NSTALLATION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
S
AFETY
1. Read this Installation Manual entirely before assembling this equipment.
2. Verify that there is adequate space surrounding this piece of equipment for safe access and
operation. Installation must meet ADA requirements for accessibility.
3. Install this piece of equipment on a solid level surface that does not deviate more then 1/8”
over a 10’ distance (or as defined and required by local building and architectural codes.
4. Paramount strongly recommends that all equipment be anchored to the floor to prevent
movement and increase stability.
•Due to the wide variation of flooring on which the unit can be installed, contact a
qualified contractor to determine an appropriate fastening system for your floor.
•Use 3/8” diameter hardware (10 mm) to anchor the machine. Anchors should have a
minimum pull out force of 220 lbs (110 kgs) for each position.
•When attaching the machine to the floor, if there is a gap between the machine foot
and the floor, do not use the anchor to remove the gap as this can cause the
machine frame to deform. Instead, place a shim between the bottom of the foot and
the floor, then tighten the anchor.
•Anchoring holes are provided on the feet of the frame. All anchoring locations must
be used when anchoring the equipment to the floor.
5. DO NOT install any fitness equipment near a pool, hot tub or other damp locations. Corrosion
caused by installation in these locations can lead to premature failure of components.
6. Be sure all hardware is tight before using this machine.

FS B
The machines in this product line were designed and tested to meet the ASTM (American) and EN
(European) safety standards for stability (without floor anchors) when the machine is used for it’s
intended purpose as designated by the manufacturer.
However, Paramount strongly recommends that all equipment be anchored to the floor to prevent
movement and increase stability.
OLT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS
•You will need to order an anchoring kit for each machine. This kit will include brackets and
instructions for securing the brackets to the machines. Note: the kit does not include the
floor anchor bolts. Order part number: FS-BLTDN-000X, 1 kit per FS machine.
•Due to the wide variation of flooring on which the unit can be installed, contact a qualified
contractor to determine an appropriate fastening system for your floor.
•Use 3/8” diameter hardware (10 mm) to anchor the machine. Anchors should have a
minimum pull out force of 220 lbs (110 kgs) for each position.
•When attaching the machine to the floor, if there is a gap between the machine foot (or
bracket) and the floor, do not use the anchor to remove the gap as this can cause the
machine frame to deform. Instead, place a shim between the bottom of the foot and the
floor, then tighten the anchor.
