INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The safety of using products is dependent on proper installation carried out according to the instructions
provided with the device by the producer. Only properly installed devices may be used. Before releasing
devices to the public it is imperative to check that the installation has been carried out correctly.

TRAINER external fitness devices are are designed, installed, serviced and delivered to the enduser
based on the requirements of norms PN-EN 13485:2012 and PN-EN 16630:2015.

GENERAL REMARKS
The recommended minimal distance (so called safe area) between external fitness devices and other
objects situated in their vicinity should be:
● for devices with a fall height up to 150cm – the safe are is 150cm from each side of the
device
● for devices with a fall height greater than 150cm – the safe area = 0.5m + 0.67 x the height
of the device
Due to a small fall height under the fitness devices various sorts of surfaces may used such as: earth,
turf, concrete, sand, gravel, bark or other materials.

PART I – THE FOUNDATION

1. Select the place for the foundation.

2. Measure out the dimensions of the foundation

makes sense to prepare the concrete on site. A

The pylon is ready to accept the fitness device
(or 2).

6. The pylon (as shown to the left) has 2 places

to mount devices (1 upper and 1 lower).
Depending on the device, it is mounted to both
places, or only to the lower one.
In order to install a device to 1 place you will
need: 4 bolts 12mm diameter 35mm in length
(40mm in the case of mounting 2 devices) 8
washers, 4 cap nuts and a no. 19 wrench. The
bolts, washers and nuts must be galvanized or
made of stainless steel. Washers must be
applied to both sides of the pylon, flat side to
the pylon, rounded side to the nut.
5. After installing the pylon to the foundation,
you can now start to install the fitness device or
two if that is the case.

7. Bring the device to the installation area on the 8. When 1 screw is installed, apply the other 3

and stick the instructions of use onto the pylon.

WARNING !!!
Some devices mounted to a pylon have their
own additional ‘small’ foundation of the
dimensions 500x300x200 mm.

These devices are: air walker, cross trainer, ski

walking, bicycle, rider, rower,.
This additional foundation is made 100mm
below ground level.
It is easy to make such a foundation using half a
curbstone. The device is mounted to it using 2
no. 12 screws and rawplugs.
