4kPulley2 Manual v2.5.0 Warning
Like any exercise program, it is important that users are capable
of performing exercises on this exercise equipment and have
veried this with their personal physician.
During Use
Personal injuries may occur if the relevant precautions are not observed.
• Work out at a submaximal** intensity until you are familiar with the equipment.
• Keep away from moving and/or rotating parts.
•
•
• Do not let the pulley block hit the kPulley height adjuster during use, absorb the eccentric load before it hits
the device.
• If you feel dizzy or experience pain, stop exercising immediately.
• Exercising at maximum intensity may cause temporary staggering and uncontrolled body movements due to
fatigue. Exercise caution to prevent falling.
• Exxentric takes no responsibility for any injuries that may occur while using this product.
Please read and understand the user manual and warning labels prior to use.
• Inspect the machine including the drive belt before use. Damaged or worn parts and warning labels be
replaced. See user manual for how to change and cut the drive belt. Do not modify the machine or repair it
with non OEM parts.
• Before you start training, make sure the pulley block snap shackle is properly closed and connected.
•
• The machine and accessories are intended for strength training only. Do not use them in any other way.
• The kPulley can deliver a supramaximal* workload. Do not exercise at an intensity above your physical
capacity.
• The device is not suitable for children or animals.
WARNING
*) Supramaximal means higher than maximal. This means higher loads than your muscles can produce
themselves in a shortening (concentric) action.
**) Submaximal means below maximal. In this case, we would recommend below 75% of maximum intensity.

Inertia factor means the highest possible inertia divided by the lowest possible inertia. With the advanced
ywheel knob it is possible to reach an inertia factor of x56 and an inertia range of 0.005 to 0.280 kgm2.
This range of motion is when the height adjuster is in middle position on the beam. Depending on the position
of the height adjuster this range will increase or decrease in value.

Step 2
Screw the assembled kPulley beam onto the wall.
Note: To ensure the beam gets attached properly, screw it into the
wall loosely and slide the height adjuster over the beam connector.
If this runs smoothly, remove the height adjuster and tighten
remaining screws.

Step 1
Pull out the drive belt, the Exxentric logo should face
the beam as seen in the second image below.
Step 3
Take the small pulley block, pull the drive belt
around the black wheel and then back towards the
height adjustment pulley.
Step 5
Pull the drive belt in through the upper slot of the
belt stop and then out through the lower slot.
Step 2
Keep the logo of the drive belt facing the beam. Pull
the drive belt behind the bottom wheel of the height
adjustment pulley, over the bottom wheel and then
horizontally outwards from the beam.
Step 4
Pull the drive belt over the upper plastic wheel,
under the metal rod and then up towards the belt
stop.
Step 6
Put the magnetic piece of the drive belt on the
beam and start training!

This allows for a range of inertia between 0.005 and 0.140 kgm2*.

*) With the advanced ywheel knob you can attach 4 ywheels to
the kPulley, meaning you can achieve an inertia factor of x56 and
an inertia range of 0.005 to 0.280 kgm2.
INTRODUCTION
The kPulley must be rmly xed to a wall or column. Use
the designated (round) holes in the center of the beam or
x using a strong belt in the bent metal pieces on the back
of the beam.
We recommend having the foot protection attached to the
kPulley, in order to protect the user from injury.

FEATURES
The kPulley is a ‘multi-exercise ywheel device’. Which
muscle is being exercised depends on which exercise is
being performed.
The principle is that through muscular force you accelerate and
high forces stimulate the muscles to increase in size and the nervous
system to increase activation of the muscles. These effects together
increase strength over time if the exercise is repeated regularly.
The resistance is variable and unlimited.
put more effort into lifting it. Resistance is variable so if you pull less,
Every repetition in a set can be maximal instead of only the last
one, which is the case with traditional weights. This results in a
also hypertrophy*.
*) Hypertrophy refers to an increase in muscle size achieved
through exercise.
The kPulley provides for increased eccentric workloads.
The skeletal muscles can produce more force in the eccentric,
traditional weights, which always weigh the same.
and then decelerate in a shorter amount of time, you will have
to produce a higher eccentric force. This will be similar to lifting
weights that would normally be too heavy to lift unless assisted by
a training partner, but executing the eccentric (lengthening) phase
by yourself. Check out the Exxentric Online Academy for more
information on eccentric overload.

14kPulley2 Manual v2.5.0 Usage
USAGE
Stand in front of the kPulley on the oor. The correct range
of motion will depend on which exercise you wish to
perform.
The range of motion can be set by:
A. Adjusting the height of the sliding belt stop.
B. Adjusting the amount of excess belt coming out of the belt
stop.
C. Moving closer or further away from the kPulley.
You can set the height the belt should come out from the
kPulley using the numbers on the beam as a guide.
Pull the knob to release the lock. Hold the sliding part in place and
position.

kPulley
Pull gently for 1-2 repetitions to assess that you have the
correct inertia and positioning and then increase to the
desired exercise intensity.
For beginners and rehab patients doing lower body exercises,
the top position should be just before all active joints are fully
extended. For experienced users, there can be some slack in the
top.
To attach the kPulley to a pole or a rack, use the brackets
on the back of the beam and our kPulley attachment kit.
Make sure to use at least four straps; one at the top and one at the
bottom of each beam.

KPULLEY MAINTENANCE
Drive Belt Cautions
Belt
The drive belt and its attachment to the shaft is the most
sensitive part of the kPulley.
When the belt shows signs of wear and tear, trim the end by
cutting off the damaged area or replace it with an original spare
drive belt.
For recommendations on how to prolong the lifespan of your drive
belt, please refer to our videos on best practices, found here:
www.exxentric.com/support/maintenance/
When the drive belt shows signs of wear and tear, trim the
end by cutting off the damaged area or replace it with an
original spare drive belt.
If damage occurs close to the shaft it is possible to cut off the
damaged end and reattach the new end. You can watch the
procedure by scanning the QR code or by following the steps
below:
1. Remove the shaft cover, use T30 torx key from the tool kit.
2. Hang the shaft cover on the height adjustment pulley hook.
17kPulley2 Manual v2.5.0 kPulley Maintenance
3. Unwind all of the belt from the shaft and use the 3 mm hex key
to push the belt through the shaft and remove the lock pin.
4. Cut off the damaged belt. Harden the edge with a lighter.
5. Pull the belt through the shaft from the side with the narrower
groove. Fold the belt around lock pin and pull the belt and pin
into the wider groove in the shaft.
6. The belt automatically locks into the groove when you pull it
place in the shaft (highlighted in third photo above).
7. Put the shaft cover back on and start training.
Note: If the lock pin is dropped inside the chassis, there is a spare
one in the tool kit. If both are lost, remove the chassis from the
beam and pick them up.
Remove the belt from the shaft as above, pull it out
through the shaft and through the pulley block and the
sliding pulley. Untie the drive belt from the belt stop.

Low intensity and low to medium inertia
Medium inertia and low intensity
More eccentric overload
For all Exxentric devices, we want to stress that new
exercises and users should be taught using MEDIUM inertia
and LOW INTENSITY.
Since this will be slow, controlled and submaximal forces, it is easier
to correct and there is less risk of injury or technical error. When the
technique is correct, increase the intensity and/or lower the inertia
for higher speed and more power.
