8. Bolt to Floor Guide
Introduction
Life Fitness Family of Brands 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, Life Fitness
Family of Brands requires that strength training equipment be secured to a solid, level surface to stabilize and
eliminate rocking or tipping over.
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.

Delivery and Installation Tips
All Anchors
• Fasteners must have minimum embedment in concrete floor, not including screed, regardless of wood/tile/rubber
over sub-floor. (See Anchor Types for maximum sub-floor thickness between unit and concrete to equipment 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 equipment'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" (12.7 mm) 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: 3000 psi (20 N/mm2).
Anchoring
• All anchors must have a minimum embedment into concrete, regardless of wood/tile/rubber/screed over sub-floor.
• Dynamic anchors must have a minimum embedment depth in concrete to ensure maximum security and pull out
force. See Anchor Types for embedment depth minimums.
