CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL EXERCISE GUIDELINES • General Like any sport, strength training involves an element of risk. The following recommendations will help to ensure that training is as productive and safe as possible. Prior to embarking on any strength training program, it is recommended that each user consult with a physician. All training sessions should be supervised by trained personnel. Be sure all warning labels are read and understood by each user.
CYBEX Classic Owners Manual Glossary Acceleration the rate at which an object's velocity changes with time; that is the change of velocity divided by the time interval. Accuracy freedom from error. Degree of conformity of a measure to a standard or a true value. Adipose tissue fat tissue. Aerobic utilizing oxygen. Aerobic endurance the ability to persist in physical activities that rely heavily upon oxygen for energy production.
CYBEX Classic Owner's Manual • • Circuit Training a conditioning program consisting of a number of exercises perfonned at "stations". Usually, a given exercise is perfonned at a station within a specified time; then the athlete moves to the next station, with its own particular exercise and pecified time, then to the next station, and so on. Collagen a fibrou protein that serves as the major component of ligaments and tendons.
CYBEX Classic Owners Manual Force a push or pull exerted upon some object; an action exerted by one body on another that tends to change the state of motion of the body acted upon. Hypertrophy increased cell size leading to increased tissue size. Inertia the property of an object that allows it to stay in rest or motion. An object with high inertia is difficult to set in motion. Once in motion, it is difficult to top. Intermittent work work sessions intenupted by rest sessions.
CYBEX Classic Owner's Manual • • Muscular endurance the ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated contraction against a light load for an extended period of time. Obesity excess body fat. Overload to exerci e a muscle or muscle group against resistance greater than that which is normally encountered. The resistance (load) can be maximal or near-maximal. Potential energy energy by virtue of position. Power work performed per unit time.
CYSEX Classic Owner's Manual Steady state that state of physiological stability wherein the energy demands of the body can be met relatively easily for a prolonged period of time. Strength the ability to exert muscular force briefly. Submaximal exercise usually exercise at less than maximal intensity, but may also refer to exercise of less than maximal duration.

CYBEX Classic Owner's Manual • Weekly Procedures 1. In pect all nuts and bolts for looseness. Tighten as required. 2. Inspect all cables for wear or damage and proper tension. When inspecting cables, run your fingers on the cable, paying particular attention to bends in the cable and attachment points. Replace all worn cables immediately. The following conditions may indicate a worn cable: • A tear or crack in the cable sheath that exposes the cable. See Figure I. I \ .
CYBEX Classic Owner's Manual 3. Check narrow grip handle attachment hole for wear. Replace if significant wear is visible. Do not use if less than 1/8' of material remains to the edge. See Figure 5. Attachment Hole NOTE: Replace bar if less than 1/8" of material remains to the edge. Figl:Jre 5 4. Inspect bars and handles for wear, paying particular attention to tab area connecting points. • Replace all worn handles immediately. 5. Inspect snap links for proper latching (indicates wear).
CYBEX Classic Owner's Manual • Yearly Procedures Replace all cables at least annually. "As Required" Procedures 1. Inspect grips and replace as necessary. 2. Clean Range Limiting Device so that the cam tracks are wiped clean and lightly lubricated with a Teflon base spray lubricant (Superlube®). 3. Remove Cable End Bearings and lubricate thoroughly with a medium-weight automotive engine oil. To lubricate: Loosen rod end bearing jam nut with a 9/16" wrench.
CYBEX Classic Owner's Manual 2. Rod End Adjustment· This type of adjustment contains a socket head cap screw (SHeS) securing a cable rod end bearing to the machine. Primary adjustment is by turning the rod end bearing. The other end of the cable usually contains a roll pin cable adjustment. See Figures 7 and 8. r---""?"'"---Cable Rod End Bearing Figure 7 3. Roll Pin Adjustment· This type of adjustment utilizes a roll pin and series of holes in the weight stack top plate connector. See Figure 8.
CYBEX Classic Owner's Manual • Cable Tension Check NOTE: Assure weight stack top pLate is flush with weight stack prior to, and during, cabLe tension check. 1. Select a point on the cable half way between weight stack and pulley. 2. Push cable right or left. Cable deflection greater than 3/4" (I" for RLD units) indicates excessive lack. Deflection of 1/4" to 3/4" (112" to I" for RLD units) is nonnal, as is a slight increase in lack between checks. See Cable Tension Adjustment to adjust tension.
CYBEX Classic Owner's Manual Cable Tension - Jam Nut Adjustment TOOLS REQUIRED FOR THIS PROCEDURE: • • 11/16" Open end wrench (2 required) NOTE: For cables with a jam nut adjustment at one end and a roll pin adjustment at the other end, you must perform the jam nut adjustment to correct cable tension. Perform roll pin adjustment if rod end adjustment does not provide proper tension. NOTE: Cable ends on some equipment are covered by protective plastic caps. Remove and replace caps as required. 1.
CYBEX Classic Owner's Manual • Cable Tension - Rod End Adjustment TOOLS REQUIRED FOR THIS PROCEDURE: • • 9/1 6" Open end wrench 7/32" Allen Wrench NOTE: For cables with a rod end adjustment at one end and a roll pin adjustment at the other end, you must perform the rod end adjustment to correct cable tension. Perform roll pin adjustment if rod end adjustment does not provide proper tension. 1. Using a 9/16" open end wrench, loosen jam nut on rod end bearing several turns. See Figure 10.
CYSEX Classic Owner's Manual 5. Test cable tension (see Cable Tension Check). Deflection of 1/4" to 3/4" indicates proper tension. If top weight plate does not rest securely against the second plate and selector pin cannot be fully inserted, there is too much tension on the cable. 6. Remove rod end bearing to readjust if required. Install rod end bearing. Check tension and selector pin fit. 7. When deflection is within limits, using a 9/16" open end wrench, tighten rod end jam nut. 8.
CYBEX CI8S$ic Owners Manual • 2. Using a 3/16" pin punch and hammer, drive roll pin out of top plate connector and cable fitting. 3. Grip cable fitting firmly, pull down to tighten cable. Rotate fitting to align roll pin hole with an opening in top plate connector. 4. Insert pin punch through top plate connector and roll pin hole to hold cable in place. 5. Drive roll pin through top plate connector and fitting from opposite side, pushing out pin punch. Assure roll pin ends are flush. 6.
