Goofy foot
If you want to operate “goofy-foot,” – with the sled on the right side – you will
need to reverse the socket block before starting.
Determining your threads is part of basic operating technique
For almost all operators, regardless of
body type, the typical adjustment for the
“side to side” screws (the rod ends in
the arm) is 1.5 to 2 turns out on the top
screw and ALWAYS all the way in on the
bottom screw.
Use the rollers when the arm is not
under load. If you are ying the sled,
lift it up with your left hand to take the
weight off the screws before adjusting
them. The two side to side screws work
independently of one another. Do not
tighten the lower screw, but be sure it is
all the way in, and then back it out 1/8th
of a turn.
The “in-out” screws work in tandem,
and the adjustment varies greatly by the
operators body type.
Adjusting your threads
• If you have big pectorals and a
at stomach, the top screw is
almost all the way in. If you’ve
been eating well and exercising
less, the top screw will be
further out.
Always dial in the top screw rst
to your setting, then turn in the
bottom screw until it just snugs
up against the tting. There is
no need to tighten the bottom
screw very hard.
Always keep a hand on the
free end of the arm, otherwise
it might swing around and hit
something, someone, or you in
the face.
• With both pairs of screws
properly adjusted, the sled
will oat in all positions with
the operator standing in good
posture with a vertical torso. If
the threads are not adjusted
well, the sled will tend to y or
fall away from you.
• On the vest, remove the breast plate: Loosening the lock; pull the locator
pin; and slide the plate completely off. Then remove the socket block in
the same manner. Flip the block 180° and re-attach (above).
• On the arm, pull the aircraft pin to separate the socket from the arm. Turn
it over and re-attach.
• Set the top screw about two turns out, and the bottom screw all the way in.
