Anchoring Machines To The Floor - Paramount Fitness XL2 Series Installation & Assembly Manual

The machines in this product line were designed and tested to meet the ASTM (American) and EN
(European) safety standards for stability (without floor anchors) when the machine is used for it's
intended purpose as designated by the manufacturer.
However, Paramount strongly recommends that all equipment be anchored to the floor to prevent
movement and increase stability.
• Due to the wide variation of flooring on which the unit can be installed, contact a qualified
contractor to determine an appropriate fastening system for your floor.
• Use 3/8" diameter hardware (10 mm) to anchor the machine. Anchors should have a
minimum pull out force of 220 lbs (110 kgs) for each position.
• When attaching the machine to the floor, if there is a gap between the machine foot and the
floor, do not use the anchor to remove the gap as this can cause the machine frame to
deform. Instead, place a shim between the bottom of the foot and the floor, then tighten the
anchor.
Anchoring holes are provided on the feet of the main frames. See the diagram below showing how to
access the mounting holes. All anchoring locations must be used when anchoring the equipment to
the floor.
