Exercise
General Exercise Information
Intended Use
The intended commercial use of this machine is to aid exercise and improve general physical fitness.
Prior to Exercise
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 cardio warm-up followed by stretching is typically recommended.
Start Your Program Conservatively
Choose weights you can easily in the first several weeks. Typically, a full range of motion is recommended, but consult a qualified
professional if you have questions about whether a full range of motion is appropriate for you due to existing limitations, injury or
discomfort. Injuries to health may result from incorrect or excessive training.
A “repetition” (rep) is defined 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, fewer reps (6 - 8) with heavier weight is recommended in each set. To build endurance, more reps (12-15)
with lighter weight is typically recommended.
At the end of your workout, cool down in a similar way to your warm-up.

Single Stations
Abdominal (CI-AB)
Muscles Used: Abdominals
Setup: Sit on the seat with your feet placed under the foot supports and lower back pressed against the lumbar
pad. Check the weight stack to ensure appropriate resistance. Place the handles over your shoulders.
Grasp the handles and place your hands against your chest with your elbows tight to your sides.
Movement: With a controlled motion, contract torso by shortening the distance between your lower rib cage and your
hips. Emphasize the use of your abdominal muscles. Avoid your hands your chest. Maintaining
control, return to the start position and repeat the motion. Concentrate on contracting your abdominal
muscles throughout the exercise. Do not return the handles to the rest position until you are finished with
the exercise.

• Inspect hardware on all machines and tighten any bolts or nuts that may have loosened over the life of the product.
Notes
• Use polishing compound (such as car wax) and remove shoe from powder coated surfaces as necessary.
Cleaning the Shrouds
• Adherence to regular and proper cleaning procedures is recommended to preserve the appearance.
NOTE: Spray the approved cleaner on a towel, and then wipe down the shrouds to avoid saturation of shroud inlays.
Minimize Scratches
• Wash the shrouds with an approved or compatible cleaner. Do not scrub brushes on the shrouds. Fresh paint splashes, grease and
smeared glazing compounds can be removed easily before drying by rubbing lightly with isopropyl alcohol. a warm final
wash should be made.
Approved and Compatible Cleaners
Two preferred cleaners have been approved by reliability experts: PureGreen 24 and Gym Wipes. Both cleaners will safely and
remove dirt, grime and sweat from equipment. PureGreen 24 and the Antibacterial Force formula of Gym Wipes are both
disinfectants that are against MRSA and H1N1.
PureGreen 24 is available in a spray which is convenient to use. Apply the spray to a microfiber cloth and wipe down the equipment.
Use PureGreen 24 on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes and at least 10 minutes for fungus and
viral control.
Gym Wipes are large, durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment before and workouts. Use Gym Wipes on the
equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes.
Contact Customer Support Services to order these cleaners (1-800-351-3737 or email: customersupport@lifefitness.com).
Mild soap and water or a mild non-abrasive household cleaner can also be used to clean the display and all exterior surfaces. Use a
microfiber cloth only. Apply the cleaner to the microfiber cloth before cleaning. DO NOT use ammonia or acid based cleaners. DO
NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT use paper towels. DO NOT apply cleaners directly to the equipment surfaces.
Removal of Paint, Marking Pens, or Labels
• Butyl cellosolve works well for removal of paints, marking pen inks, lipstick, etc.
• Labels, stickers, etc. may be removed using kerosene. When the solvent will not penetrate sticker material, apply heat (hair dryer)
to the adhesive and promote removal. GASOLINE SHOULD NOT BE USED.
Important Hazards
• DO NOT use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners on the shrouds.
• NEVER scrape shrouds with squeegees, razor blades or other sharp instruments.
• DO NOT clean shrouds in hot sun or at elevated temperatures.
• NEVER use benzene, gasoline, acetone or carbon tetrachloride on the shrouds.
• Manufacturer recommends that cables be inspected daily installation and replaced annually.

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 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 65 of 68
Tensioning Cable
Cable should have enough tension so it stays seated into the pulley but not so tight that it pulls the head plate the weight plate
below it.
1. If the head plate has 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.
