INTRODUCTION
2.1 Overview
This section contains a general overview of the
VECTOR resistance technology and information
about how to Service and Support.
Thank you for purchasing the VECTOR by
TheraBand.
The VECTOR is intended for use both indoors
and outdoors in physical therapy, sports
performance and fitness environments.
Heed all warnings and cautions when operating
or maintaining the VECTOR. Contact a qualified
service technician for any procedure that you
cannot perform correctly, completely, and safely.
Follow all instructions carefully.
The VECTOR is intended for use in sports
training, health clubs, gyms, active aging, and
physical therapy facilities. It has been tested and
complies with U.S. and International safety and
durability requirements for use in both home and
commercial environments. This manual will help
you discover and use the equipment’s features.
The patented VECTOR offers a number of significant benefits including:
• Before each use remove cover and review all warnings on internal shaft.
• The ability to change the Weight Equivalent Pull (WEP) level by simply
turning the cap at the top of the VECTOR to select one of three user
configurable resistance levels.
• Fast connect / disconnect from anchor points via a carabiner.
• Improved user safety through use of TVTs. Kevlar® cords inside each elastic
tube limit how far the tube can be stretched during use and reduce a risk
of a band from “snapping back” at the user in the event of an tube failure.
• Outer removable cover that protects the TVTs from UV exposure, dirt,
debris, and contaminants.
• Ability to easily customize the WEP of the VECTOR by changing out TVTs
which are available in different resistance levels. The following chart shows
approximate maximum WEP for various configurations and maximum
allowable stretch. Note that the WEPs are approximate only – the WEP
may vary due to manufacturing tolerances, age of the TVTs, number of
pull cycles on the TVTs, and what percentage of maximum pull length
the cycles were accumulated at (to name some of the variables that will
affect the WEP). Also note that the WEPs shown are just prior to the TVTs
being stretched to the length of the internal Kevlar – once the TVTs are
stretched to the length of the internal Kevlar cord, the load will increase
instantaneously if the user attempts to continue stretching the TVTs.
OWNER'S MANUAL |7

The following charts show the approximate WEP
for standard and Group exercise VECTORs.
The vertical axis of the chart is for the various
ways the VECTOR can be configured with the first
letter being the TVTs in disc 1 (L=Light, H=Heavy),
second letter is the TVTs in disc 2 and third letter is
the TVTs in disc 3.

5.2 Replacing single or
multiple TVTs
WARNING
• Inspect TVTs weekly. Replace any
TVTs that appear worn or abraded
prior to use.
• Replace all TVTs every six months

the VECTOR. DO NOT remove more
than one TVT at a time. Removal
of multiple TVTs may cause disc
assembly to become unseated
making reassembly much more
difficult.
