I want to repair my zero gravity chair with this cord. What should I do to or use at the end to keep the cord in place?

Use a Half Hitch Knot & then using a Heat Shrink Product, Wrap the left over Tail end of the Bungy cord back to the main Line. Scott

Carrie, I have used this item just for that purpose. First, make sure you burn with a lighter the end of the cord to keep from fraying, then once laced I just tie a figure 8 knot at the end of the each run. You can trim the end just before the end of the knot and re-burn it to fuse it. Be careful not to burn yourself and have a spray bottle with water in it to quickly extinguish and cool the burned area. This cord works great.

When you cut the cord, seal it with heat. If you are wanting to create a loop without using a huge knot, you have two options. One... Using a heavy NYLON threaded needle, simply push the needle/thread back and forth through the two pieces of cord until sufficiently secure, then do a nice aesthetic wrap to cover the loose end of the loop. or two... make your loop, stretch it as tight as possible and tightly wrap a stiff wire around both pieces of cord ( for an example of this, see how they secure the ends of bungee straps with the hook ends used for securing cargo). Hope this helps!

This shock cord was a good deal. Seem well made and is holding up. The strongest way to terminate shock cord is with "hog rings". They require a special tool. There are various plastic fittings that just snap on, but they're not overly strong.

Just a single simple over-hand knot has always done the trick for me, on several chairs. This cord is thicker, and the knot is too big to slip back through the openings.

We didn't have to do anything special. No ends were required On the end, we tied a knot and also wrapped the end with black electrician tape.

There is a hole at the end of the handle. Imagine the cord sticking out like a tail. Place it there.

I have the exact same issue. I've tried everything I can think of but it doesn't seem to be removable. I just tie the cord together with a twist tie and use it with the cord dangling out the bottom.

Initially I had the same problem. I turned the base upside down and straddled it to give myself maximum downward pressure on the caster. I put a very small amount of liquid dish soap on the end of the caster and I was able to rock the caster side to side until it slipped into position. My wife loves the chair--hope this help you. Best wishes.

Pull it apart, solder, put it together (check for breaks in 3.5mm cord...replace accordingly)

Make sure when the magnet attaches to the back that the cord doesn't weigh it down and pull it off. Try getting closer to the outlet and reaching behind with your hand to attach the magnet. Hope that helps.

I dont know what to tell you. My chair works fine. This is the best chair that ever bought! You might want to try reassembling it. My friend also bought bought this chair after I told him about it. He also loves it!

When connecting the chair, be sure to remove the black plastic cap that is on one of the chair peices. It looks like it belongs but doesnt. If not removed, the chair won't adjust

I use some good ol' strong duct tape and go over and over the connection and up and down a bit. Sometimes I'll add some aluminum tape over that. It works just great! (I've had to use the duct tape hoses that have cracked open... and that works fine, too.)

If I remember correctly,unscrew the box(there are some rubber pieces just remove the one ) and just lay the cord(different sizes) on the spiked connection.Then just screw back down.I hope this helps.If not I can search and see if I have a copy.

Went though the same and still do at times. Reason is when I hook and unhook / change the equipment one will without knowing twist the cable. You can fix it by taking the weight pin out, pull down the cable a little and just twist it in which ever direction it needs to go to unsnarl or you can go to back of the machine and unhook which will do the same. Now if you are going to the back get someone to help you as it could be a safety issue (Not a serious one) without some help. I now just pay a attention that I do not twist the cable. Use of either method that I mentioned will correct the problem. Good Luck. Went though the same and still do at times.

Melt the ends with a lighter. That will keep it sealed up so it doesn't fray or fall apart . It's very tough mil spec para cord. Hope this was helpful

You should buy a new one from Amazon. My replacement cord works fine. No issues at all.

does anyone know where the spring goes when opening the cord section? My cord got stuck and had to open the comparment and the spring fell out.

I will tell you my own personal fix. The spool is wound roughly nine or ten revolutions when it's made. If you loop a string or cable around the hook, you can let it revolve one or two turns, stop it with your finger and then gently remove the string. The pressure increases with every revolution, so this will reduce the pressure. Sometimes doing this means that i have to help the cord in the last few cm, but it's worth it for me. If you don't like the effect, you can always wind it up again by threading the string around the spool once, looping it onto the hook and pulling the spool around. Just make sure you don't over wind it, because that can damage it. You'll be able to feel the pressure building as you wind. Hope that helps!
