 Instructions For Use

Step 3 – Install the impact head 
component and tighten knob to lock it 
onto the top end of the axle. 

Slide the impact head component (A) down 
onto the top end of the axle. Put an adjustment 
knob into it and tighten the knob securing the 
top component onto the axle.

Step 4 – Install the hook-bar and tighten 
the knob to secure it.  

The hook-bar (C) has four hooks on it. It serves 
as the machines bottom connection for the 
powerbands. Slide the hook-bar onto the 
round receiver extending from the back of 
your support column. The hooks should be on 
top. Tighten the knob to secure it. Line up the 
impact head component over the hook-bar, so 
the top hook is directly over the bottom four 
hooks of the hook-bar.

Step 5 – Install Powerbands – Adjust 
length if necessary.

The powerbands (I) are the black bungee cords 
with black plastic balls. The plastic balls connect 
to the machine using the hooks on the impact 
head component and hook-bar. Connect the 
bottom of the powerband to the bottom of the 
Hurricane on the hook bar. Then connect the 
top ball to the top on the hook located on the 
impact head component. If using the Hurricane 
for the first time start with one powerband on 
the machine.

Step-By-Step Assembly Instructions (continued)

To increase tension, knots can be tied on the powerbands to adjust the height. Slide the 
bottom plastic ball on the cord and tie another knot. Now slide the ball over the knot.
