cloth.
• If necessary, a solution of liquid cleanser and water applied with a soft bristle brush. Wipe
away the residue with a water dampened cloth.
Maintenance
Page 5-1
Cybex VR Owner’s Manual
More Difficult Stains
• Dampen a soft white cloth with a solution of household bleach (sodium hypochlorite),
10% bleach, 90% water. Rub gently. Rinse with a water dampened cloth to remove
bleach concentration.
• The same procedure can be used with full strength household bleach, if necessary.
• Allow bleach to puddle on the affected area or apply with a soaked cloth for
approximately 30 minutes. Rinse with a water dampened cloth to remove any
remaining bleach concentration.
Alternative Method for Difficult Stains
• Dampen a soft white cloth with rubbing alcohol and rub gently. Rinse with a water
dampened cloth to remove any remaining rubbing alcohol concentration.
NOTE: To restore luster, a light coat of spray furniture wax can be used. Apply for 30
seconds and follow with a light buffing using a clean white cloth.
Please Review Carefully
When using strong cleaning agents such as rubbing alcohol or bleach, it is advisable to
first test in an inconspicuous area. Other cleaning agents may contain harsh or unknown
solvents and are subject to formula changes by the product manufacturer without notice.
Should you desire to use other cleaning agents, carefully try them in an inconspicuous
area to determine potential damage to the material. Never use harsh solvents or cleaners
which are intended for industrial applications. To clean stained or soiled areas, a soft white
cloth is recommended. Avoid use of paper towels.
Cleaning products may be harmful/irritating to your skin, eyes, etc. Use protective gloves
and eye protection. Do not inhale or swallow any cleaning product. Protect surrounding
area/clothing from exposure. Use in a well ventilated area. Follow all product
manufacturer’s warnings. Cybex and its vendors cannot be held responsible for damage
or injuries resulting from the use or misuse of cleaning products.
2. Frames - Wipe down all frames using a mild solution of warm water and car wash soap.
Be sure to dry thoroughly. AVOID acid or chlorine based cleaners and also cleaners
containing abrasives as these could scratch or damage the equipment.
3. Chrome - Clean chrome tubes, first using chrome polish and then using a car wax seal.
Neutral cleaners with a pH between 5.5 and 8.5 are recommended. Be sure to dry
thoroughly. AVOID acid or chlorine based cleaners and also cleaners containing abrasives
as these could scratch or damage the equipment.

Row/Rear Delt - 4815
• Planes of Motion - The long parallel or
vertical handles are specifically designed to
allow motion in the sagittal plane (extension).
The horizontal handles allow motion in the
horizontal plane for posterior deltoid (rear delt)
work. The length/position of the handles
allows use of either set from the same seat
position.
The Latissimus Dorsi
• Extension - The latissimus dorsi is
responsible for extension as well as adduction
of the shoulder joint. This machine is designed
to resist shoulder extension from the front. The
lat is also involved in internal rotation of the
shoulder, however, this is a mechanically weak
motion and becomes the limiting factor in
strength when combined with other motions.
The teres major works alongside the upper
fibers of the lat in extension.
• Range of Motion -Row/extension begins with
the arm positioned forward (shoulder joint in
approximately 90 degrees of flexion) and ends
with the arm at the side in 0 degrees. Full
concentric shortening of the lat can only occur
when the associated scapular motion is
performed with the shoulder motion. With
motion and resistance from the front, scapular
MUSCLES TRAINED
retraction is required. For the arm to return to
the starting position, scapular motion is not
required. However, if protraction is allowed during the eccentric phase, then the scapula
must be reset in retraction at the beginning of the next repetition.
Exercises
Page 2-17
Cybex VR Owner’s Manual
• Associated Muscles - The rhomboids and middle fibers of the trapezius are responsible
for scapular retraction. The posterior deltoid is an assistant mover for shoulder extension.
The long head of the triceps is also involved in shoulder extension, although change in its
length is limited when elbow flexion coincides with shoulder motion. The biceps, brachio
radialis, and brachialis are always involved in pulling movements as elbow flexion is
required. The degree of their individual involvement depends upon radioulnar joint
position.
The Posterior Deltoid
• Horizontal Abduction - The posterior deltoid is responsible for horizontal abduction of
the shoulder joint. Due to the attachment of the rear deltoid on the scapula, the scapula
must remain stabilized during shoulder joint motion. If scapular movement occurs, the
resistance will move without change in the length of the rear delt, minimizing
effectiveness. The teres minor and infraspinatus are also prime movers for horizontal
abduction.
• Range of Motion - Horizontal abduction is limited concentrically at approximately 10 - 20
degrees (posterior to the shoulder) and eccentrically at approximately 90 degrees of
horizontal adduction (arms to the front) when the scapula remains retracted. From the
starting position in front, the arms move outward then back at shoulder level as the
concentric action is performed.
• Associated Muscles - The rhomboids and middle fibers of the trapezius are responsible
for stabilization of the scapula in retraction. The teres major and upper fibers of the
latissimus dorsi are assistant movers for horizontal abduction. The biceps, brachioradialis,
and brachialis are always involved in pulling movements as elbow flexion is required. The
degree of their individual involvement depends upon radioulnar joint position.
The Positioning
• Adjust the seat to align the horizontal handles with the top of the shoulders.
• Adjust the chest pad to allow both hands to reach the handles while protracting. Moving
into the “chest up” erect posture should then allow full motion.
• Check the weight to insure that the appropriate resistance has been selected. Body
position and control of the motion should never be compromised by excessive weight.
Exercises
Page 2-18
Cybex VR Owner’s Manual
The Motion - The Row
• Grip the lower end of the vertical or parallel
handles.
• Retract the scapula (pinch the shoulder blades
back and together).
• While maintaining the scapular position and the
chest on the pad, bring the arms to your sides.
• Slowly return to the starting position without
resting.
• If the scapular position changes,reset the scapula
retraction at the beginning of each repetition.
START POSITION
The Motion - The Rear Delt
• Grip the horizontal handles.
• Retract the scapula (pinch the shoulder blades
back and together) and maintain.
• Bring the elbows back as far as possible, keeping
them at shoulder level. “Lead with the elbows” to
decrease elbow flexor (biceps) involvement.
• Slowly return to the starting position, maintaining
scapular retraction. Repeat without resting.
