CrossCore® User Guide & Manual

a.   Attach the door anchor so that the door opens AWAY from you. This is the most secure setup as 

your body-weight will pull the door closed (RECOMMENDED).

i.   Hang door anchor and strap on side of door closest to hinges. Close door securely making 

sure the door handle lock engages. 

ii.  Take the closed loop end of the door strap and insert it through the back of the door pad.

iii.  Continue feeding it through one side of the top of the pulley housing. Then insert one 

“E-clip” into the loop, and then the other “E-clip” into the loop. Make sure that both sides of 

the respective E-clips are inserted in the loop facing each other. This procedure will create a 

closed loop or encompassing enclosure of the loop/strap by the two E-rings. 

b.   Place the door anchor which is attached to the door strap over the top of a door on side of door 

closest to hinges. Door chosen must be secure enough to easily hold users weight.

 i.   Close door and pull on strap to make sure the door anchor is secure and will support your 

bodyweight. 

ii.  Make sure to perform this safety test to ensure door strap and door anchor are fully secured 

in-place before using the CrossCore.  Failure to do so could result in injury.

c.   In addition to the use of the door pad provided as part of the Home kit, when releasing the han-

dles/foot and arm cradles, walk towards the door and gently place the handles down towards the 

ground to further protect the door from scuffs and marks. Do not let the handles/foot and arm 

cradles or pulley swing freely towards the door as this may cause damage to the surface of the 

door.

d.   Attaching the door strap and door anchor with door opening TOWARD you (NOT RECOMMEND-

ED): 

i.   Place door strap and door anchor over the top of the door and then slide the door strap 

and door anchor all the way above the upper door hinge (this is the most secure and stable 

point of the door and will not put force on the door and will help to prevent door from acci-

dentally opening.

ii.  Close door securely making sure the door handle lock engages.

iii.  Perform weight test by pulling the door strap to make sure door is securely closed and that 

anchor is secure prior to performing any exercise.
