ASSEMBLY OF THE TNT (STEP 9)

Located between the TNT rails are eight elasticords. They are at the head-end of the machine attached to the gray, orange,
and tan lanyards.
Warning!!If you grasp the lanyard too close to the!plastic white knob you risk pinching your fingers.!!
Always detach the elasticords when the machine is not in use. This prevents premature stretching of the elasticords
and greatly extends their life.
Attaching Elasticords: To engage the head-end elasticords grasp the middle of the lanyard (one at a time) and pull back
towards the head-end stand preferably using your core. Slip the exposed plastic white knob at the end of the elasticord
into at the corresponding slot at the!head-end of the carriage to engage the elasticord.
Detaching Elasticords: To disengage resistance, grasp the middle of the lanyard (one at a time) and pull back towards the
head-end stand and drop it down below the carriage.
Adjusting the Kickplate: The kickplate adjusts to three vertical positions. To adjust the height, begin by removing the four
knurled knobs from the back of the kickplate. Move the kickplate board to the desired vertical position. Line up the bolts on
the back of the kickplate board with the appropriate holes in the kickplate structure and secure by tightening the four
knurled knobs down.
The vertical position of the kickplate can be positioned as follows: High- This is the best position for 90° flexion of taller
individuals and unsupported heel activities. Middle- Majority of users will enjoy this position to achieve 90° flexion. Low-
This position is best for direct body alignment activities.
Adjusting the Headrest: The headrest is easily adjusted depending on patient size and desired exercise type. This can be
done by pulling the headrest up and away from the backrest and repositioning with the velcro strips.
The footrest is located at the end of the carriage. It provides a surface to rest an uninvolved foot.
Adjusting the ROM (Range of Motion) Control: At the head-end of the carriage is a ROM control handle (red rope). The
handle may be adjusted toward or away from the machine and secured in the rope cleat at the head-end stand. Moving the
ROM control allows the positioning of the carriage in relation to the kickplate. This will adjust the knee flexion.
Warning! Never attempt to move the ROM
control rope while the elasticords are attached
or the machine is in use.
Adjusting the Handlebars: The handlebars are
easily adjusted by twisting the knobs counter-
clock-wise and moving to desired position.
Secure by twisting clockwise.
Adjusting the Backrest: The backrest adjusts to
supine and 45°. To adjust the backrest from
supine to 45°, pull up on the backrest and grasp
the red handle located on the adjustable plate.
Secure it by inserting the plate firmly between
the two bumpers on the backrest.
Warning! Never attempt to adjust the backrest
when the machine is in use or when a patient is
supporting their weight on it.

USING THE PRODUCT

The PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) pulley system is designed to allow upper body exercises while laying,
sitting, or kneeling on the TNT carriage. It can also be used while standing or sitting next to the TNT.
The system is designed to be adjusted in the following ways:
1. To adjust the height of the upper pulleys, release the clip and move to any of the six slots found on the towers.
2. To adjust the position of the handle, adjust the length of the rope. Do this by securing the rope in the rope cleat located
on either side of the carriage. Make sure to snug the rope down into the rope cleat before use.
3. The position on the handle can also be adjusted by sliding the black plastic rope lock (found on the rope adjacent to
the handle) away from or closer to the handle.
Warning! Never attempt to adjust the PNF pulley system when the machine is in use.
