The Cybex FT 360 Functional Trainer is an advanced training tool, allowing near infinite
adjustability. This section will provide you with pertinent information for using the FT 360,
including: adjustment and safety; weight stack and effective resistance; exercise
opportunities.

FT 360 Overview
The arms on the FT 360 adjust in two planes of motion, offering the unique ability to truly
fine-tune the path-of-motion. These planes of motion are composed of a “Rotational” pattern
and a “Reach” pattern. The available rotation totals 180 degrees of motion. Providing
10-positions, numbered 1-10, separated in 20-degree increments. The available reach is a
total of 45 degrees of motion, with 3 positions of adjustment separated in 15-degree
increments. These adjustments are lettered A-C, which can be manipulated allowing
modification for user height or desired range-of-motion.
Each arm is counterbalanced in both directions, providing ease of adjustment and a reliable
safety profile. A grip is located on the arm as a reference point for holding the arm during
adjustment.
NOTE: It is recommended that the arm be controlled during adjustment for optimal safety.
Additionally, ensure that the path that the arm moves in during adjustment is clear
of persons and other objects.
One 300 lb. weight stack provides the resistance for both exercise arms. Each plate is 20 lbs.,
allowing 15 adjustments. Additionally, a 10 lb. drop-on increment weight is provided to
fine-tune the resistance. The high-mass short-travel weight stack decreases momentum and
inertia, making the FT 360 appropriate for rehabilitation and sport performance training.
The cabling mechanism in the FT 360 is unique allowing for either unilateral or bilateral
exercise. The effective resistance when working with each arm thus becomes one-forth the
weight of each weight plate. For instance, if working with only the top-plate, the user will
experience only 5 lbs. (4:1) when using only one arm and 10 lbs. (2:1) when working with the
arms together. The increment weight effectively becomes 2.5 lbs. with one arm and 5 lbs. with
both arms.
! CAUTION: Make sure weight stack pin is fully inserted prior to use.
