Safety
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.

Cybex Owner’s Manual

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.

The dimensions stated in the assembly instructions of this manual include the maximum foot print (in
use) dimensions.
• Area is not in the vicinity of high humidity, such as in the vicinity of a steam room, sauna, indoor
pool or outdoors. This unit is designed to function normally in an environment with a relative humid-
ity range of 30% to 75%.
Exposure to extensive water vapor, chlorine and/or bromine could adversely affect the electronics as
well as other parts of the unit.
• Area maintains an ambient temperature range of 50° F (10° C) to 104° F (40° C) degrees.
Tools Required
• Rubber mallet
• Flat head screwdriver
Assembly Procedure
Plastic shipping foot glides are used on Cybex Strength Systems machines to protect the bottom of
machines during transportation. These foot glides must be removed before a machine is placed in
service, the shipping foot glides will cause the machine to be unstable.
CAUTION: Remove glides
To avoid serious injury or property damage, remove foot glides before placing unit in
service. If guides are not removed unit will not be stable.
REMOVE FOOT GLIDES
1. Raise the foot of the machine slightly off the floor remove foot glides. Do not install weight stack (if
applicable) until all foot glides have been removed.
2. Loosen each foot glide by striking foot glide with rubber mallet.
3. Pry off foot guide using a flat blade screwdriver.
4. Place rubber feet (supplied with machine) on each foot of the frame.
Securelyanchormachinetotheoor
Cybex strongly recommends to maximize stability, equipment must be secured to a solid level
surface.
WARNING: Anchoring equipment:
• Cybex is not responsible for the actual anchoring of equipment. Consult with a
professional contractor.
• Use fasteners having a minimum of 500 lbs. tensile capacity (3/8’’ grade 2 bolts or
better).
• If legs/frame does not contact surface, DO NOT pull down with anchors. Shim
any leg or frame not in contact with surface using at washers.

Exercise
Intended Use
The intended use of this equipment is to aid or improve general physical tness and exercise. For
Commercial use.
Before you workout
Prior to starting a training program, get a complete physical exam to make sure your physician agrees
that you are ready. Always warm-up your muscles before a workout. A 5 - 10 minute cardio warm-
up followed by slow stretching (no bouncing) is recommended. Continue with a lighter set (50% of
normal) of intended exercises. Start your program conservatively. Choose weights you can easily
lift in the rst weeks. Always perform the full range of motion unless you have an injury, then consult
a professional trainer. Know the terms. A “repetition” (rep) is dened as one complete movement
through an exercise, returning to the start position. A “set” is a continuous series of reps usually
between 6-15.
During your workout
The number of reps you perform in a set depends on your goal. To build muscle and strength, do
fewer reps (6 - 8) with heavier weight. To build endurance, do more reps (12-15) with lighter weight.
Never “cheat” by shortening the range of motion, bouncing the weight, or shifting your posture. This
may allow you to lift more weight, but it is dangerous and less effective. Catch your breath between
sets, then continue. When “circuit training” move briskly to the next exercise; when doing multiple sets
on one exercise, rest 45 - 90 seconds before the next set. Work up to three sets per exercise. When
you can perform the desired reps and sets for any exercise, increase the weight by a half or full plate.
Designing your workout
Circuit training is a good way to start. This involves doing one set per exercise, then moving to
the next exercise, pausing only briey between them (to keep your heart and breath rate up) until
completing a balanced “circuit” of 8 - 10 exercises for your entire body. Then repeat the circuit. After
several weeks, you can move into multiple sets (3 in a row) per exercise if you choose. For both of
these, exercise the complete body every other day, up to three times a week. NOTE: A full day’s rest,
plus proper nutrition and hydration are required for optimum muscle-building or toning. Alternatively,
work out half your body one day (e.g., the upper body) and the other half the following day (e.g. the
lower body). At the end of your workout, cool down in a similar way to your warm-up.
