Locked-N-Loaded™ — How and When to Unlock the Pulley

When you first begin using the CrossCore® system, it is recommended that everyone begins in “Locked-N-

Loaded™” mode by making sure the Pin Engagement System (“PES™”) is engaged or locked. A red triangle 

will be visible in a vertical orientation and located at the top of the pulley system when the pulley is in the 

Locked-N-Loaded or locked position. 

There will be no significant red indicator band visible at the bottom of the PES when the pulley is in Locked-

N-Loaded mode.

Locked-N-Loaded or “PIN IN” mode adds substantial (but not total) stability to the CrossCore unit by 

locking the pulley wheel in place. The inside surface of the pulley wheel has also been designed with special 

ribs or “rope catches”. Though the pulley wheel is fully locked and the rope catches are assisting to resist 

rope movement, the rope may still slide back and forth over the top of the pulley wheel. This feature makes 

it almost impossible for the user to favor their dominate side as they still must work to maintain their balance 

and form.

When “Open Mode” is desired, the user can simply “PULL THE PIN™” by pulling down on and turning the 

PES at the bottom of the pulley housing. 

A red indicator band will appear at the bottom of the PES:

Two red triangles will appear in a horizontal orientation and located to the sides of the pulley. The pulley 

wheel can be seen and felt rotating freely when one of the handles or the rope is pulled.
