Important Safety Instructions
Important Safety Instructions
for Using the Equipment
Before beginning any fitness program, you should
obtain a complete physical examination from your
physician.
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, basic precautions
should always be taken, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the Solana
equipment. These instructions are written to
ensure your safety and to protect the unit.
• Do not allow children on or near the equipment.
• Use the equipment only for its intended purpose
as described in this manual. Do not use accessory
attachments that are not recommended by the
manufacturer: such attachments might cause
injuries.
• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your
workout—no loose clothing.
• Use care when getting on or off the unit.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion.
• If you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms,
stop your workout immediately and consult

1Before You Begin
Before You Begin
Thank you for purchasing the Solana. This unit is part
of the Pacific Fitness line of quality strength training
machines, which let you target specific muscle groups
to achieve better muscle tone and overall body
conditioning. To maximize your use of the equipment,
please study this guide thoroughly.
Unpacking the Equipment
The Solana is carefully tested and inspected before
shipment. Pacific Fitness ships the unit in several
pieces that require assembly. Ask for assistance during
the assembly process.
• Review the Installation Requirements found on the
next page.
• When instructed to open a box, carefully unpack the
pieces and lay them on the floor near the location
where you plan to use the equipment.
Be careful to open boxes and assemble components in
the sequence presented in this manual.
If any items are missing, contact the dealer from whom
you purchased the unit or call 1-800-4-PRECOR for
the dealer nearest you.

2Preparations
Preparations
CAUTION: To set up this unit, you will need
ssistance. Do not attempt assembly by yourself.
You must review and follow the instructions in this
guide. If you do not assemble and use the Solana
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 wrench
❏¾-inch socket wrench
❏⁹⁄₁₆-inch box wrench
❏¾-inch box wrench
❏Standard set of metric hex keys
❏Two adjustable pliers or crescent wrenches
❏Measuring tape
❏Wire tie cutter (cuts plastic tie wraps)
❏Rubber mallet
❏Step stool
Installation Requirements
Follow these installation requirements when assembling
the unit:
•Fill out and mail the limited warranty card. The
warranty card is found on the back cover of this
guide.
•Set up the Solana on a solid, flat surface. A
smooth, flat surface under the unit helps keep it
level. A level unit has fewer malfunctions.
•Provide ample space around the machine.
Open space around the machine allows for
easier access.
•Insert all bolts in the same direction. For
aesthetic purposes, insert all the bolts in the
same direction unless specified (in text or
illustrations) to do otherwise.
•Leave room for adjustments. Tighten fasteners
(such as bolts, nuts, and screws), so the unit is
stable, but leave room for adjustments. Do not
fully tighten fasteners until instructed (in the steps)
to do so.
Assembly Tips
• 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 size bolts and
spacers. The head of a bolt is not used in
measuring the length of a bolt.
Note: A few of the bolts used to assemble the
Solana are longer than 6 inches. You may want to
use a measuring tape to accurately identify the
correct sizes.
To find out the length of a particular bolt, measure
its shank (the long, narrow part beneath the head).
Refer to the following diagram:
Bolt head
Bolt threads
Shank
To determine the
length of a bolt,
measure its shank.
• Read all caution notes on each page before
completing that step.
• Some pieces have extra holes that you will not use.
Use only those holes indicated in the instructions
and illustrations.
• While you may be able to assemble the Solana by
reading the illustrations only, refer to the text for
important safety cautions and notes.

Instructions
Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the Solana takes professional installers
about 2 hours to complete. If this is the first time you
have assembled this type of equipment, plan on
significantly more time.
Professional installers are highly recommended!
However, if you acquire the appropriate tools, obtain
assistance, and follow the assembly steps sequentially,
the process will take time, but is fairly easy.
CAUTION: Obtain assistance! Do not attempt
to assemble the Solana by yourself. Review the
Installation Requirements on page 6 before
proceeding with the following steps.
The Solana comes in two boxes.
Be careful to open boxes and assemble components in
the sequence presented in this manual.
Note: With so many assembled parts, proper alignment
and adjustment is critical. While tightening the nuts and
bolts, be sure to leave room for adjustments. Do not
fully tighten bolts until instructed to do so.

4Adjustments and
Maintenance
1. Cable Adjustments
When the Solana 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.
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.
If you experience any of the above signs of cable
problems, make the adjustment as follows:
A. Place the Weight Pin in the Top Cap Weight to
ensure the least cable resistance.
B. Insert both Pec Fly Locking Pins so that the Pec Fly
Arms are in the locked position.
C. Pull up on the Pec Fly Arms and tighten or loosen
the Press Arm Stop so that it rests on the Chest
Press Upright.
D. Lower the Pec Fly Arms.
E. Make certain that the Weight Pin can be inserted
into every hole in the Weight Stack.

2. Selector Stem Adjustments
To prevent the Selector Stem from contacting the inside
of the Weight Stack when the machine is in use, you
need to check the vertical angle of the Selector Stem
(steps A and B). If the stem slides smoothly without
contacting the inside of the weight plates, assembly of
the unit is complete.
CAUTION: Performing the following tasks requires
two people.
A. Remove the Weight Pin from the Weight Stack.
B. Perform an exercise using each part of the Solana.
When the base of the Selector Stem is clear of the
Weight Stack, observe the position
of the Selector Stem.
The following sections describe how to adjust the
Selector Stem when contact does occur.
The Selector Stem can be adjusted forward, backward,
and vertically depending on the area of contact.
Forward Angle Adjustment
When the Selector Stem angles forward (toward the
seat) and contacts the inside of the Weight Stack
during use, adjust it by following these steps:
CAUTION: This adjustment requires two people.
A. Completely disassemble the Top Cap Weight,
Selector Stem, and U bracket.
B. Thread the Allen head set screw into the hole
closest to the top of the U bracket and turn it
clockwise until the end of the screw is flush with
the inside surface of the U bracket.
C. Turn the set screw clockwise another one-half turn
(see diagram).

inside the Weight Stack.
F. If the Selector Stem continues to contact the plates,
repeat steps A through E until the Selector Stem
slides through the Weight Stack without contacting
the plates.
Backward Angle Adjustment
When the Selector Stem angles backward (away from
the seat) and contacts the inside of the Weight Stack
during use, adjust it by following these steps:
CAUTION: This adjustment requires two people.
A. Completely disassemble the Top Cap Weight,
Selector Stem, and U bracket.
B. Thread an Allen head set screw into the hole
closest to the top of the U bracket and turn it
clockwise until the end of the screw is flush with
the inside surface of the U bracket.
C. Turn the set screw clockwise another one-half turn
(see diagram).
D. Reassemble the Top Cap Weight, Selector Stem,
and U bracket.
E. Test again the movement of the Selector Stem
inside the Weight Stack.
F. If the Selector Stem continues to contact the plates,
repeat steps A through E until the Selector Stem
slides through the Weight Stack without contacting
the plates.

the Weight Pin (through a weight)
near the base of the Selector Stem.
CLoosen the socket cap bolt and align
the Selector Stem.
DOnce the Selector Stem is centered,
retighten the socket cap bolt
securely.
Step 2. Selector Stem Adjustments, Continued
Side-to-Side Vertical Adjustment
If the Selector Stem contacts the inside of the Weight
Stack during use or the Weight Pin becomes difficult to
insert in the Weight Stack, the Selector Stem may be
out of alignment vertically side to side. Adjust the
Selector Stem by following these steps:
CAUTION: This procedure requires two people.
A. Pull the Selector Stem and Top Cap Weight up to
expose at least five Selector Stem holes.
B. Insert the Weight Pin near the base of the Selector
Stem to hold it in place.
C. To center the Selector Stem, loosen the socket
cap bolt that attaches the Top Cap Weight to the
U bracket.
D. Once the Selector Stem is centered, retighten the
socket cap bolt securely.
E. Lower the Selector Stem into the Weight Stack.
Test the movement of the Selector Stem inside the
Weight Stack.
F. Make certain that the Weight Pin can be inserted
into every hole in the Weight Stack. If the Selector
Stem continues to contact the plates, repeat steps
A through E until the Selector Stem slides through
the Weight Stack without contacting the plates.
After completing the adjustments, fill out the warranty
card and mail it in.
