A gentle soap sponge or rag can be used if necessary. Do not submerge your MAXPRO in water CORRECT 3 MAXPRO mounted OUTSIDE of an IN-SWING DOOR NOT CORRECT MAXPRO mounted INSIDE of an IN-SWING DOOR Keep sharp objects away from MAXPRO’s cord Clean MAXPRO with a damp cloth ONLY 4 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE USING YOUR MAXPRO MAXPRO is a highly engineered workout machine that will give you many years of health and fitness benefits. However, it is a new and different workout experience, so here are some things you need to know. 1 - MAXPRO is designed with a multi-plate clutch resistance mechanism with special friction discs in between the stainless steel plates (see image 1). THIS FRICTION MATERIAL REQUIRES A BREAK-IN PERIOD FOR EVERY NEW MAXPRO. If you feel a slight or intermittent “catching” or “stutter” in the cord while in motion (usually at higher resistance levels), please note that this is completely NORMAL and it should decrease after frequent use. INCREASING THE SPEED OF YOUR PULL MOTION WILL OVERCOME THIS SENSATION. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE USING YOUR MAXPRO 3 - TO AVOID THE MAXPRO FROM LIFTING UNDER YOUR FOOT DURING HIGHER RESISTANCE EXERCISES, be sure to have the proper footing with BACK HALF OF FOOT FULLY SPREAD WIDE AND FIRMLY on the MAXPRO platform, while the front foot is firmly on the ground. You will drive the counter-resistance forces downward primarily THROUGH THE HEELS OF THE FOOT. This will keep the MAXPRO grounded. DO NOT BOUNCE OR LIFT FOOT DURING EXERCISE FOR RISK OF BREAKING THE HINGE. Drive force through heels directly onto MAXPRO. Clutch Plates IMAGE 1 Friction Discs 2 - MAXPRO’s adjustment dial MAY have slight variances of resistance between left and right dials when set at the same resistance levels (potential differences of 1 lbs to 2 lbs (.5kg to 1kg). If you notice such a difference and you feel one side is heavier/lighter, you can ADJUST THE DIAL SLIGHTLY ON ONE SIDE TO MATCH THE RESISTANCE FEEL ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. 5 *IMPORTANT* Widen Feet to Maximum Width Scan for video demonstration 4 - If you are accustomed to weight training, please note that the MAXPRO resistance training is different in feel, but not in effectiveness. To get some of the same muscle building benefits of weights, you should increase your resistance and increase the speed of your “down” movements versus what you would normally do with traditional weights. This will increase “time under tension” and give you maximum muscle building results. We hope you love your new MAXPRO workout experience.

Confirm that the strap is not twisted and is flat to door all the way around. STEP 2: Optional: If you choose to install the door edge protectors, thread strap through protector with the long shaped protector at the edge of the door to be placed under the ratchet as shown. STEP 3: Pull the loose strap end from underneath the ratchet and through the middle of the 2-piece cylinder (see magnified view).

Cord Locks may be used for resistance or suspension training. CORD LOCK RELEASE BUTTON For Resistance Exercises To make it easier to reach the handles prior to starting an exercise, you can use the cord locks to pre-position handles out at a certain length depending on the exercise to be performed. WARNING: SUSPENSION EXERCISES ARE USUALLY MORE DIFFICULT TO PERFORM AND SHOULD BE RESERVED FOR MORE EXPERIENCED USERS. To use cord locks, pull handle to desired length. Then, simply press down on top button and slide the cord lock to the desired stop position (image 1). DO NOT HANG ON MAXPRO WITH FULL BODY WEIGHT. BODY SHOULD ALWAYS BE PARTIALLY SUPPORTED WITH EITHER HANDS OR FEET PLANTED ON THE GROUND TO BALANCE WEIGHT LOAD. USER BODY WEIGHT LIMIT IS 250LBS (114KG). When using cord locks on cords, try to make sure that both handles are at equal lengths. If one handle is longer, you can push the cord lock button slightly to retract the longer cord to make it even. CONFIRM THAT THE DOOR OR WALL STRUCTURE CAN WITHSTAND FULL SUSPENSION WEIGHT PRIOR TO DOING ANY SUSPENSION TRAINING. SLIDE UP PULL DOWN 15 IMAGE 1 PLEASE USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN FIRST PERFORMING SUSPENSION EXERCISES. FOR ANY SUSPENSION EXERCISE, START SLOWLY AND WITH LITTLE BODY WEIGHT AT FIRST. YOU CAN INCREASE INTENSITY AS YOU GET USED TO THE MOTION AND PROPERLY ADJUST THE BODY ANGLE AND BODY WEIGHT BEING USED FOR EACH EXERCISE. SHOULD YOU NOTICE ANY WEAKNESS IN THE MAXPRO MOUNTING STRUCTURE OR ANY CORD WEAR, PLEASE DISCONTINUE MAXPRO USE IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT THE CUSTOMER CARE TEAM AT CUSTOMERSERVICE@MAXPROFITNESS.COM. 16 Cord Lock For Suspension Training Cord Lock For Suspension Training Steps to perform Suspension Mode STEP 1: Position your MAXPRO at the upper most door or wall track position and connect maxpro suspension handles if available. (Regular handles may also be used.) STEP 2: Depending on the suspension exercise to be performed, pull out handle to desired length, and slide cord lock up to desired stop position. STEP 3: IMPORTANT: After positioning handles to desired length, and before performing any suspension exercises, YOU MUST TURN THE HANDLES TO THE RED LOCK POSITION TO ENSURE THE CORD DOES NOT MOVE DURING EXERCISE (Image 3). FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SEVERE BODILY INJURY OR HARM. RED LOCK POSITION As a general rule, lock the handles out about half-way down to the ground for upper body suspension exercises, and about 10” from the ground for leg suspension exercises (image 2). When using the cord locks on both handles, assure they are even. Release button of longer cord if needed to match length of opposite cord. FOR UPPER BODY SUSPENSION FOR LOWER BODY SUSPENSION MAXPRO PLACED IN UPPER MOST POSITION IN TRACK OR ON DOOR IMAGE 3 X NOTE: For any suspension exercise, start slowly and with little body weight at first, until you get used to the motion of the exercise. You can change the difficulty level by adjusting your body angle to change the amount of body weight being used for each exercise.
