Torque Fitness X-Series Installation instructions

ANCHORING INSTRUCTIONS
X-RACKS AND X-LABS ARE HEAVY PIECES OF EQUIPMENT. THEY ARE
INTENDED TO SUPPORT SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT DURING ROUTINE
USE AND SHOULD BE SECURELY ASSEMBLED AND FASTENED
TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE OF SUITABLE CONSTRUCTION.
FAILURE TO TAKE PROPER CARE IN SITE SELECTION, ASSEMBLY
OR INSTALLATION CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
These setup instructions are not
intended to be exhaustive,
but are only intended for illustrative
purposes and to be used as guidelines
to provide to your contractor.
Professional installation
is required.
Electrical wires, water pipes etc. can
be running underneath a oor so
understand what is below before
drilling.
Read these instructions carefully
before proceeding and follow the
installation directions carefully
to minimize the risk of injury or
property damage.

REQUIRED TOOLS AND HARDWARE
FOR ANCHORING TO CONCRETE FLOORS
Hammer Drill
Masonary drill bit
(Reference anchors for correct size)
3/8” x 3”Concrete anchors
3/8”Washers Level
Socket Wrench and Socket

ANCHORING LOCATIONS
X-Lab Upright X-Rack Upright
Notes:
Complete assembly of entire frame and position the X-Lab or X-Rack where desired prior1.
to starting the anchoring procedure. Some attachments such as the Step-Up, Ground
Rotational Trainers, or Accessory Trays may interfere with the drilling operation and
should be left o or removed prior to anchoring.
Using a level, ensure that the uprights are vertically level. Use the included cardboard2.
template for the X-Lab.
If the concrete oor is covered with padded carpet or rubber, it is recommended that3.
cutouts be made around the base plates so that the uprights can be mounted directly to
the oor. This will ensure that the system is stable.
The X-Rack provides two anchoring locations and the X-Lab provides four per upright.4.

ANCHORING INSTRUCTIONS
Using a concrete drill bit (reference your hardware for the correct size), drill a 3” hole1.
through the anchoring hole in the base plate. (To prevent the drill from contacting the
upright, place a piece of cardboard between the drill casing and the upright)
Vacuum all concrete dust from the hole, then using a socket wrench, fully tighten a con-2.
crete bolt and washer to the recommended torque specications of the bolts being used.
(Failure to remove all concrete dust may prevent the anchor from going in all the way)
Repeat the operation to the second anchoring hole in the upright.3.
Perform this procedure one upright at a time, pausing to ensure that each upright is still4.
vertically level before drilling holes.

ANCHORING TO OTHER TYPE OF FLOORS
FOR ANCHORING TO WOOD FLOORS
Professional installation is especially important for wood oors because dierent wood oor structures
require dierent methods of installation.
We suggest providing the following guidelines to your contractor.
TYPE 1: Wood Floor of hardwood 3” or thicker (Note: Wood oors of this thickness are rare.)
Using a 1/4” drill bit, drill a 3” hole through the anchoring hole in the base plate. (To1.
prevent the drill from contacting the upright, place a piece of cardboard between the drill
casing and the upright)
Clear any wood shavings from the hole, then using a socket wrench, fully tighten a 1/2” x2.
3” lag bolt and washer until it is driven all the way into the hole.
Repeat the operation to the second anchoring hole in the upright.3.
Perform this procedure one upright at a time, pausing to ensure that each upright is still4.
perpendicular to the ground before drilling holes.
TYPE 2: Wood Floor over concrete substrate
Follow the procedure outlined on the previous page for mounting to concrete oors. The exact length
of the concrete anchors will depend on the thickness of the wood overlay. Minimum length of concrete
penetration to be 2-1/2”.
TYPE 3: Wood oor is made of a combination of hardwood, and/or plywood, and/or other materials.
Consult your contractor
After completing and before using, check that the all of the anchoring
bolts and the frame bolts are properly tightened. Test the system by
having multiple people push it up and away from themselves to ensure
that the frame is securely xed to the oor before training on.
