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 flying 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
operator’s body type.
Adjusting your threads
• If you have big pectorals and a flat
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 first
to your setting, then turn in the
bottom screw until it just snugs up
against the fitting. 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 Flyer-LE will float
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
fly or fall away from you.
• On the vest, loosen the four screws holding the socket block in place.
Flip the block 180° and re-attach (above).
• On the arm, unscrew the rollers until the socket separates completely
from the arm. Turn it over and re-attach (right).
• Set the top screw about two turns out, and the bottom screw all the way in.
