ANCHORING
IMPORTANT:
The INSTINCT AB BENCH must be secured to the floor to stabilize and
eliminate rocking or tipping over. This must be performed by a licensed contractor.
Failure to anchor the unit will void the warranty. NAUTILUS shall not be liable for
damage or injury caused by unanchored or improperly anchored units.
The INSTINCT AB BENCH must be anchored to the floor using through bolts or anchoring studs. Each foot pad on the unit
provides two anchoring holes that will accommodate bolts of up to 12mm (7/16") diameter. Only one hole in each foot pad is
required during anchoring. The holes used for anchoring may be selected based on installation site requirements or customer
preference.
Anchoring bolts/studs must meet the following requirements:
n
Anchor bolts shall be Grade 8.8 or Grade SAE 5.
n
Anchoring bolts or studs shall have a minimum size of 6mm (1/4") diameter; 8mm (5/16") diameter bolts/studs are
recommended.
n
Pull-out force shall be 100kg (2201 lbs) minimum for any single anchor. This will ensure a secure anchoring system and
safe operation of the unit by all users.
