Cybex 16062 Olympic Decline Bench Owner’s Manual

Safety

Safety

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.

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. Children must be supervised.

Do not allow anyone, including trainers, to use equipment in a manner other than shown on the
instruction 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 user manual prior to exercising. Obtain

instruction prior to use. Each machine has instructions posted on the equipment for proper
use.

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. See 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.

3

Cybex 16062 Olympic Decline Bench Owner’s Manual

Inspect the machine 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.

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, potentially cause severe injury or damage, or ruin the clothing
or jewelry.

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 specied user weight. Too much weight on a machine may

prevent it from proper function. Too much weight on a machine may damage the
machine.

• DO NOT use if equipment appears damaged or inoperable upon inspection. If the machine

appears damaged or inoperable- contact the oor staff.

DO NOT• attempt to x a broken or jammed machine. Notify oor staff. It is the owner’s
responsibility to repair broken or jammed equipment.

• DO NOT use if guards are missing or damaged. Replace all missing or damaged parts to

ensure function and safety. Guards prevent things from interfering with function.

• DO NOT remove any labeling from equipment. Replace any damaged labels. Labels give users

specic 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.

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.

Safety Guidelines And Practices

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/user 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.

Cybex 16062 Olympic Decline Bench 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. Cybex strongly recommends equipment 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 dened and

required by local building and architectural codes.

Anchoring of equipment must be completed by a qualied licensed contractor.

Anchoring holes are provided on the feet of the frame. All anchoring locations must be used when

anchoring the equipment to the oor.

Due to the wide variation of ooring on which machines may be anchored or installed, verify
anchoring method and anchoring fasteners with a qualied and licensed contractor.

A minimum pull out force of 220 lbs/100 kgs is required for each anchor position.

PROPER USAGE

Use machine only as described in the manual. 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)

STANDARD COMPLIANCE

Exercise

Intended Use

The intended use of this machine is to aid or improve general physical tness and exercise for

commercial use.

Before you workout

Prior to starting a training program, get a complete physical exam to make sure your physician agrees
that you are ready. Always warm-up your muscles before a workout. A 5 - 10 minute cardio warm­up followed by slow stretching (no bouncing) is recommended. Continue with a lighter set (50% of
normal) of intended exercises. Start your program conservatively. Choose weights you can easily

lift in the rst weeks. Always perform the full range of motion unless you have an injury, then consult
a professional trainer. Know the terms. A “repetition” (rep) is dened as one complete movement
through an exercise, returning to the start position. A “set” is a continuous series of reps usually

between 6-15.

During your workout

The number of reps you perform in a set depends on your goal. To build muscle and strength, do

fewer reps (6 - 8) with heavier weight. To build endurance, do more reps (12-15) with lighter weight.
Never “cheat” by shortening the range of motion, bouncing the weight, or shifting your posture. This

may allow you to lift more weight, but it is dangerous and less effective. Catch your breath between

sets, then continue. When “circuit training” move briskly to the next exercise; when doing multiple sets

on one exercise, rest 45 - 90 seconds before the next set. Work up to three sets per exercise. When
you can perform the desired reps and sets for any exercise, increase the weight by a half or full plate.

Designing your workout

Circuit training is a good way to start. This involves doing one set per exercise, then moving to

the next exercise, pausing only briey between them (to keep your heart and breath rate up) until
completing a balanced “circuit” of 8 - 10 exercises for your entire body. Then repeat the circuit. After
several weeks, you can move into multiple sets (3 in a row) per exercise if you choose. For both of

these, exercise the complete body every other day, up to three times a week. NOTE: A full day’s rest,
plus proper nutrition and hydration are required for optimum muscle-building or toning. Alternatively,

work out half your body one day (e.g., the upper body) and the other half the following day (e.g. the
lower body). At the end of your workout, cool down in a similar way to your warm-up.
