Torque X-CREATE Anchoring Requirements And Instructions Download Page 2

Thank you for your purchase of the Torque Fitness X-Create. The following information will help prepare your 

facility and installation provider for the delivery and installation of the selected X-Create configuration.

SECURING Torque Fitness X-Create: 

  X-Create configurations must be anchored directly to structurally 

sufficient concrete floors to ensure maximum safety and frame rigidity.  Failure to secure the system to the 

floor could result in toppling, leading to serious injury or death.  Failure to secure it to the floor will also allow 

it to “walk” or rock while in use.  This type of movement is unsafe and could damage the floor surface.
