OW TO MOVE THE VIBRATION PLATFORM
H
EATURES OF THE CONSOLE
F
Before moving the vibration platform, make sure
that the power cord is unplugged.
Due to the size and weight of the vibration platform, moving it requires two persons. While a sec-
ond person lifts the upright and the handlebars, lift the
rear of the frame and carefully move the vibration platform to the desired location. Then, lower the vibration
platform to the floor. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
injury, bend your knees and keep your back
straight. Make sure to use your legs rather than
your back to lift the vibration platform.
HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
IMPORTANT: If the vibration platform has been
exposed to cold temperatures, allow it to warm to
room temperature before turning on the power. If
you do not do this, the console or other electronic
components may become damaged.
Plug the power cord into
the jack located on the
base of the vibration platform near the upright.
Then, plug the power
cord into a 120-volt outlet. Next, locate the on/off
switch on the vibration
platform near the power cord. Make sure that the
on/off switch is in the “on” position.
HOW TO USE THE HAND STRAPS
Some exercises on the vibration platform can be performed with the hand straps. To use the hand straps,
insert the ends of the hand straps through the U-bolts
on the right and left sides of the standing platform
(see the drawing on page 4). Then, adjust the hand
straps to the desired length.
EXERCISE FORM
See the accompanying exercise chart to learn the correct form for several exercises that can be performed
on the vibration platform. When standing on the vibration platform, bend your knees slightly and balance

may need to be replaced.
IMPORTANT: To replace the fuse, first switch the

base near the upright.
Using a flat-head screwdriver, remove the fuse
cover next to the jack.
Then, remove the fuse
from the fuse holder.
