4 Assembling and Maintaining the StretchTrainer
If any facility personnel witness unsafe use of the
equipment, the staff member should address the user
directly, demonstrate the proper technique, and review
the Safety Information for Users. Precor recommends
posting a copy of the Safety Information for Users near the
equipment in a prominent location.
Assemble and operate the StretchTrainer on a solid, level
surface. Make sure that the unit is installed with enough
free space for safe operation. As a general rule, allow
about a 4-foot (1 meter) circle of space from the user’s
center.
Check the equipment thoroughly based on the
recommended maintenance schedule outlined in this
manual.
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
repaired. Make sure the facility’s personnel know not to
allow anyone to use the equipment until it is working
properly.
Do not attempt to free any jammed assemblies alone as
this may cause injury. With the help of another person,
carefully return the mechanism to its proper resting
position.
Do not place the equipment outdoors or on wet surfaces.
