Troubleshooting
The band feels sticky after use
Wipe the tube with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then lightly dust it with a small amount of talcum powder if desired after it has completely dried.
Tension feels inconsistent during movement
Check the tube for any small nicks or signs of wear. Ensure your movement path is steady and avoid jerky, uncontrolled repetitions.
Handles are rotating too much during exercise
Ensure your grip is centered on the NBR foam and maintain consistent tension throughout the entire range of motion to prevent the band from shifting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Power Tube is straightforward: simply grasp the handles and perform your chosen movement. For resistance, you can vary the tension by changing your stance width or shortening the usable length of the band by gripping closer to the anchor point. When anchoring the tube to objects, ensure the surface is smooth to prevent material abrasion. To clean the band, wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing the band in extremely hot environments or exposing it to sharp objects, as these can compromise the integrity of the TPR material.
