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 at washers.
• Due to the wide variation of ooring on which machines may be anchored
or installed, consult with a qualied 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 dened and required by local building and architectural codes.

It is the responsibility of the facility owner/owner of the equipment to ensure that there is appropriate
clearance around each machine to allow for safe use and passage.
In compliance with the ADA (American Disabilities Act) there must be clear floor space of at least
30 by 48 inches and be served by an accessible route for at least one of each type of exercise
equipment. If the clear space is enclosed on three sides (e.g., by walls or the equipment itself), the
clear space must be 36 by 48 inches.
All other machines must have a clear floor space of 23” for all access point on the machine, unless
shown in the Owner’s Manual.
The dimensions stated in the assembly instructions of this manual include the maximum foot print (in
use) dimensions.
All equipment should be used in a supervised, access-controlled area.
Do not allow equipment to be used by children 12 and under. Supervise disabled and children 13 and
older.
The owner should ensure that regular inspection and maintenance checks as detailed in this manual
are performed. Keep a log of all maintenance and repair activities.
Each day before use, the owner should inspect the equipment. If there are any loose or worn
components such as belts, cables, grips, pulleys, or any missing, damaged labels, or placards, the
owner should x any deciencies before they allow the equipment to be used.
Use only Cybex components to maintain and repair the equipment.
Display the Facility Safety Sign so it is visible and prominent.
User Safety Precautions
Owners must instruct users to DO the following:
• Follow all warning labels and instructional placards when using equipment.
• Insert weight pin completely before using selectorized equipment.
• Consult a physician prior to commencing an exercise program. If at any time during exercise you
feel faint, dizzy or experience pain, stop and consult your physician.
• Use a spotter for Free Weight equipment.
Owners must instruct users to NOT DO the following:
• DO NOT pin weights on selectorized equipment in an elevated position or use the machine if
found in this position.
• DO NOT increase weight resistance on equipment by any means other than those provided by
Cybex.
• DO NOT wear loose or dangling clothing or jewelry while using equipment. Stay clear of moving
parts.
