unit.
Important: Just inside the lip of the top cap are ribs that align the top cap with
the outside and inside shrouds. In the following step, make sure that the top
edges of the two shroud panels fit between these ribs and the lip of the top cap.
7. Slide the top cap over the top edges of the two shrouds, making sure that
the top edges of the shrouds align correctly with the top cap.
8. Secure the top cap to the weight tower frame using the buttonhead screws
and flat washers you removed earlier.
9. Wrench-tighten all four screws.

Inspect all fasteners.
Inspect cables and end connections.
Check warning and instructional labels.
Perform the tasks that are appropriate for the equipment you are maintaining,
and skip the tasks that do not apply.
Clean Upholstery
To remove surface dirt and perspiration, clean upholstery daily with a mild
soap and water solution in a spray bottle. Spray upholstered surfaces lightly
and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Important: To clean the upholstery, do not use cleaning products that have any of
these ingredients: solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or petroleum. Use a mild detergent-
based cleaner instead.
Inspect Pads for Wear
Inspect pads for cracks in the upholstery, broken and loose stitching, loose
staples, and loose mounting bolts. Replace pads as needed (refer to Obtaining
Service to purchase new pads).
Important: Do not reupholster pads or use pads not approved by Precor.
Clean and Inspect Frames
To remove grease and dirt, clean frames daily with a mild soap and water
solution in a spray bottle. Wipe the equipment down with a damp cloth and
dry completely. Be sure to wipe down both painted parts and chrome or plated
parts.
To restore and maintain the luster of chrome parts, use a commercial chrome
cleaner.
As you clean, inspect the frames for cracks, rust, or other damage. Make sure
welds are solid and fasteners are properly secured.
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
Figure 2: Signs of cable damage
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.
Vitality Series Selectorized Line Owner's Manual: Maintenance 35
Make sure that the cable bolt is threaded a minimum of seven threads into
the selector stem, and the locking jam nut is tight. (Refer to the following
figure.)
Figure 3: Cable bolt must extend a minimum of seven threads into the selector
stem
Check Warning and Instructional Labels
Inspect warning and instructional labels daily to make sure that all the
information can be clearly read. If any portion is not visible or part of the label
is not adhered properly, replace that label immediately (refer to Obtaining
Service for purchase information).
Clean labels as needed with a mild soap and water solution in a spray bottle,
and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
The following figure shows an example of a user instructional label.

Weekly Inspection
This section covers the tasks you should perform each week to maintain the
equipment. Perform the following tasks as appropriate for the unit you are
maintaining:
Condition and deep clean upholstery.
Clean and lubricate guide rods.
Inspect cables, connections, and tension.
Inspect pulleys.
Inspect each weight stack and selector pin.
Inspect and lubricate bearings and bushings.
Check and lubricate seat adjustment
Condition and Deep Clean Upholstery
Condition and deep clean the upholstery weekly with a lanolin-based hand
cleaner or upholstery cleaner.
Important: To clean the upholstery, do not use cleaning products that have
any of these ingredients: solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or petroleum. Use a mild
detergent-based cleaner instead.
Clean and Lubricate Guide Rods
Inspect the exposed areas of the guide rods for cleanliness. Using a dry cloth,
wipe any buildup of dirt or grease from the rods.
Note: On the Vitality™ Series Selectorized Line, the upper rear shroud must be
removed to access the guide rods for inspection, cleaning, and lubricating
(refer to Shroud Removal).
Lubricate the exposed areas of the guide rods by applying a light coat of
Teflon
®
spray lubricant. Spray the lubricant on a cloth and then wipe the guide
rods with the cloth. Be careful with any lubricant spray; it can stain carpet and
clothing.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to lubricate the guide rods when the equipment
is in use. Attempting to lubricate between the weight plates without
completely disassembling the stack will result in serious injury.
Important: Do not use petroleum-based lubricants. These lubricants tend to cause
a rapid buildup of dirt and hair on the weight plates, which can cause the plates to
stick together.
Vitality Series Selectorized Line Owner's Manual: Maintenance 38
Inspect Cables, Connections, and Tension
Each week, give the cables and connections a thorough inspection and check
cable tensions. The following lists the specific things you need to inspect:
Check the cable termination at the weight stack. For most equipment, the
exposed shank can be no more than 1¼ inches (32mm); this distance
allows for a minimum of 10 turns of the bolt into the selector stem (refer
to Inspect Cables and End Connections, earlier). Check and adjust the
distance accordingly. Also make sure that the locking jam nut is tight against
the selector stem.
Check the cable, especially near all pulley wheels and cams.
Check the cable as it terminates at the cam, which is stationary on most
equipment. Inspect the bolt passing through the cam end fitting to be sure
the two jam nuts are tightened against each other. Also, check the entire
cable routing to verify that there is no interference with any structure.
Inspect the ball end of the cable where the cable connection rests in the
clevis housing.
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.
Inspect Cable Handle Attachments
Check the cable-to-handle attachment area very closely. (Refer to the
following figure.) Look for frayed cable ends, broken thimbles, bent cables,
worn spring clips, worn handles, and any other unusual wear.
Figure 7: Check connections to handles carefully
Also, check the spring clip gate and make sure it closes properly and engages
securely. (Refer to the following figure.) Check the spring clip, links, and cable;
replace any spring clip link that does not function properly or shows wear.
Figure 8: Check spring clip gate for proper closure
Vitality Series Selectorized Line Owner's Manual: Maintenance 39
Inspect Pulleys
Precor uses precision ball bearing idler pulleys to guide the cable smoothly.
Inspect each pulley for damage, including hairline cracks, chips, or missing
sections. Worn surfaces in the pulleys can cause severe damage to the cables
and must be replaced at the first sign of wear or damage.
Be certain that the wheels turn freely as the equipment is used. Inspect each
pulley for excessive side-to-side play, which indicates worn bearings or loose
mounting bolts. If excessive play is discovered, remove the pulley to inspect
the bearings and replace the entire pulley if necessary.
Inspect Weight Stack and Selector Pin
Weight stacks are made of precision machined plates that are designed as a
single mechanism to stack precisely. Use only Precor-supplied add-on weights
and weight selector pins.
On a weekly basis, inspect weight stacks and selector pins. Wipe each plate
with a damp cloth as needed. Inspect all plates for sharp burrs or damage.
Wipe dirt and dust off the guide rods.
Make sure the equipment uses only the original Precor selector pin. In
addition, make sure the selector pin can be fully inserted and retained in each
weight plate.
Vitality Series Selectorized Line Owner's Manual: Maintenance 40
Inspect and Lubricate Bearings and Bushings
Precor uses high quality bearings designed for strength applications and long
service life. Each week, do the following to maintain the bearings and bushings
on the equipment:
Bronze bushings: Precor recommends using a small amount of silicone
spray lubricant to lubricate these bushings, which usually support rotary
shafts. Spray directly onto the shaft, and then rotate the shaft through its
complete range of motion several times. Inspect bushings for excessive
wear and damage. Be careful when using the spray lubricant; it can stain
carpet and clothing. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a cloth.
Nylon bushings: Lubricate the nylon bushings on the guide rods by
applying a light coat of silicone spray lubricant. Spray the silicone lubricant
on a cloth, then wipe the cloth along the full length of the guide rod.
Sealed Bearing Pivot Points: These locations are protected from the
outside environment and require no lubrication. While cleaning the
equipment, wipe down the shafts and external bearing surfaces with a
cloth to prevent the buildup of dust and perspiration.
Linear Bearings: These bearings allow weight plates and other mechanical
parts to travel smoothly along guide rods. (Refer to the following figure.)
Inspect the ends of each guide rod to make sure they are fastened
correctly and all bolts are tight.
Wipe down guide rods using a light application of a silicone spray lubricant
to remove dust, hair, and dirt. Polish the guide rods using fine grade steel
wool if surface rust is present.
Important: Do not use petroleum-based lubricants.
If you lubricate the guide rods regularly, then the bearings will function as
designed. Otherwise, the guide rods may corrode. This can cause the bearings to
become clogged and jammed, leading to actual gouging of the guide rods. Be
sure to remove surface rust and oxidation from the guide rods as soon as you
observe it.
Figure 9: Typical location of a linear bearing in its housing
Vitality Series Selectorized Line Owner's Manual: Maintenance 41
Check Seat Adjustment and Test Pop Pins
Precor strength equipment has three types of adjustments:
2x4-inch or 2x2-inch telescoping sleeve adjustment for most seat
assemblies with and without ratcheting mechanism
¹⁄₂-inch slotted plate adjustments used on most free-weight bench
adjustments
Gas-assisted or spring-assisted seats and back pads
Inspect all adjustments for proper fit and function. Inspect plastic sliders for
excessive wear or damage. Check and clean the rail or gas shock periodically.
Adjustments use either a high-tensile pop pin plunger assembly or a ratcheting
lever assembly. Inspect and tighten all pop pin caps.
Monthly Inspection
This section covers the tasks you should perform each month to maintain the
equipment. Perform the following tasks as appropriate for the unit you are
maintaining:
Inspect frames and movement arms.
Lubricate pop pins.
Inspect Frames and Movement Arms
Inspect frames and movement arms monthly for proper function and integrity.
Check for cracks, chipped paint, or rust. Touch up dings and chips in the paint
as needed. Replace any component at first signs of wear.
Note: You can order touch-up paint from Precor by calling Customer Support.
Refer to Obtaining Service.
Inspect frames for cracks, particularly at the joints. If any cracks are found,
take the equipment out of service immediately and have a qualified
maintenance technician repair it. Refer to Important Safety Guidelines for
Owners and Obtaining Service.
To remove surface rust from the frame, rub lightly with a fine wet/dry
sandpaper or fine steel wool. Finish with Precor touch-up paint if needed.
Maintain paint luster with an application of a mild automotive wax product.
To maintain the powder coated, plated, and chrome parts, use a mild
detergent-based cleaner for light dirt and grime removal. For removing heavier
dirt and grease and for polishing, use a good automotive polish. For scuffs and
marks that are not removed by the above methods, use a fine-grit cleanser. Do
not use solvents, lacquer thinner, acetone, or fingernail polish remover.
Vitality Series Selectorized Line Owner's Manual: Maintenance 42
Lubricate Pop Pins
Pull out the pop pin as far as it goes and apply a small amount of Teflon
®
spray
lubricant. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a cloth. (Refer to the following
figure.)
CAUTION: Pulling out the pop pin may cause the unit to adjust position
suddenly. To avoid injury, keep your hands and head away from moving
parts.
Test the pop pin for proper function and engagement in each adjustment hole.
Figure 10: Lubricate the pop pin by pulling it out
Check and Lubricate Ratcheting Seat Lever
The ratcheting seat, which provides audible confirmation of its position as a
user moves it up or down, requires little maintenance. However, because seat
safety is important to the safety of a workout, you should check the seat lever
regularly to see if it sticks when used. You also want to ensure that the pin fully
engages in each adjustment hole.
To test if the seat lever needs lubrication, elevate the seat slightly while
pressing and releasing the lever. The lever should snap back out easily. If the
lever sticks, lubricate its pivot pin with Teflon
®
spray lubricant. Wipe off any
excess lubricant with a cloth. (Refer to the following figure.)
Figure 11: If needed, lubricate the pivot pin on the ratcheting seat lever
If necessary, you can detach the seat by removing the retaining pin, then
remove the chrome for cleaning. Removing the seat also allows clear access to
the ratcheting lever to test its pivoting action.
Vitality Series Selectorized Line Owner's Manual: Maintenance 43
Inspect All Fasteners
Fasteners can loosen with normal use. Inspect all nuts, bolts, screws, and other
fasteners to make sure they are tight and installed correctly.
Be sure to check fasteners at bolted joints to make sure the connections are
secure. If a fastener is loose but in good condition, retighten it. If you are
concerned about the integrity of the fastener, remove it, clean the threads, and
inspect it for any damage such as cracks, bad threads, corrosion, or rust.
Reinstall the fastener if it appears to be in good condition. Otherwise, remove
the equipment from service until a new fastener can be installed properly. You
can order new fasteners from Customer Support. For additional information,
refer to Obtaining Service.
