recommends .3/8” grade 2 bolts or better. A minimum pull force of
220 lbs/100 kgs is required for each anchor position.
• If leg frames do not contact surface, DO NOT pull down with anchors.
Shim any leg or frame not in contact with surface using at washers.
• Due to the wide variation of ooring on which machines may be anchored
or installed, consult with a qualied and licensed contractor to ensure
proper anchoring and installation.
Facility Safety Precautions
Do not allow anyone, including trainers, to use equipment in a manner other than that shown on the
warning labels and instructional placards located on every machine.
Do not install equipment on an uneven surface. The solid, level surface should not deviate more than
1/8” over a 10’ distance or as dened and required by local building and architectural codes.
