Product Usage Instructions

- Determine where you will install your Nordic Hamstring. If installing in front of Functional Trainer with weight stack, center left to right with base and mount as close as possible without blocking the weight adjustment pins.
- Once you have determined where on the floor the unit will be installed, place the Upright (Part A) into its final position and using the holes in its base as a guide, mark the floor through each of its 4 corner holes. (Refer to Diagram 1 on page 2 of the instruction booklet.) Note: The numbered side of the Upright will be facing toward the user.
- Securely anchor the base of the Upright (Part A) to the floor using the four Concrete Anchors (Part E) and torque each to 40 ft-lb. (Refer to Diagram 3 on page 2 of the instruction booklet.)
- Attach the Foot Plate/Pad Combo (Part B) to the upright using the provided screws and nuts. Adjust the height of the footplate using the Height Adjustment Knob (Part C).
- If you need resistance to assist in your exercise, use the Assistance Strap (Part D). Attach the metal rings on each side of the strap to the carabiner clip on a cable machine. The assistance strap can also be used for single-leg squats.

1479-01 Floor Mounted Nordic Hamstring – Assembly
The following instructions are intended for mounting to concrete floors only.
- Step 1: Locate and identify all parts as shown on page 2 of this booklet.
- Step 2: Determine where you will install your Nordic Hamstring.
If installing in front of Keiser® Functional Trainer: Mount back edge of
base plate against base of Keiser® and center left to right.
If installing in front of Functional Trainer with weight stack: Center
left to right with base and mount as close as possible without blocking the
weight adjustment pins.
- Step 3: Once it is determined where on the floor the unit will be installed, place the Upright (Part A) into its final position and using the holes in its base as a guide, mark the floor through each of its 4 corner holes. (Diagram 1) Note: The numbered side of the Upright will be facing toward the user.
- Step 4: Using the holes in the base of the Upright (Part A) as a template, drill four 3¾” deep holes (measured from top of Base Plate) with a ˆ⁄ˇ” Concrete drill bit. (Diagram 2) Note: This 3¾” hole depth allows for a ¼” void below the anchor bolt as this is necessary to achieve proper anchoring. (Diagram 3). Be sure to vacuum or blow out any residual concrete debris left at the bottom of each hole after drilling and then check to be sure that the proper depth has been achieved.
- Step 5: Securely anchor the base of the Upright (Part A) to the floor using the four Concrete Anchors (Part E) and torque each to 40 ft-lb. (Diagram 3)
Proceed to next page to finish assembly.
- Step 6: Once the Upright (Part A) is fully secured to the floor, slide the sleeve of the Foot Plate/Pad Combo (Part B) over the Upright and down to the floor as shown in Diagram 4.
- Step 7: Screw the Height Adjustment Knob (Part C) fully into the Foot Plate/Pad Combo (Part B) as shown in Diagram 5. Note: Do not overtighten the knob as doing so will make it hard to adjust the height. Match height to user by pulling the spring loaded knob and moving the Foot Plate/Pad Combo to the desired position. Make sure that the pin is fully clicked into the appropriate hole before each use.
Assistance strap (D) is provided if you need resistance to assist in your exercise. You’ll notice 3 metal rings on each side of the strap. Attach metal rings to carabiner clip on cable machine.
Great for single leg squats too!
