Additional Tips:

• Always protect the straps with a towel or something soft when placing the straps over an abrasive surface, such as wood.
• Keep your training area clear of anything or anyone that could distract or get in the way of a person performing exercises on the rings.
• Do not perform any dismounts or swinging moves on the EXF Rings. They are not intended for competitive gymnastics. These movements require proper instruction and landing mats.
• Handstand training is great on the rings, but extremely challenging. Be sure to have padding beneath you and a spotter ready to assist you.
• When mounting the rings, always test each ring with your full bodyweight to make sure it is securely mounted.

First Time Setup

When you first unbox your rings, there's just a few steps you need to take before you start training. This is a one-time deal, so don't worry. It just takes a minute and for the rest of eternity, you will be saving a minute or two (compared to ordinary rings) every time you set up your rings!

1. Attach S-Buckle to the loop at the end of the strap. Slide loop to center bar of S-Buckle.

2. Feed webbing through slots with printed side down.

3. Pass webbing through ring. Make sure the strap is not twisted.

4. Depress lever in cam buckle and feed webbing through the window in the back of the buckle. Incorrectly feeding the webbing can break the buckle and this damage is NOT covered by warranty.
Observe the “FEED WEBBING” arrow on theside of the buckle.
The rings are now ready to be mounted.

EXF Mode

EXF Mode is the normal setup mode most people will use for the EXF Rings. It allows you to set them up very quickly and double the length of the webbing for a full 17 foot range. However, to take them down, you must be able to reach them, so you might need a ladder. If this is a problem, use Legacy Mode.

1. Place S-Buckle over mounting surface.

2. Place webbing inside S-Buckle and pull tight. Ensure there are no twists.

Legacy Mode

This is the same as what you will find on all previous generation rings. It is slower and you only have half the length of the webbing to work with (8.5 foot range), but you can set up the rings on an overhead surface that is out of reach, without needing a ladder.

1. Slide the S-Buckle towards the cam buckle by pulling the webbing through the slots. You can remove the S-Buckle now or attach it to the adjacent webbing.
2. Depress the lever on the cam buckle and pull the excess webbing through, fully removing the strap from the cam buckle.
3. Throw strap over mounting surface.
4. Feed webbing back through the cam buckle, making sure it is fed in through the window in the back of the buckle, as directed by the "FEED Webbing" diagram.
