To minimize future risk, immediately do the following:
- Do not allow users to misuse the strength exercise equipment in any way. Cybex strength equipment should only be used with Cybex designed components or accessories and used as instructed by Cybex in its manual and instructional placards attached to the equipment.
- And, as requested in the instructions that accompanied any Cybex product, be sure that the strength equipment or any Cybex strength machine has been properly anchored to a level floor. If it is not, see the Cybex instruction manual for detailed information on how to anchor Cybex strength fitness equipment to the floor. This information includes:
- Type of fastener
- Strength of the fastener
- Specification for a level floor
- Pull out strength of the fastener
- The manual also states a local professional contractor should assist you on how best to anchor the machine to the varying types of flooring surfaces a facility may have, the type of equipment required to anchor the machine to a facility’s floor, or the building code requirements your facility must meet because of its location. Cybex seeks to improve the safety and function of our products and welcomes continued customer feedback.
