box are shown in picture 2.
There is no assembly required on any of the RehabPro Speed Pulley versions.
3. Installation of Speed Pulley (Wall Mounts)
Wall mounting pulleys require the following knowledge:
1. Make sure your mounting wall reaches the ceiling. A wall ending at the false ceiling does not offer
enough support to secure a pulley.
2. Identify the type of studs you have in your wall. Do you have wood studs or metal studs? Or, is your wall
made of concrete. Different types of studs require different hardware in order to attach your pulley
equipment safely.
RehabPro wall pulley attachment brackets:
RehabPro speed pulleys have two (2) attachment brackets; the center hole of the lower attachment bracket
is 3.5” above the floor; the center hole of the upper attachment bracket is 80.5” above the floor. Each
attachment bracket is 18” wide with two (2) holes for mounting hardware, 16.25” apart center to center.
Below, you will find three attachment suggestions based on the type of wall you plan on attaching
your pulley to:
1. Drywall attached to wood studs. Attach two 1x4 boards horizontally in space, long enough to span two
studs (4 studs for parallel pulleys), 2.5” lag bolts that go through the board, drywall and into the studs (see
picture below). The center of the lower board must be 3.5” off the floor. The center of the upper board must
be 80.5” off the floor. The pulley(s) can be anchored wherever along these boards using 1.5” lag bolts with
a 5/16” flat washer.
2. Drywall attached to aluminum studs. Attach two 1x4 boards horizontally in space, long enough to
span two studs (4 studs for parallel pulleys). Use 2.5” anchor bolts (see picture below) to sandwich the
boards against the wall. Like attachment option # 1 the center of the lower board has to be 3.5” above the
floor. The center of the upper board has to be 80.5” above the floor. The pulley(s) can be attached to these
boards by 1.5” lag bolts with a 5/16” flat washer.
Drill your holes large enough for the anchors to pass
through.
C. Pulleys attached directly to a concrete wall. Attach the pulley directly onto the concrete wall by
placing correct hardware (concrete anchor bolts) at the two point of attachment for each attachment bracket
3.5” & 80.5” above the floor.
4. Utilization
1. Adjusting the weight
All RehabPro Speed Pulleys are “magnetic, pin select” and all weight stacks are measured in pounds. The
Speed Pulleys are 6:1 weight-to resistance ratio pulleys so the resistance per weight plate (using one
handle) is as follows:

Please note: The resistance doubles if you attach both ropes to the same handle.
2. Adjusting the Angle of the Rope (based on the length – tension concept)
The upper rope adjustment bracket changes the angle of pull, allowing each exercise to be performed
correctly from an anatomical and physiological point of view. The rule of thumb is as follows:
A – Check available range of motion.
B – Chose which exercise to be performed.
C – Pulley rope should be at 90 degrees with the lever arm at mid-range (mid-range may change as motion
around the joint(s) improve).
Picture shows the upper rope adjustment bracket
correctly attached to the rope adjustment bar. “Pull
out” on the red spring-loaded adjustment pin in order
to move the rope adjustment bracket up or down the
bar.
Make sure the spring-loaded pin pops back into
place (all the way) before attempting to exercise
using the pulley.
3. Adjusting the Length of the Rope
The lower rope adjustment bracket changes the range of motion of the exercise that is being performed.
The rule of thumb is as follows:
A – You may want to reduce range if the “initial” end range becomes painful during an exercise. Move the
rope adjustment bracket “up” towards the upper adjustment bracket to allow more “slack”.
B – In the initial stages of rehab you may want to give the muscle group(s) a break between each repetition.
Adjust the rope adjustment bracket up allowing the weights to hit the stack at the completion of each
repetition before starting a new rep.
Picture shows the lower rope adjustment bracket correctly attached to
the rope adjustment bar. “Pull out” on the red spring-loaded
adjustment pin in order to move the rope adjustment bracket up or
down the bar. Pull and rotate the spring-loaded pin head to allow the
lower rope adjustment bracket to move together with the upper rope
adjustment bracket.
Make sure you counter-rotate the spring-loaded pin head so it pops
back into place (all the way) before attempting to exercise using the
pulley.
5. Maintenance
Check the condition of the pulley daily prior to use:
1. Pay attention to any “loose” nuts or bolts. Re-tighten nuts and bolts after the pulley has “settled”,
normally within a week or two after the pulley has been put into use. Check the pulley on a monthly basis
after initial check.
2. Pay attention to the rope. On the average, the pulley rope lasts for 12 months with normal pulley use.
Make sure the rope glides smoothly on the pulley wheels. AND, look for “fraying”. Change the rope when
the outer layer has become “fuzzy”. You can contact RehabPro, Inc. directly or your local dealer for a rope
replacement kit.
3. Wipe off the guide rods with a clean rag weekly. After the wipe down spray silicone lubricant on the
rag and wipe down the rods with the lubricant. You may want to do this with the rope adjustment bar also
for smoother glide of the rope adjustment assemblies.
4. Finger prints and other stains can easily be removed by silicone spray to all plated parts (guide rods,
weight stack and rope adjustment bar). If persistent, use Scots Guard (fine thread) to remove stain before
lubricating bars / stack with silicone spray.

How to thread / replace the pulley rope
Picture 1
Picture 2
Picture 3
Thread the rope in the following manner:
1. Bring the rope through the upper flopper, front to back. Bring the rope up and over the stationary wheel
on the rope adjustment bar (as shown in picture 1).
2. Bring the rope down to the top weight and pull it through the right-most wheel front to back, as shown in
picture 2.
3. Then bring the rope up to the top and pull it through the right most wheel, back to front. Repeat this
procedure by bringing the rope down to the top weight pulling the rope through the center wheel, front to
back. Back up to the top, back to front on the center wheel. And then do the same procedure for the leftmost wheel.
Picture 4
Picture 5
4. Coming off the left-most wheel, bring the rope all the way down to the lower glider and bring the rope
around (back to front) before bringing the rope up to the lower flopper on the upper glider. Bring the rope
through the flopper (back to front) as shown in picture 5.
2. Tying off the Rope at the hook:
1. Pull the rope through the eyelet making a “U” & loop it around itself as shown in picture A.
2. Loop the rope around itself, front to back 2 - 3 times & pull the rope through “the oval” created by the
rope (back to front) as shown in picture 2)
3. Tighten the rope on itself by pulling the knot down to the eyelet as shown in picture 3.
Picture 1
Picture 2
Picture 3
4. Apply the heat shrink by pulling it over the knot and shrink it by using a heat gun or a hair blower as
shown in pictures 4 & 5.

Picture 5
3. Problem solving:
1. Weight pin does not enter the weight stack normally.
- Pin may become bent during shipping. It is made of soft steel that can be positioned differently by
bending it back to fit into the hole.
2. Pulley wheel is grinding up against the side of the bracket
- The pulley wheel grinds up against the side of its bracket if the bearing has come loose. Please contact
RehabPro, Inc. directly to get a new wheel.
3. The outer layer of my rope has become fuzzy. What should I do?
- The rope should be changed when the outer layers of the rope starts to fray. Please contact RehabPro, Inc.
directly for a new, non-stretchable rope.
4. Example of use
Speed Pulleys help restore the functional qualities of circulation, flexibility, coordination, endurance
and strength. The suggested exercise dosages below come from the principles taught in Medical
Exercise Therapy (MET) and Scientific Therapeutic Exercise Progressions (STEP) and can be
applied to any exercise.
Circulation: Less than 50% of 1 RM, 50x to infinite repetitions of internal /
external rotation with the forearm resting in a shoulder rotation device.
The shoulder rotation device prevents premature “closure” of the suprahumeral space due to fatigue or pain.
Flexibility: Less than 50% of 1 RM, 50x to infinite repetitions of internal /
external rotation making sure each repetition starts in maximal external
rotation of the glenohumeral joint.
Flexibility: Less than 50% of 1 RM, 50x to infinite repetitions of knee
flexion. The pulley straps are assisting femoral glide in the correct direction
in order to increase joint range.
Coordination: Less than 50% of 1 RM, 50x to infinite repetitions of
shoulder extension helping to center the humeral head in the glenohumeral
joint.
Coordination: Less than 50% of 1 RM, general gait coordination with a
normal eccentric return.
Endurance: Less than 60% of 1 RM, 30x repetitions of bilateral shoulder
retraction.
