LAYOUT AND SPACING - MACHINE DIMENSIONS & WEIGHTS

7

It is recommended to leave a space of 24 inches (61 cm.) around the machine at its
maximum exercise dimensions. The spacing may be less if the machine is positioned next to
a wall, or upright-to-upright with another machine so as to prevent a user from passing
through the area. If the spacing is t o be less than the recommended 2 4 inches (6 1 cm.), then
it should be less than 12 inches (31 cm.) so as to prevent users from passing through the
area.

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.
