If training without both feet on the kBox4 is anticipated, the platform must be attached to the floor or weighted down so it cannot move. Gradually from May 2019, the Flywheel Knob is fixed to a holder under the kBox4 when shipped. exxentric.com/support...

They all fit the kBox4 Pro and all but the 0.070 kgm fit the kBox4 Lite and Active. You can mount up to four flywheels on the kBox4 Lite and Pro, and two flywheels on the kBox4 Active. Do not try to mount more than the maximum capacity of flywheels.

Use the side with the lower angle for lateral movement and the other side if you just want to maintain foot placement during vertical work. exxentric.com/support...

Just thread the drive belt through the top of the angle adjuster and snap it on. The location for the placement is indicated with a sticker. The link below will lead you to a video showing the angle adjuster in use. The angle adjuster is included with every kBox4. https://bit.ly/2YzZQVc exxentric.com/support...
This will be similar to lifting weights that would normally be too heavy to lift, unless assisted by a training partner, but executing the eccentric (lengthening) phase by yourself. Check the training guide for more information on eccentric overload. exxentric.com/support...

The kBox4 is quieter when training. The area does not have to be equipped with sound reducing materials. There is a much lower risk of collision, meaning more people can work out in a smaller room without the risk of interfering with each other and causing injuries. exxentric.com/support...
Be sure the harness fits well and is not too loose (various sizes are available). It should not slip down over the shoulders. The upper chest strap can be loose but the bottom strap has to be more tight for best use. exxentric.com/support...

Decelerate the flywheel on the way down and stop at the bottom. Slowly return to your start position and let the flywheel stop completely. Detach the harness, step off the platform and prepare yourself for the next set. Make sure you get an adequate amount of rest between sets. exxentric.com/support...

Perform your training set, usually 6-12 repetitions. Decelerate and stop the flywheel on the way down. Don’t put down the handle or grip before the flywheel(s) has come to a complete stop. Rest accordingly. exxentric.com/support...

For max strength, slow and controlled movements with high force and low speed are warranted and hence require more inertia. The flywheel workout zones can be helpful, if you want to read more about this, please go to: https://bit.ly/2NENUNE exxentric.com/support...
Since this will be slow, controlled, and submaximal forces, it is easier to correct and less risk for injury or technical error. When the technique is correct, increase the intensity and/or lower the inertia for higher speed and more power. exxentric.com/support...
For recommendations on how to prolong the lifespan of your drive belt, please refer to our videos on best practices, found here: www.exxentric.com/support/manuals/ Trimming a worn belt If damage occurs close to the shaft it is possible to cut off the damaged end and reattach the new end.

Pro and kBox4 Lite devices built since May 2018 have the next generation of kMeter module (kMeter II) built-in. kBox4 Active is prepared for kMeter II but it is optional. It can be ordered and assembled from a factory or bought at a later time and installed by the user.
