GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriated
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.

DANGER-improper connection of the equipment –grounding conductor

can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
servicemen if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the product- if it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure 86.1. Make sure that the
products is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No adapter should be used with this product.

EQUIPMENT / FUNCTIONS

The PowerBoard 2.1 is equipped with a high-performance, stabile motor. Aside from its diverse automatic
programs (For details see [2] automatic programs), the PowerBoard 2.1 is equipped with a manual range
that is very easy to adjust. Regardless of what level of tness you have: Unt, doing sport irregularly, doing
sport regularly, or even a professional athlete; training is simple for EVERYONE and can be individually tai­lored to suit one’s own needs. On the device’s digital display you can always see exactly which programme
is activated, the duration of the training time and what the intensity of the training is.

The transport rollers installed in the PowerBoard 2.1 ensure high mobility. The rollers also function as han­dles. The rubber supporting

TRAINING OVERVIEW

TRAINING

ENCLOSED

VD

The recommended training time with the PowerBoard 2.1 is 10 minutes 3 times a week. This full body plan
was established by a personal tness coach and supports you in reaching your goals. You can of course
always tailor the duration and intensity to suit your personal shape or form and preferences. Remember
that a sensible warm-up is necessary before each training session and should be by no means neglected.
Even if you just warm up for 5 minutes, you are then ready to get started. There is a whole range of exer­cises that you can perform using the PowerBoard 2.1. If you desire new input or variety, just take a look
online or get in touch with your PowerBoard 2.1 supplier.

CALORIE COUNTER

The calorie counter of PowerBoard 2.1 is a new function to ensure even more eectiveness.

The calories displayed/consumed represent an average standard value that can be reached by consistent
training. When nding one’s position on the PowerBoard 2.1 without movement you consume much fewer
calories than during an average training session with mediocre eort.

The calorie counter calculates the data on the basis of benchmarks which consist of several sporting ac­tivities. Average values, from a light walk to quick jogging, or a normal work-out exercise with or without
weights, are calculated. The method for calculating calories is based on the overall result of the calorie con­sumption of these types of sports with an average recorded weight of 85kg.

Using this particular method, calorie consumption can be considered to be rather realistic. It is calculated by
the second, so that if there are changes in speed the calorie count is recalculated in order to show an exact
consumption.

BOD M INDEX

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement for assessing a person’s weight (body mass). Since excess
weight is a globally growing problem the body mass index is primarily used to indicate associated risks.

The BMI correlates body mass to the body surface, which is calculated approximately using the square of
the body height. The BMI therefore only represents a rough reference point, as it does not consider phy­sique and sex or the individual composition of a person’s body mass of fat- and muscle tissue.

RESTING HEART RATE

The resting heart rate is an indicator of your tness. It is best measured in the morning shortly after waking
whilst lying down, when the body is still completely relaxed. Measure using thumb and index nger either
from the left wrist or the carotid artery, counting the heart beat for 15 seconds and multiplying the number
by 4, or using a pulse monitor.
