Set up and Assembly
Setting up the 600H Hiker by Cybex is straightforward. Before you
unpack the machine, however, be sure to select a suitable site.
Choosing and Preparing a Site
The area that you select for your 600H Hiker should be well-lit and
well-ventilated. Locate the 600H Hiker on a structurally sound and
level surface (do not place in recessed areas or on plush carpet) a
few feet from walls and other equipment. Allow for safe access and
passage during use of the machine. If the 600H Hiker is located
above the first floor, place it near or above major support beams. If
the area has a heavy plush carpet, the airflow around the base of the
unit may be restricted or the carpeting may interfere with the moving
parts. To protect the carpeting and the machinery, you can place a
3/4” (1.9 cm) thick wood or rigid plastic base under the 600H Hiker.
Do not install the 600H Hiker in an area of high humidity, such as
the vicinity of a steam room, sauna, or indoor pool. Exposure to
intensive water vapor and/or chlorine could adversely affect the
electronics, as well as other parts of the machine.
Disassembly of the 600H Hiker can be unsafe if you don’t follow
directions. The following disassembly steps are listed in sequential
order. In some cases, you can ignore some steps. In those cases we
have listed the steps you must follow before further disassembly.
WARNING: It is very important to recognize that with few
exceptions the tension from the linkage system must be released
before continuation of disassembly. Safety glasses should be
worn while assembling or disassembling the linkage system.
STEP 1-Removing the Shrouds
(Tools required–One Phillips head screwdriver.)
1. Locate and remove all 15 metal screws and washers.
2. Locate and remove two 10-32 x .50” long screws, one on
each side of the unit.
3. Locate and remove one 10-32 x .75” long screw, on the front
of the unit.
4. Slide the right side shroud up and over the handle.
5. Slide the left side shroud up and over the handle.
6. Push one pedal to the bottom of the stroke. Remove the
center shroud.
7. The Hiker should now look like figure 2-1.
STEP 2-Releasing Tension from the Linkage System
(Tools required–One 5/16” Allen wrench, safety glasses.)
1. Position yourself straddling the side tube as shown in figure
2-2.
2. Grasp the long tie rod assembly with one hand and try to
rotate. You should feel resistance.
