Bolt To Floor Guidelines; Introduction - CYBEX PP-ACO Assembly Manual

Introduction

Cybex designs its products to be stable when used as designed. Because strength training is dynamic, we cannot
predict how users will ultimately use the products in all circumstances. Therefore, Cybex recommends that strength
training equipment be secured to a solid, level surface to stabilize and eliminate rocking or tipping over. For some
equipment, securing the equipment to the floor is REQUIRED.
• Any unit with three or less weight stacks is REQUIRED to be bolted to the floor.
• Any unit that will be used with body weight strap training equipment, ropes, straps or chains in which case it
is REQUIRED to be secured to the floor.
Each new unit shipped comes with a multi-language hangtag stating the importance of bolting the unit down as
a safety precaution.
It is the facility's responsibility to adhere to local and regional building codes.
ALL ANCHORS:
• Fasteners must have minimum embedment in concrete floor, not including screed, regardless of wood/tile/rubber
over subfloor. (See Anchor Selection
foot must be made of flooring or other material (i.e. no air gaps)).
• DO NOT reuse fasteners. Static and Dynamic anchors are designed for one-time use only.
• Factor in equipement's feet height when selecting fastener length.
• Factor in flooring thickness when selecting fastener length.
• It is also recommended to drill an additional 1/2" (12.7mm) of depth beyond the length of the fastener being
used to ensure that debris does not block the entry of the anchor.
• Minimum concrete compressive strength: 3000psi (20 N/mm2).
