Safety Guidelines and Practices
Read the Owner’s Manual carefully before assembling, servicing, or using the equipment.
Owner must comply with all safety guidelines in this manual. It is also the owner’s responsibility to
instruct users on the safe and proper operation of the equipment and to properly display any and
all warning labels and instructional placards. All users should read these labels and placards before
using equipment.
WARNING
Death or serious injury could occur if the
following safety precautions and instructions are
not followed.
Anchoring Equipment
•
Owner should not allow equipment to be used until it is properly anchored
as described below.
•
To maximize stability and eliminate rocking, tipping, or falling over,
equipment must be anchored to a solid, level surface, utilizing all
anchoring holes provided.
•
Fasteners must have a minimum of 500 lbs. tensile capacity. Cybex
recommends .3/8” grade 2 bolts or better. A minimum pull force of
220 lbs/100 kgs is required for each anchor position.
•
If leg frames do not contact surface,
DO NOT pull down with anchors.
Shim any leg or frame not in contact with surface using flat washers.
•
Due to the wide variation of flooring on which machines may be anchored
or installed, consult with a qualified and licensed contractor to ensure
proper anchoring and installation.
Facility Safety Precautions
Do not allow anyone, including trainers, to use equipment in a manner other than that shown on the
warning labels and instructional placards located on every machine.
Do not install equipment on an uneven surface. The solid, level surface should not deviate more than
1/8” over a 10’ distance or as defined and required by local building and architectural codes.
