Safety Guidelines And Practices
Cybex recommends that all fitness equipment be used in a supervised area. It is recommended that the equipment be located in an access controlled area. Control is the responsibility of the owner. The extent of control is at the discretion of the owner. It is the responsibility of the purchaser/user of Cybex products to read and understand the owner's manual, and warning labels; as well as instruct all individuals, whether end users or supervising personnel, on proper usage of the equipment. PROPER USAGE: Use machine only as described in the manual. Failing to follow proper instructions may result in injury. Do Not Lean Against or Pull On the framework, weight stack, or any component, whether machine is at rest or in use. Inappropriate or improper use may result in injury to users or third parties (bystanders). Do not use machine if it is not located on a solid level surface or is improperly installed. Provide an adequate safety perimeter between the machine, walls and other equipment to ensure that the facility has the proper clearance for usage and training. SECURING EQUIPMENT: The machine has holes in the feet, which allow for ease in anchoring to the floor. Cybex strongly recommends that, to eliminate rocking, tipping or falling over due to incorrect usage and misuse, equipment be secured to a solid, level surface. 1. The solid, level surface should not deviate more than 1/8" over a 10' distance or as defined and required by local
building and architectural codes. 2. Anchoring of equipment must be completed by a qualified licensed contractor.
8

Cybex MG-525 Owner's Manual
3. Anchoring holes are provided on the feet of the frame. All anchoring locations must be used when anchoring the equipment to the floor.
4. Due to the wide variation of flooring on which machines may be anchored or installed, verify anchoring method and anchoring fasteners with a qualified and licensed contractor.
5. A minimum pull out force of 220 lbs/100 kgs is required for each anchor position.. 6. Do not use machine until it is properly anchored. MAINTENANCE: Preventative maintenance allows proper equipment operation and reduces the risk of injury. Perform the maintenance requirements as specified in the manual. STANDARD COMPLIANCE: Cybex products meet or exceed applicable ASTM and EN Standards.
Warning/Caution Decals
Warning decals indicate a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. Caution decals indicate a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. The warning and caution decals are shown on the following page. The diagrams following the decals show where each decal is located.

follow with a light buffing using a clean white cloth. Please Review Carefully When using strong cleaning agents such as rubbing alcohol or bleach, it is advisable to first test in an inconspicuous area. Other cleaning agents may contain harsh or unknown solvents and are subject to formula changes by the product manufacturer without notice. Should you desire to use other cleaning agents, carefully try them in an inconspicuous area to determine potential damage to the material. Never use harsh solvents or cleaners which are intended for industrial applications. To clean stained or soiled areas, a soft white cloth is recommended. Avoid use of paper towels. Cleaning products may be harmful/irritating to your skin, eyes, etc. Use protective gloves and eye protection. Do not inhale or swallow any cleaning product. Protect surrounding area/clothing from exposure. Use in a well ventilated area. Follow all product manufacturer's warnings. CYBEX and its vendors cannot be held responsible for damage or injuries resulting from the use or misuse of cleaning products. 2.

Environment
Static Electricity - Depending upon where you live, you may experience dry air, causing a common experience of static electricity. This may be especially true in the winter time. You may notice a static build-up just by walking across a carpet and then touching a metal object. The same can hold true while working out on your unit. You may experience a shock due to the build-up of static electricity on your body and the discharge path of the unit. If you experience this type of situation, you may want to increase the humidity to a comfortable level through the use of a humidifier.
