Safety Guidelines and Practices
TIP: 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: Serious injury or death could occur if the following safety precautions and instructions are not
followed.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Di-isobutyl Phthalate, which is known to the
State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and Antimony Trioxide, which is known to
the State of California to cause cancer. For more information go to http://www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Anchoring Equipment
Owner should not allow equipment to be used until it is properly anchored as described below.
WARNING: Anchoring equipment:
• 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.
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.
Page 4 of 24

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 fix any deficiencies
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.
•DO NOT lean or pull on machine
•DO NOT use machine for support during stretching.
•DO NOT attach resistance straps, ropes or other means to equipment, except those provided by the manufacturer
for intended use on the equipment.
•DO NOT exceed the maximum specified user weight.
•DO NOT use if equipment appears damaged or inoperable upon inspection
•DO NOT use if guards are missing or damaged.
•DO NOT remove any labeling from equipment.

indoor pool or outdoors. Exposure to extensive water vapor, chlorine and/or bromine could adversely affect other
parts of the unit.
Temperature
The unit is designed to function normally in an environment with an ambient temperature range of 50° F (10° C)
to 104° F (40° C). The unit can be shipped and stored in an environment with an ambient temperature range of 32°
F (0° C) to 140° F (60° C).
