Concealed Damage

Damage not seen with a visual check upon receipt of a shipment but notices later must be reported to the carrier as soon as possible. Upon discovery of the damage, a written or phone request to the carrier asking them to perform an inspection of the materials must be made within ten days of the delivery date. Keep all shipping containers and packing materials as they will be needed in the inspection process. The carrier will provide you with an inspection report and the necessary forms for filing a concealed damage claim. Concealed damage claim is the carrier’s responsibility.

Chapter 4: Cable Handling Guide

4.1: Cable Connections, Seating, and Installation

Cable connections with threaded cable ends are required to be installed and maintained following the specifications identified below. Failure to follow these specifications can lead to the dislocation of the threaded cable during use and can cause serious injury. Along with securing the threaded cable end and jam nut, it is important to check the entire unit and ensure that all hardware is securely fastened and not left loose upon completion of cable installation.

Warning: Use of non certified “techs” note: Service warranties may be void if a non-Life Fitness -certified technician performs service work. Replacement of any strength cables should be performed by a Life Fitness certified technician.
CABLE COMPONENTS
Item Description Qty.
1 Cable Assembly 1
2 Cable Hangtag 1
3 Jam Nut 1
4 Head Plate Assembly 1
5 Weight Plates 12
6 Weight Selector Pin Assembly 1
  • Jam nuts must be tightened toward the head plate assembly and frame anchor. Torque the jam nuts to 20-25 ft-lbs. (27.2 - 24.0 Nm).
  • Cable Hangtags to be removed by customer only.

4.2: Cabling Procedure

4.2.1: Direct Terminal

Direct terminal is when the cable is terminated directly at the head plate assembly.
  1. Thread cable into the head plate assembly at least to the jam nut. This will ensure the proper minimum thread engagement depth of 1/2 inch (12.7mm).
  2. Cycle the machine to ensure that it is in proper working order.
  3. Check the cable to ensure there is proper tension.
  4. Tighten jam nut to 20-25 ft-lbs. (27.2 - 34.0 Nm).

4.2.2: Remote Terminal

Remote terminal is when the cable is terminated away from the head plate assembly; either at the frame, workarm, etc.
  1. Measure the threaded end of the pulley assembly and cable.
  2. Screw the jam nuts onto the end of the thread on the pulley assembly and cable.
  3. Thread the pulley assembly into the head plate assembly at least 1/2 inch (12.7mm).
  4. Thread the cable into the remote terminal.
  5. Measure the exposed threads to verify that the proper thread engagement, minimum 1/2 inch (12.7mm), is screwed into the terminations.
  6. Cycle the machine to ensure that it is in proper working order.
  7. Check the cable to ensure there is proper tension.
  8. Torque the jam nuts to 20-25 ft-lbs. (27.2 - 34.0 Nm).

4.3: Tensioning Cable

Cable should have enough tension so it stays seated into the pulley but not so tight that it raises the head plate off the weight plate below it.
  1. If the head plate has lifted, loosen the jam nuts at the terminations and loosen the threaded plugs a half turn until the head plate comes to rest on the weight plate below. Check that the threaded plugs are engaged at least 1/2” (12.7mm) at each termination.

    Suspended Head Plate
    Item Description
    1 No Gap - Head plate is at rest
    2 Gap - Head plate is lifted
    3 Holes obstructed
  2. Ensure that the weight stack selector pin can pin into each weight plate.
  3. Tighten jam nuts to 20-25 ft-lbs.

4.4: Strength Cable Wear Guide

Replace cable at first sign of any of the following:

FRACTURES:
Casing can crack or fracture under strains during use. Any crack in the casing merits cable replacement even if no wire rope is exposed.
Be especially observant for fractures near the components on the cable assembly - IE. Nylon Ball, Nico Loop, Threaded Plug, etc.
TWISTING/BINDING:
Inspect casing to ensure wire rope is not twisting within its casing. Any sign of the cable twisting should be replaced immediately.
BULGING:
Internal wire rope strands can break within and coil causing a bulge to appear. Cable should retain same outside diameter throughout.
FRAYED/EXPOSED WIRE ROPE:
Any exposed wire rope protruding through the casing or at either end.
FLATTENED:
Section of cable is compressed and will not retain its shape (outside diameter).
PERMANENTLY BENT:
Cable has ‘kink’ and prohibits cable from laying straight. Wire rope may be unraveling beneath casing and is compromised warranting replacement.
ENDS SEPARATING:
Watch for component end of cable to pull away from cable assembly - look for exposed wire rope.

4.5: Insert Inspection

Inspect insert within the strain-relief cable end assembly and replace if any sign of damage.
  1. Check around plastic insert and the plastic housing for any excessive wear or damage.

Chapter 5: Bolt to Floor Guide

5.1: 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 for maximum subfloor 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 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).

5.2: 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.
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 Life Fitness 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 Life Fitness product.

  • Life Fitness does not have that level of specification or engineering input for competitive product.
  • Life Fitness 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.
