ANCHORING

40
36
IMPORTANT: The INSTINCT CRUNCH MACHINE must be secured to the floor to stabi-
lize and eliminate rocking or tipping over. This must be performed by a licensed con-
tractor. Failure to anchor the unit will void the warranty. STAR TRAC shall not be
liable for damage or injury caused by unanchored or improperly anchored units.
The INSTINCT CRUNCH MACHINE must be anchored to the floor using through bolts or anchoring studs. Each foot pad on
the unit provides two anchoring holes that will accommodate bolts of up to 12mm (7/16") diameter. Only one hole in each foot
pad is required during anchoring. The holes used for anchoring may be selected based on installation site requirements or cus-
tomer preference.
Anchoring bolts/studs must meet the following requirements:
Anchor bolts shall be Grade 8.8 or Grade SAE 5.
Anchoring bolts or studs shall have a minimum size of 6mm (1/4") diameter; 8mm (5/16") diameter bolts/studs are recom-
mended.
Pull-out force shall be 100kg (2201 lbs) minimum for any single anchor. This will ensure a secure anchoring system and
safe operation of the unit by all users.
