12 NAUTILUS INSTINCT LEG PRESS / CALF RAISE OWNER’S MANUAL
ANCHORING
IMPORTANT: The INSTINCT LEG PRESS / CALF RAISE 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 LEG PRESS/ CALF RAISE 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:
Anchor bolts shall be Grade 8.8 or Grade SAE 5.
Anchoring bolts or studs shall have a minimum size of 6mm (1/4") diameter; 8mm (5/16") diameter bolts/studs are
recommended.
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.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
As with any exercise program, strength training involves an element of risk. The information provided in this section will help
you and/or your members make safe and productive use of your NAUTILUS INSTINCT LEG PRESS / CALF RAISE.
ALWAYS consult a physician before beginning any strength-training program. This is particularly important for persons
with known health conditions and/or persons that are not familiar with the risks involved with weight training.
All training sessions should be supervised by trained personnel.
BE SURE that all warning labels and placards affixed to the INSTINCT LEG PRESS / CALF RAISE remain on the unit.
DO NOT alter warning labels and placards. BE SURE that each user reads and understands the information shown on all
labels and placards (safety, instructional and/or other).
Instruct all users on the proper use of the INSTINCT LEG PRESS / CALF RAISE, as well as those actions that should be
avoided.
Your INSTINCT LEG PRESS / CALF RAISE has been designed to accommodate a wide variety of body types. Prior to use,
mount the unit and adjust the seat height to ensure comfortable operation of the leverage arm.
To minimize user and/or bystander injury:
Do not lean the against framework, weight stack or any component, regardless of whether it is dynamic or static.
Stay clear of all components while in a dynamic state of motion. Keep hands and feet away from cables, belts, cams and
pulleys and/or any converging action. The convergence of these transmission-based components can cause serious injury.
Exercising on free weight and selectorized products should be performed with the assistance of a spotter.
