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.

local building and architectural codes.
2. Anchoring of equipment must be completed by a qualified 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 floor.
4. Due to the wide variation of flooring on which machines may be anchored or installed, verify anchoring
method and anchoring fasteners with a qualified 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.
