# Pulley Gear 2 Set up

To utilize resisted loads higher than 50 kg and assisted loads higher than 75 kg you will need to attach a pulley between the machine and the athlete. The pulley will double the maximum allowed load at the cost of half the maximum allowed speed (down from 5 m/s to 2.5 m/s when using the pulley).

To get the correct data you also need to put the 1080 Software in Second Gear mode. ![cable pulley control app.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2720a32a-6d48-40c3-870e-0cf3536ac843/Images/Documentation/cable%20pulley%20control%20app(1).png)

The 1080 Cable system comes with a solid, ball-bearing pulley.

1. Press the gear pulley in the resistance bar and select Pulley.
2. Place the Cable-line inside the pulley, around the drum

***Make sure the line is correctly aligned in the center of the drum. If it ends up off the drum, there is a high risk of the line cutting due to high friction

1. Attach the carabiner/end of the line to the attachment pull slider.

NOTE: Maximum Speed Limit after Gear 2 is attached is 2.5 m/s.
