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 S3.15
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:
❏ ⁹⁄₁₆-inch socket
❏ ³⁄₄-inch socket
❏ ⁹⁄₁₆-inch box-end wrench
❏ ³⁄₄-inch box-end wrench
❏ Crescent wrench
❏ Rubber mallet
❏ Wire tie cutter (cuts plastic tie wraps)
❏ Utility knife
❏ Step stool
Installation Requirements
Follow these installation requirements when
assembling the unit:
• Fill out and mail the warranty registration card.
• Set up the S3.15 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
• Fasteners may become loose and fall off during
shipment. Inspect the plastic wrap and packaging
for loose parts. To alleviate confusion during
assembly, reattach the loose fasteners and pulleys
found in the packaging.
• 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.
• Most fasteners are ³⁄₈-inch unless otherwise noted.
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-colored zinc fasteners are used with the
titanium parts (Press Arm, Floating Pulleys, etc.).
Black fasteners are used when assembling the
stone 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 S3.15 by
reading the illustrations only, refer to the text for
important safety cautions and notes.

Cable Adjustments and Maintenance
When the S3.15 is completely assembled, you need to
check the cables for proper tension. Obvious signs that
cable problems exist include:
✔ Top Cap Weight does not rest squarely on the top
weight of the Weight Stack.
✔ Cable rubs the inside edges of the pulleys.
✔ Excess slack exists in the cable.
✔ Weight Pin cannot be easily inserted in or
removed from each hole in the Weight Stack.
CAUTION: Take the time to perform the following
steps. If the cables do not have the proper tension
you could void the Precor Limited Warranty.

Cable Adjustments and Maintenance, continued
1. Cable Tension
If you experience any of these cable problems, take
the following steps to reduce tension on the cables:
A. Place the Weight Pin in the Top Weight.
B. Place the Leg Press Support Arm in the upright
(non-extended) position.
C. Position the Multi-Hip Pivot Arm so the cable
remains centered between the two pulleys on the
Multi-Hip Upright.
D. Check that the Press Arm rests lightly on the
Bumper Pad and is positioned so it causes minimal
tension in the cable. If necessary, rotate the
Bumper Pad.
E. Adjust the threaded ends on the Single Floating
Pulleys so the amount showing is the same on
both pulleys. Retighten the jam nuts.
Note: You may need to loosen the jam nuts before
making adjustments.
F. Adjust the Weight Stack threaded end. Retighten
the jam nuts.
CAUTION: For safety reasons, always make
sure to turn the screw three to four full turns
so that the threads are engaged inside the
Selector Stem or Floating Pulleys before
tightening the jam nuts.

2. Cable Adjustments
You may need to adjust the cables after installation and
periodically thereafter. If the cables remain slack after
you have followed the steps found in
Cable Tension
,
perform the following:
A. Loosen the jam nut on the Weight Stack threaded
end to expose additional threads. Adjust the
threaded end until the slack is removed.
B. Loosen the jam nuts on the Floating Pulleys
threaded ends. Adjust the threaded ends until the
slack is removed. Make sure the amount of threads
exposed on one pulley is about the same as the
other pulley.
C. Check the Top Cap Weight to make sure it remains
well-seated on the Weight Stack and then retighten
the jam nuts.
D. Check the Selector Stem alignment by inserting
the Weight Pin into every hole on the Weight Stack.

Shrouds
CAUTION: Clean the Shrouds with product
specifically labeled as safe for acrylic. Use a clean,
nonabrasive cloth and light pressure to avoid
scratching the acrylic surface.
The acrylic Shrouds on the S3.15 are easily scratched
or damaged through improper cleaning techniques. To
avoid problems, dust the shrouds often with a clean,
lint-free cloth and light pressure. Avoid rubbing dirt or
grit into the surface. If you use glass cleaner or a
similar product, make sure the label states that it is
safe to use on Plexiglas® or acrylic products.
Important: DO NOT use ketones, aromatics, esters,
halogens, window cleaning sprays, alcohol, kitchen
scouring compounds, or solvents (such as acetone,
benzene, gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, or thinners).
Do not use ammonia-based cleaning solutions
because the ammonia destroys the plastic coating.
To remove light scratches on the smooth side only, use
a buffing compound such as, car wax. Lightly buff the
acrylic sheet using a clean buffer until the scratches
disappear.

Two acrylic Shrouds can be attached to the Main
Frame. Complete the assembly steps for one side of
the unit before moving the other.
The frosted side of the Shroud faces the Weight Stack.
Install the Shrouds so the cutouts allow access to the
Weight Stack Pin.
Important: Handle each Shroud with care. The
shrouds require special handling as they are easily
scratched. For proper care and maintenance, refer to
Adjustments and Maintenance
in this guide.
A. Attach a Shroud to each side of the Main Frame
using
6 - 1¾-inch buttonhead screws
6 - tapered spacers
Note: Start with top fasteners and work toward the
base. Ask your assistant to hold the Shroud in
place while you insert the top spacers and
fasteners. Alternately finger tighten all six fasteners
while adjusting the alignment.
B. Wrench tighten using a 5mm hex key.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten. You can crack or
warp the Shroud if too much pressure is applied to
the fasteners.
