Pulling the XPO Sled:
Prior to installing the optional pulling
attachment, load the weight plate post with at
least one 45 pound plate, then install the
pulling attachment as per the instructions in
this manual. Now load the pulling attachment
weight plate post with at least one 45 pound
plate. (Do not exceed the XPO Sled 180 pound
total weight limit)
Connect any harness or rope of your choice to
the pulling attachment loading ring.
In general, the longer the rope or harness
strap, the better. If the pulling attachment lifts
up and down when being pulled, add additional
weight plates to the pulling attachment weight
plate post and/or use a longer rope or harness
strap. This is even more important if pulling
the XPO Sled from a high position, such as over
the shoulder.
The XPO Sled may be pulled by walking or
running, forward or backward.
The XPO Sled will track behind the athlete and
follow very small changes in direction. If the
XPO Sled is consistently pulling the athlete to
one side or the other, see the section in this
manual on ALIGNING THE FRONT WHEEL AND
ADJUSTING CHAIN TENSION.
Re-Positioning the XPO Sled:
The XPO Sled will easily roll backward with little
resistance. It may also be pushed even more
easily by placing a foot on the black kick tape
located at the center of the rear axle assembly,
pulling back on the handles, and lifting the
front wheel off the ground. Once the front
wheel is off the ground, the XPO Sled handles
similarly to a two-wheel furniture dolly and can
be pushed or pulled freely.
