How do you thread the ropes through the pulley's? Instructions & pictures are awful.

I hired someone to install the system after I couldn't do it myself. Sorry, I would do the same or return it.

Hi. I found a youtube link and it showed it pretty well. You might be able to find the link pasted in one of the reviews regarding this set. It is holding my 80lb coleman scanoe without any problems. Be sure to thread it before hanging up the set. Thanks!

I used this video, and you're right the instructions are horrible. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=03NYW8znZO0

Yes I agree re instructions and pictures are awful. Find the single pulley. The rope should go through the double pulley to the single oneand tie a knot at the single pulley. There is a hole in the brace that the rope goes into where you tie the knot. One line from the single pulley to the double pulley that goes down to the pulling hooks to lift the boat. Then it goes back up to the other side of the double pulley.You end up with 1 rope at one end and 2 ropes at the double pulley. This is hard to explain you might want to check out the Utube video.

No instructions are provided. You are meant to figure out your own ways to configure it. It's meant to be educational. Some mechanical ability Sure makes it easier though.

The retainer pin and pulley are on the 1-5 side. The instructions have the sides reversed, they are incorrect.

Kevin as the ceilings in my house are not high enough to do what you are attempting I do applaud you in your effort I have seen the pulley system from one of these used search "Hunters Specialties Mag Lift System with Gambrel"Hope this helped

You are correct. I couldn't either and what I did was I got a few wire ties and tied at 12 3 6 9 positions and that did it. I couldn't get the screws to go thru the holes like the pic stated. Unless they sent me the wrong one. Hope that helps...

Sorry I sent it as a gift. I think you could probably google instructions. Good luck :)

No, there are not any instructions with the product. But check out videos on youtube... like many of us did when we had to learn to tie a tie.

You pull it to the desired length where you have installed a hook to catch it. Then you walk to the housing and wrap (giving tension) the string onto the base. Notice picture has two small protrusion at bottom of housing.

I would use the nylon rope supplied , it's easyer to bend around the pulleys

I'm trying to figure that out too! A video would be nice. The step-by-step instructions aren't clear.

I finally got this to work, after lots of frustration and effort. The manufacturer should include an instructional diagram or photo with this harness so the buyer gets a good visual for how to use it. It is NOT intuitive when you first unwind the harness. Poor documentation from the manufacturer.

I never have any need to remove the pulleys themselves. When the pulleys need to be disconnected from the glide board you reach under the glide board and unhook the rope. Takes 2 seconds.The other things I do to switch are to change the difficult setting, i.e. raise or lower the glide board. This takes about 15 seconds. Getting in and out of the foot strap is a bit awkward, maybe 30 seconds. Swapping the pulley handles for the bicep bar doesn't always go easily; getting the handles out of the clips takes some work. Swap is still under a minute though. A couple other things take just a few seconds. I never have any need to remove the pulleys themselves.

It is the most basic pulley system....just attach the two ends 1. to the light fixture then 2. to whatever you are hanging the light from (ceiling, wall fixture, etc.) Then just use the pulleys to adjust the height...super easy/ basic to use

Couldn't figure out also what to do with it either so I untied the knot and rewove the chord so that it just crisscrosses using the outside loops. It seems to work great now and I can get whatever I need to in there and still tighten using that black figamagig (whatever that is called).

There is a paper with pictures showing you how to do this... There's no way I could explain it. It was very frustrating at first till I figured it out. Now, after a few times of doing it, I rarely need to look at the picture to remember how to do it. Piece of advice, though, make sure you don't throw away or lose that paper and keep it in the bag for reference! LOL!

It's hard but I did it myself. You put one end with the string on against the floor then lean on and bend the other end pulling the string around when close enough. Too hard to explain they have videos on YouTube just watch one you will get it

Mine came with instructions...have you tried searching for them online? I've found many missing instructions for stuff online.
