4. Setup Instructions
4.1. Mounting the Platform
- Choose Location: Select a sturdy wall in your training area. Ensure the wall can support the platform's weight and dynamic forces during use.
- Determine Height: The platform is adjustable. Position the top mounting bracket so that the bottom of the speed bag will be at your desired height (typically at eye level or slightly above).
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the wall mount brackets against the wall at the chosen height. Use a pencil to mark the drilling points for the mounting hardware.
- Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked points. Use appropriate drill bits for your wall type (wood studs, concrete, etc.).
- Secure Brackets: Attach the wall mount brackets using the provided screws and anchors. Ensure they are firmly secured and level.
- Attach Platform: Slide the platform assembly onto the mounted brackets. Secure it using the lock pin and fixing knobs to prevent movement.
4.2. Attaching the Speed Bag
- Inflate Speed Bag: Use the provided hand pump and needle to inflate the speed bag. Do not overinflate; the bag should be firm but slightly pliable.
- Attach Swivel: Connect the ball bearing swivel to the underside of the platform. Ensure it is tightly secured.
- Connect Speed Bag: Attach the inflated speed bag to the swivel. The swivel allows for 360-degree rotation and fast rebound.
