Adjusting Your Fly Jumpers
Each user may need to adjust the height of the knee bar or cuffs for their own height. Some users may also need to adjust the bindings to rest properly against their feet.
1.) Adjusting the calf-wraps and knee bars
To adjust the height and positioning of knee bar you will need an Allen key and a 10mm wrench or ratchet. The allen key is provided with each new set of Fly Jumpers and is included with this manual. This adjustment is necessary to give users the best stability and ease of use.
Knee bars and calf cuffs should rest approximately 1.5 to 2 inches below the bottom of your knee cap (or patella bone). The knee support bar should rest just below the bottom of the Patellar Tendon (this is the tendon which connects the knee cap to your shin bone) and on the upper part of the Tibia bone (this is your shin bone). You will be able slide the bar up and down your shin to find the most comfortable spot for you, just don’t rest it too low (like 4 or 5 inches below the bottom of your knee cap) as this will place more pressure on your shin and less on the actual knee bar. Users who are using the original knee bar found on most models should also wear knee pads and place them just underneath the bar to add comfort and padding to your shins. Traditional volleyball knee pads are an excellent way to add cushioning under the knee bar.
To adjust the knee bar’s height, slightly loosen the hex screws located on the sides of the plastic knee bar support collar that has the knee bar attached.
Loosen the 4 hex key bolts located on the side of the plastic collar supporting the knee bar. You do not need to completely remove these 4 bolts as just loosening these hex key bolts will allow you to be able to slide the knee bar up and down.
Now that the knee bar is loose you can now slide the bars up or down the collar to set it in the correct spot for your body. If the collar moves or shifts while you do this be sure to put it back into place before tightening the screws.
After you have found the best resting spot for the knee bar you can tighten the hex key bolts back up. You want to tighten the screws firmly but not too tight as this can damage both the screws and the plastic. The best way to tighten the allen key bolts is to tighten one and then tighten the one diagonally across from it and then do the same again for the other 2 bolts. This will ensure that all the plastic parts of the collar connect together correctly and square.
2.) Adjusting the Bindings
Adjusting the bindings is also very easy and only requires a standard star head screw driver. There are adjustment holes on the sides of all the binding straps with the ratchets on them. All that you need to do is remove the screw supporting the binding in the present adjustment hole. Once you remove this screw you can select the correct hole for your foot size and then just screw the star head screw and washer into this adjustment hole. Be sure to make sure that the screw and bolt is tight again and is firmly securing the binding strap. |
