Cable Handling Guide
Cable Terminations, Tensioning and Wear Guide
Cable Connections with threaded cable ends are required to be installed and maintained following the specifications identified below.
Failure to follow these specifications can lead to the dislocation of the threaded cable during use and can cause serious injury. Along
with securing the threaded cable end and jam nut, it is important to check the entire unit and ensure that all hardware is securely
fastened and not le loose upon completion of cable installation.
WARNING: Use of non certified “techs” note: Service warranties may be void if a non-Cybex-certified technician performs
service work. Replacement of any strength cables should be performed by a Cybex certified technician.
Cable Terminations
1. Cable must be threaded at least ½ inch (12.7mm) into termination points; at headplate (A) and frame/carriage (B).
2. Certain models are now equipped with a bayonet portal to assist checking proper thread engagement. To do so, attempt to pass a
7mm Allen wrench through the portal, if it goes through, more threads are needed to meet the minimum requirement.
3. When proper thread engagement is reached, tighten jam nut to 20-25 FT-LBS (27.2 - 34.0 Nm) using a 24mm wrench.
Page 30 of 38
Tensioning Cable
Cable should have enough tension so it stays seated into the pulley but not so tight that it pulls the head plate o the weight plate
below it.
1. If the head plate has lied, loosen the jam nuts at the terminations and loosen the threaded plugs a half turn until the head plate
comes to rest on the weight plate below. Check that the cable's threaded plugs are engaged at least 1/2” (12.7mm) at each
termination point.
SEATED HEAD PLATE SUSPENDED HEAD PLATE
1. No gap 1. Gap
2. Bayonet obstructing weight stack pin
2. Ensure that the weight stack selector pin can fully engage into each weight plate.
Item Description Qty.
1 Weight Stack Selector Pin 1
3. When proper thread engagement is reached, tighten jam nut to 20-25 FT-LBS (27.2 - 34.0 Nm) using a 24mm wrench.

Strength Cable Wear Guide
Replace cable at first sign of any of the following:
FRACTURES:
Casing can crack or fracture under strains during use. Any crack in
the casing merits cable replacement even if no wire rope is
exposed.
Be especially observant for fractures near the components on the
cable assembly - IE. Nylon Ball, Nico Loop, Threaded Plug, etc.
TWISTING/BINDING:
Inspect casing to ensure wire rope is not twisting within its
casing. Any sign of the cable twisting should be replaced
immediately.
BULGING:
Internal wire rope strands can break within and coil causing a
bulge to appear. Cable should retain same outside diameter
throughout.
FRAYED/EXPOSED WIRE ROPE:
Any exposed wire rope protruding through the casing or at either
end.
FLATTENED:
Section of cable is compressed and will not retain its shape
(outside diameter).
PERMANENTLY BENT:
Cable has ‘kink’ and prohibits cable from laying straight. Wire
rope may be unraveling beneath casing and is compromised
warranting replacement.
ENDS SEPARATING:
Watch for component end of cable to pull away from cable
assembly - look for exposed wire rope.

Bolt to Floor Guide
Introduction
Life Fitness Family of Brands designs its products to be stable when used as designed. Because strength training is dynamic, we
cannot predict how users will ultimately use the products in all circumstances. Therefore, Life Fitness Family of Brands recommends
that strength training equipment be secured to a solid, level surface to stabilize and eliminate rocking or tipping over.
Each new unit shipped comes with a multi-language hangtag stating the importance of bolting the unit down as a safety precaution.
It is the facility’s responsibility to adhere to local and regional building codes.
Delivery and Installation Tips
All Anchors
• Fasteners must have minimum embedment in concrete floor, not including screed, regardless of wood/tile/rubber over sub-floor.
(See Anchor Types for maximum sub-floor thickness between unit and concrete to equipment foot must be made of flooring or
other material (i.e. no air gaps)).
• DO NOT reuse fasteners. Static and Dynamic anchors are designed for one-time use only.
• Factor in equipment’s feet height when selecting fastener length.
• Factor in flooring thickness when selecting fastener length.
• It is also recommended to drill an additional 1/2” (12.7 mm) of depth beyond the length of the fastener being used to ensure that
debris does not block the entry of the anchor.
• Minimum concrete compressive strength: 3000 psi (20 N/mm2).
Anchoring
• All anchors must have a minimum embedment into concrete, regardless of wood/tile/rubber/screed over sub-floor.
• Dynamic anchors must have a minimum embedment depth in concrete to ensure maximum security and pull out force. See Anchor
Types for embedment depth minimums.
Building Codes
It is the facility’s responsibility to adhere to local and regional building codes. Please verify with the customer to ensure that they are
aware of this.
Carpeting
If bolted down to carpet flooring, be sure to use a box cutter knife to cut the carpet threads around each foot. This will help avoid the
carpet threads from being wrapped around and pulled by the drill bit.
Competitor Product
The bolt down guidelines and procedures for Cybex products were determined by the company’s Engineering and Installation
Development groups. These guidelines include which anchors to use and positioning of the anchors are required for Cybex product.
• Cybex does not have that level of specification or engineering input for competitive product.
• Cybex installation teams are not permitted to anchor competitor equipment.
Drilling
It is also recommended to drill an additional 1/2” (12.7 mm) of depth beyond the length of the fastener being used to ensure that
debris does not block the entry of the anchor.
• This can be done by marking your drill bit with a piece of tape.
• While it is recommended that a vacuum be used to clean up debris, this will not account for all the debris that will settle at the
bottom of the drilled hole.

Static Anchor Procedure
CAUTION: If it is possible that the length of your bolt will not provide the minimum requirement of 2.5” (63.5mm) of
engagement, a longer anchor should be used.
1. Place unit into position to be mounted and cycle unit to set stance.
2. Each foot must get at least one static fastener.
3. Wearing protective glasses, drill down into the flooring to the required depth as perpendicular as possible, ensuring that the foot
thickness is being accounted for; refer to Anchor Selection and Foot Dimensions.
4. Insert fastener and tighten to 18 Foot-Pounds (24Nm) for 1/4” (6mm) anchor or 40 Foot-Pounds (54Nm) for 3/8” (8mm) anchor.
NOTE: If the legs/frame do not contact the mounting surface DO NOT pull down with the fastener or anchor. Loosen frame
hardware and re-tighten to allow machine to align.
