procedure). However, if the surface is more resistant, or the Strenth range equipment has to be lifted and lowered into place,
then six people will be required.

4.2 Where to place the PULSE FITNESS Strength
range
WARNING: Following all safety instructions move the
PULSE FITNESS Strength range to the location in which it
will be used. See Section 6, titled Exercise & Product
Information, for the dimensions of the footprint. Allow a
clearance of 1.0m (3.28ft.) in the direction the Strength
range is accessed from. Generally allow at least 0.6m
(2ft.) towards the sides of the Strength range [Figure A].
4.3 How to Stabilise the PULSE FITNESS
Strength range
Make sure the PULSE FITNESS Strength equipment is
stable and placed on a solid surface. After placing, check
the unit’s stability by attempting to rock it. Any slight
rocking indicates that the unit must be securely fixed to
the floor!
The equipment is designed to be freestanding; however, it
can be bolted to the floor for extra stability. PULSE
FITNESS highly recommends that the equipment be
bolted to the floor to reduce the risk of toppling the
equipment due to improper use. Since floor
constructions can vary, please consult a professional
building engineer for proper fastening.
