INSTALLING THE ELASTICORDS
STEP 5
ITEMS REQUIRED
Elasticord Box
Parts Bag #5
7/16” Socket Wrench
1. Remove the elasticords 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 lanyards through the far right side 3/4” hole, inserting the
dumbbell shaped lanyard mounting rod from Part Bag #5 through the red lanyard loop. (Pic 5.2)
3. Repeat this process with the black lanyards. There will be eight lanyards on each lanyard mounting rod. (Pic 5.3)
4. Untangle the elasticords, correcting any tests 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 and screw on a 1/4-20 lock nut onto the rod. Use a 7/16” socket wrench to tighten the lock nuts. Wen
tightening 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 the wrench. (Pic 5.4)
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 5.5)
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.
