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.
Serious injury or death 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.
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.
Page 3 of 19
Big Iron 19041/19051 Power Rack Part Number 19041-999-4 C

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 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.

Exercise
Intended Use
The intended commercial use of this machine is to aid exercise and improve general physical fitness.
Instructions
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 first
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 defined 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 briefly 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.

request a RMA from Cybex, if applicable. Under no circumstances will defective parts or equipment be
accepted by Cybex without proper RMA and an Automated Return Service (ARS) label.
Please contact Cybex Customer Service for the return of any item that is defective.
Provide the technician with a detailed description of the problem you are having or the defect in the item
you wish to return. Provide the model and serial number of your Cybex equipment.
At Cybex’s discretion, the technician may request that you return the problem part(s) to Cybex for
