INSTALLING THE ELASTICORDS
ITEMS"
REQUIRED"
ELASTICORDS

PARTS BAG #5"
7/16” SOCKET
WRENCH"
1. Remove the Elaticords from the box and place them on the floor between the MVP Rails,
on top of the Connector Plate. (Pic 5.1)"
2. Facing the Head-End Stand, insert the loop end of the red lanyard through the far right 3/4”
hole, inserting the dumbbell shaped Lanyard Mounting Rod from Parts Bag #5 through the
red lanyard loop. (Pic 5.2)"
3. Repeat this process with the black lanyards. There will be 4 lanyards on each Lanyard
Mounting Rod. (Pic 5.3)"
4. Untangle the Elasticords, correcting any twists in the webbing, and lay them flat over the
Connector Plate. Insert the threaded rod end of each Elasticord into the aligned holes
located directly below the slots of the Kickplate Structure."
5. Take two Steel/Rubber Bonded Washers and arrange them so the steel sides are back to
back. Slip them onto the threaded rod end and screw on a 1/4-20 lock nut onto the rod.
Use a 7/16” socket wrench to tighten the lock nuts. When tightening the the lock nuts, the
rod should just protrude the opening of the lock nuts. In order to tighten the lock nuts, the
Elasticord is going to have to be held in place while using a wrench. (Pic 5.5)"
6. Apply the plastic nut caps over the lock nuts. If the caps do not seat properly, an
adjustment of the lock nut on the rod may be necessary. (Pic 5.6)
TIPS"
-Use the Head-End Elasticords (lanyards, first.
When more resistance is required, engage the
cords with the plastic T-Handles at the Foot-End."
-Disengage the Elasticords after each use to
promote longer life."
-Use the provided Silicone Gel to lubricate the
cords. Apply every 6 months, especially in overly
sunny, dry and air-conditioned environments.

REQUIRED"
PARTS BAG #6"
CARRIAGE"
30” LONG
HANDLEBARS
1. Turn the Carriage upside down. Cut the zip-ties to remove the 3, 30” Long Handlebars. Lift
up on the Retainer Plate and slide the 3 Handlebars through a side hole of the Carriage,
under the Plate, and out through the corresponding hole on the other side. (Pic 6.1) "
2. Apply the foam Handle Grips from Parts Bag #6. To assist with easing them onto the
Handlebars, lubricate the inside fo the foam Hand Grips with a little hairspray,"
3. Adjust the Handlebars so they appear even on each side of the Carriage. Tighten the three
lock nuts one the Retainer Plate. (Pic 6.3)

INSERTING THE CARRIAGE
ITEMS
REQUIRED"
PARTS BAG #7"
CARRIAGE "
1. While the Carriage is still overturned, grasp both sides of the Range of Motion (ROM)
Control Rope to the center, pull them tight, letting the ROM Control Bar, Donut and
Eyebolts extend over the plate between the wheels to rest on the floor. (Pic 7.1)"
2. Keeping the ROM Control Ropes to the inside of the wheels, turn the Carriage over. Insert
the Foot-End of the Carriage into the MVP Rails, and let it gently slide along the track until it
contacts the Rebound Blocks. This step is easier with 2 people. (Pic 7.2)
3. Verify the ROM Control Ropes are not crossed. With the Eyebolts on the inside insert the
two forward Eyebolts (closest to the Carriage) outward through the holes of the MVP Rails,
just behind the Carriage. Thread a T-Knob onto each bolt. Make sure the eyebolts are
vertical so the ROM Control Ropes can move freely through the holes. (Pic 7.3)"
4. Insert the remaining Eyebolts, following the same method through the MVP Rails just above
the Head-End Stand. (Pic 7.4)"
5. To apply the Noise Dampener, run an end of the Dampener over one side of the Rope,
under the Elasticord Lanyard, up over the other side of the Rope, then join the ends of the
Dampener together under the Elasticords. (Pic 7.5)"
6. From Parts Bag #7, insert the two Knee Bumpers into the bottom slot of the MVP Rails near
the Head-End Stand so they rest against the rubber cone. (Pic 7.6)
