Safety Guidelines And Practices
Cybex recommends that all tness equipment be used in a supervised area. It is recommended that the equipment be
located in an access controlled area. Control is the responsibility of the owner. The extent of control is at the discretion
of the owner.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser/user of Cybex products to read and understand the owner’s manual, and warning
labels; as well as instruct all individuals, whether end users or supervising personnel, on proper usage of the equipment.
PROPER USAGE:
Use machine only as described in the manual. Failing to follow proper instructions may result in injury.
Do Not Lean Against or Pull On the framework, weight stack, or any component, whether machine is at rest or in use.
Inappropriate or improper use may result in injury to users or third parties (bystanders).
Do not use machine if it is not located on a solid level surface or is improperly installed.
Provide an adequate safety perimeter between the machine, walls and other equipment to ensure that the facility has
the proper clearance for usage and training.
SECURING EQUIPMENT:
The machine has holes in the feet, which allow for ease in anchoring to the oor. Cybex strongly recommends that,
to eliminate rocking, tipping or falling over due to incorrect usage and misuse, equipment be secured to a solid, level
surface.
1. The solid, level surface should not deviate more than 1/8” over a 10’ distance or as dened and required by local
building and architectural codes.
2. Anchoring of equipment must be completed by a qualied licensed contractor.
3. Anchoring holes are provided on the feet of the frame. All anchoring locations must be used when anchoring the
equipment to the oor.
4. Due to the wide variation of ooring on which machines may be anchored or installed, verify anchoring method and
anchoring fasteners with a qualied and licensed contractor.
5. A minimum pull out force of 220 lbs/100 kgs is required for each anchor position..
6. Do not use machine until it is properly anchored.
MAINTENANCE:
Preventative maintenance allows proper equipment operation and reduces the risk of injury. Perform the maintenance
requirements as specied in the manual.
STANDARD COMPLIANCE:
Cybex products meet or exceed applicable ASTM and EN Standards.
