Cybex International partners with equipment owners to establish the safest and most effective setup
of Cybex equipment. Cybex International urges each facility owner to carefully follow all safety
precautions. Following theses precautions are the best protection against personal injury or damage
to equipment or facility.
The most important safety precaution is to maximize stability for every piece of equipment. The
equipment should be securely anchored to the oor. It is imperative the oor be level.
Cybex recommends that all tness equipment be used in a supervised area. It is recommended that
the equipment be located in an access controlled area. Control is the responsibility of the owner. The
extent of control is at the discretion of the owner.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser/owners of Cybex products to read and understand the owner’s
manual, and warning labels; as well as instruct all individuals, whether end users or supervising
personnel, on proper usage of the equipment.
Read the Owner’s Manual carefully before assembling, servicing, or using the equipment. In an
institutional environment, it is the facility owner’s responsibility to properly instruct users on the proper
operation of the equipment and to warn them of the potential hazards.
Follow and enforce the User Safety Precautions to protect both the user and the equipment.
Keep children away from selectorized strength equipment. Teenagers or disabled users must be
supervised.
Do not allow anyone, including trainers, to use equipment in a manner other than shown on the
instructional placards located on every machine.
It is the responsibility of the facility owner and/or owner of the equipment to instruct users on proper
operation of the equipment and review all labels.
WARNING: Serious injury or death could occur if these safety precautions are not
followed:
User Safety Precautions
• Read all warnings posted on the machine. Warnings are posted on each machine to alert the
user to potential problems. Following warning labels will prevent injury or equipment damage.
• Read and understand warning labels and instructional placards prior to exercising. Obtain
instruction prior to use. Each machine has instructions posted on the equipment for proper
use.

Cybex 18020 Bravo Pull Owner’s Manual
Use the selectorized and plate loaded machines as shown on placards.•DO NOT modify the
machine.
Never pin the weights in an elevated position. •DO NOT use the machine if found in this condition.
Seek assistance from oor staff. Weights pinned up have the potential to fall if the user pulls the
pin. Floor staff should lower the weights to prevent potential problems.
Be certain that the weight pin is completely inserted (for selectorized strength equipment that •
employ weight stacks). If the pin is not completely inserted the user may accidentally drop the
weights if the pin falls out.
Never use dumbbells or other means to incrementally increase the weight resistance. Use only •
those means provided by the manufacturer for the equipment. Altering the machine design by
adding additional weight as with dumbbells or other means can injure the user, may damage the
equipment, and will void the warranty.
Set up, anchor, and operate selectorized strength equipment on a solid level surface. •If the oor is
not level the equipment is not stable.
•DO NOT wear loose or dangling clothing or jewelry while using selectorized strength equipment.
Stay clear of all moving components. Loose clothing or dangling jewelry can become entangled in
moving parts and potentially cause severe injury or damage.
Consult a physician prior to commencing an exercise program. If at any time during exercise you •
feel faint, dizzy or experience pain, stop and consult your physician. Users must be responsible
and cautious with the condition of their own health. Consulting a physician before beginning a
program can alert the user to the personal risk if health is an issue.
Use a spotter for Free Weight equipment. •A spotter adds an additional level of safety.
•DO NOT exceed the maximum specied user weight. Too much weight on a machine may prevent
it from proper function or damage the machine.
•DO NOT use if equipment appears damaged or inoperable upon inspection. If the equipment
appears damaged or inoperable- contact the oor staff.
DO NOT• attempt to x a broken or jammed equipment. Notify oor staff. It is the owner’s
responsibility to repair broken or jammed equipment.
•DO NOT use if guards are missing or damaged. A missing or broken guard should be replaced by
a qualied technician. Guards prevent things from interfering with function.
•DO NOT remove any labeling from equipment. Replace any damaged labels. Labels give users
specic information and alerts. Replacing damaged labels ensures users can read the labels for
information provided.
Facility Safety Precautions
•Read the Owner’s Manual carefully before assembling, servicing or using the equipment.
It is the sole responsibility of the user/owner or facility operator to ensure that regular maintenance •
is performed.

Cybex 18020 Bravo Pull Owner’s Manual
Inspect the equipment for worn or loose components prior to use. Tighten/replace any loose or •
worn components before to using. Pay close attention to belts, cables, grips or pulleys and their
connections. Always look for potential problems in equipment condition. Loose components should
be tightened to function properly. Replacing worn components maintains the equipment is in the
best condition for regular use.
To maximize stability, securely anchor each machine to the oor using the anchor holes provided •
in each machine. Each machine must be set up, anchored, and operated on a solid level surface.
Do not install equipment on an uneven surface!
Death or serious injury will occur if the
DANGER !
following requirements are not met:
Ensure that all users are properly trained on how to use the equipment.•
Verify there is enough room for safe access and operation of the equipment. Spacing requirements •
for each piece of equipment vary depending on placement. The Assembly section gives equipment
dimensions but it is up to the facility to verify there is clearance between and around each machine
to operate without interference.
Perform regular maintenance checks on the equipment as detailed in the Maintenance section •
of this manual. Inspect all areas most susceptible to wear, including, (but not limited to) cables,
pulleys, belts, and grips.
Cybex is not able to anchor the equipment due to local building codes.
The owner is responsible for the actual anchoring of equipment.
Consult with a professional contractor.
Use fasteners having a minimum of 500 lbs. tensile capacity -- Cybex
recommends 3/8” grade 2 bolts or better.
If legs/frame does not contact surface, DO NOT pull down with
anchors. Shim any leg or frame not in contact with surface using at
washers.
Immediately replace worn or damaged components. If unable to immediately replace worn or •
damaged components then remove from service until the repair is made.
Use only Cybex supplied components to maintain/repair the equipment.•
Keep a repair log of all maintenance activities.•
Display the Facility Safety Sign so it is visible and prominent.•

Cybex 18020 Bravo Pull Owner’s Manual
Securing Equipment
Do not use machine until it is properly anchored.
The machine has holes in the feet, which allow for ease in anchoring to the oor. All anchoring holes
must be used to maximize stability. Equipment must be secured to a solid, level surface to eliminate
rocking, tipping, or falling over due to incorrect usage and misuse.
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.
Anchoring of equipment must be completed by a qualied licensed contractor.
Due to the wide variation of ooring on which machines may be anchored or installed, verify
anchoring method and anchoring fasteners with a qualied and licensed contractor.
A minimum pull out force of 220 lbs/100 kgs is required for each anchor position.
PROPER USAGE
Use equipment only as described in the manual or on the placards located on each machine. Failing
to follow proper instructions may result in injury.
WARNING: Serious injury or death could occur if the following warnings are not
enforced: DO NOT Lean Against or Pull On the framework, weight stack,
or any component, whether machine is at rest or in use. Inappropriate or
improper use may result in injury to users or third parties (bystanders)
