Work out at a submaximal** intensity until you are familiar with the equipment. Do not let the moving arm hit the LegExx, absorb the eccentric load before it hits the foam bumper. Make sure the snap shackle for the Overload Handle is properly closed and connected if you are to use it for overload training.

There are five different sized flywheels, with inertia 0.005, 0.010, 0.025, 0.050, and 0.070 kgm They all fit the LegExx, and up to four flywheels of varying sizes can be mounted at any one time. This will give a range of inertia between 0.005 and 0.280 kgm2 for the machine.
Note that the potentially higher exertion on the LegExx may lead to a need for longer resting periods between sessions to fully recover. Eccentric loading The LegExx provides for increased eccentric workloads.

At just 95 kg (209 lbs), with wheels in the front and handles in the back, it is easy to move the LegExx around on floor surfaces. When moving the LegExx, always put the backrest in its frontmost position.

LegExx manual v 0.1 Assisted overload training is achieved by pulling the Overload Handle handle simultaneously with accelerating the flywheel. Absorb all energy put in the flywheel by using only your legs. Either the user themselves pulls the Overload Handle, or an assisting trainer or spotter does.

LegExx manual v 0.1 TOOL KIT OVERVIEW Tool bag Contains everything listed below. 5 mm hex key Used for the backrest screws. 4 mm hex key Used for shaft cover screws and the screw for the black disc on the cylindrical housing.
Drive belt cautions The Drive Belt and its attachment to the shaft is the most sensitive part of the LegExx. Be attentive to wear and check regularly. When the Belt shows signs of wear and tear, trim the end by cutting off the damaged area or replace it with an original spare Drive Belt.

If the shaft cover was removed, put it back in place. Maintenance of The LegExx center parts (shaft, bearings and flanges) screws are subjected to heavy and repeated forces. We recommend that you inspect the screws and tighten them quarterly! exxentric.com/support...
The kMeter Module allows you to connect your smartphone or tablet with your LegExx and get live training feedback. The LegExx has the new generation of kMeter module (kMeter II) built-in. The kMeter II is powered by two AA batteries. SmartCoach The wired kMeter Module works with the SmartCoach system.
