I GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, 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 appropriate 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 serviceman 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-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure A. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this product.

Noise generated while operating the unit
The following noise may be qenerated while operating the
unit. These noises are mechanical and are considered
normal.
• Operating noise generated at the forward and the backward
positions during eight-figure operation in four directions
(forward-backward and left-right) (knocking sounds).
• Operating noises generated when tilted operation of the
seat. (Locking sounds)
• Noises while sitting on the seat or operating the unit.

Difference in the tilt angles in the right and left direction that you feel during exercise
You may feel the tilt in the right and left direction during the
exercise. There is no difference in the tilt angles to the right
and left, but you may experience a difference due to
difference in muscle strength between the right and left. You
may feel it when the unit moves faster than the optimum
speed level for your level of physical fitness.
Use that unit without experiencing discomfort by decreasing
the speed level.

unit again after the pain disappears, hold the seat firmly with your thighs so that vour buttocks do not move during
the exercise. Wear pants with thick fabric, and exercise with reasonable intensity.
If there is abrasion still, try the following methods;
(1) Use the unit at iow speed until you grow accustomed to the movement and you don’t feel any pain in the
buttocks, and then graduaiiy increase the speed.

“Easy” course, gradually increase the speed in the “Light” course to improve your level of physical fitness.
Never over do the exercise—and always gradually increase the intensity of the exercise.
