Approved and Compatible Cleaners
Two preferred cleaners have been approved by reliability experts: PureGreen 24
and Gym Wipes. Both cleaners will safely and effectively remove dirt, grime,
and sweat from equipment. PureGreen 24 and the Antibacterial Force formula of
Gym Wipes are both disinfectants that are effective against MRSA and H1N1.
PureGreen 24 is available in a spray that is convenient for gym staff to use.
Apply the spray to a microfiber cloth and wipe down the equipment. Use
PureGreen 24 on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection
purposes and at least 10 minutes for fungus and viral control.
Gym Wipes are large, durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment
before and after workouts. Use Gym Wipes on the equipment for at least 2
minutes for general disinfection purposes. Contact Customer Support Services
to order these cleaners (1-800-351-3737
or email:
ustomersupport@lifefitness.com). Mild
soap and water or a mild non-abrasive household cleaner can also be used to
clean the display and all exterior surfaces. Use a soft microfiber cloth only.
Apply the cleaner to the microfiber cloth before cleaning. DO NOT use ammonia
or acid-based cleaners. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT use paper
towels. DO NOT apply cleaners directly to the equipment surfaces.
Removal of Paint, Marking Pens, or Labels
- Butyl cellosolve works well for the removal of paints, marking pen inks, lipstick, etc.
- Labels, stickers, etc. may be removed using kerosene. When the solvent will not penetrate sticker material, apply heat (hairdryer) to soften the adhesive and promote removal. GASOLINE SHOULD NOT BE USED.

Bolt to Floor Guide
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. 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 the 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.
Building Codes
It is the facility’s responsibility to adhere to local and regional building
codes. Please verify with the customer to ensure that they are aware of this.
Carpeting
If bolted down to carpet flooring, be sure to use a box cutter knife to cut
the carpet threads around each foot. This will help avoid the carpet threads
from being wrapped around and pulled by the drill bit.
Competitor Product
The bolt-down guidelines and procedures for Cybex products were determined by
the company’s Engineering and Installation Development groups. These
guidelines include which anchors to use and positioning of the anchors are
required for Cybex products.
-
Cybex does not have that level of specification or engineering input for competitive products.
-
Cybex installation teams are not permitted to anchor competitor equipment.
Drilling
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. -
This can be done by marking your drill bit with a piece of tape.
-
While it is recommended that a vacuum be used to clean up debris, this will not account for all the debris that will settle at the bottom of the drilled hole.

Pullout Force
Cybex specifies Hilti™ static and dynamic anchors. According to the anchor manufacturer, the recommended design pullout force (in tension) for the specified anchors, when properly installed in cracked concrete, is provided in the side table. This table should be used for reference only; for additional and up-to-date information on the anchor capabilities or the design pullout force in other substrates, please consult Hilti directly at https://www.us.hilti.com.

Tools Required
WARNING: Adhere to manufacturer’s equipment warnings and guidelines.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.

Vacuum (for debris)
Static Anchor Procedure
CAUTION: If it is possible that the length of your bolt will not provide the minimum requirement of 2.5” (63.5mm) of engagement, a longer anchor should be used.
-
Place unit into position to be mounted and cycle unit to set stance.
-
Each foot must get at least one static fastener.
-
Wearing protective glasses, drill down into the flooring to the required depth as perpendicular as possible, ensuring that the foot thickness is being accounted for; refer to Anchor Selection and Foot Dimensions.
-
Insert fastener and tighten to 18 Foot-Pounds (24Nm) for 1/4” (6mm) anchor or 40 Foot-Pounds (54Nm) for 3/8” (8mm) anchor. NOTE: If the legs/frame do not contact the mounting surface DO NOT pull down with the fastener or anchor. Loosen frame hardware and re-tighten to allow the machine to align.
Foot Dimensions
Use the below image to determine foot specifications.
