FAQs
How do I adjust the settings? When the springs are fully disengaged, use the spring-loaded pins to slide the entire mechanism forward or backward and secure the Gearbar in any of the six stopper settings. Make sure the spring-loaded pins click into place and test the stability by gently moving the bar. Then, insert the desired springs into the designated slots.
Are the settings similar to the Traditional Gearbar? The High-Precision Gearbar's position is directly related to the carriage stopper, just like the Traditional system. However, the added settings on the High-Precision version allow for a closer match between the carriage and Gearbar positions. As a general rule, the numbered position of the Gearbar should align with the carriage stopper (e.g. 1 and 1, 2 and 2). The three extra settings provide more options for gradually adjusting the spring tension at the start of an exercise and throughout the entire range of motion. These added settings help prevent slackening or excessive initial tension in the springs.
- Footwork: Align the knees directly above the hips while in a supine (lying on the back) position with the heels on the bar. Then, match the position of the Gearbar with the carriage stop position (e.g. 1 and 1 corresponds to the Wooden Standing Platform; 4 and 4, etc.).
- Arm work: Adjust the rope length with the carriage stopper in position 2, and then make further adjustments as needed with the Gearbar to achieve the optimal range of motion.
- Feet in Straps: For optimal range of motion, adjust the stopper and Gearbar after setting the rope length.
