IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and

instructions in this manual and all warnings on the vibration platform before using the vibration
platform. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or

hrough the use of this product.

t

1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or per­sons with pre-existing health problems.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the vibration platform are
adequately informed of all precautions.

3. The vibration platform is intended for home
use only. Do not use the vibration platform
in a commercial, rental, or institutional set­ting.

4. Keep the vibration platform indoors, away
from moisture and dust. Place the vibration
platform on a level surface, with a mat
beneath it to protect the floor or carpet. Do
not place the vibration platform in a garage
or covered patio, or near water.

5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu­larly.

6. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the vibration platform at all times.

7. The vibration platform should not be used
by persons weighing more than 250 lbs.
(113 kg).

10. It is recommended that you use the vibration
platform for no longer than 15 minutes per
day and no more than 3 times per week.

11. Be careful when stepping down from the
vibration platform; your muscles will feel dif­ferent after you exercise on the vibration
platform.

12. Following is a list of factors and conditions
that may make exercising on the vibration
platform inadvisable (this list is not exhaus­tive; it is intended only for reference). If one
or more factors or conditions apply to you,
consult your physician before using the
vibration platform.

• Knee or hip implant

• Pacemaker

• Recently placed screws, pins, bolts, or

spirals

• Acute hernia, discopathy, or spondylitis

• Serious heart or vascular disease

• Acute thrombosis

• Tumor

• Serious migraine

• Epilepsy

• Serious diabetes

• Recent wound due to operation

• Fresh inflammation

• Pregnancy

8. Never allow more than one person on the
vibration platform at a time.

9. Keep your back straight while using the
vibration platform; do not arch your back.
While standing on the vibration platform,
bend your knees slightly and balance your
weight on the balls of your feet.

13. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,
stop immediately and cool down.

14. Use the vibration platform only as described
in this manual.

3

15. When connecting the power cord (see page
), plug the power cord into an earthed cir-

9
cuit. No other appliance should be on the
same circuit.

16. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-

conductor, 1mm

onger than 1.5 m (5 ft.).

l

17. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-

faces.

2

(14-gauge) cord that is no

18. Never leave the vibration platform unattend­d while it is running. Always unplug the

e
power cord and switch the on/off switch cir­cuit breaker to the off position when the
vibration platform is not in use. (See the
drawing on page 5 for the location of the cir­cuit breaker.)

19.

DANGER: Always unplug the power

cord when the vibration platform is not in
use and before cleaning the vibration plat­form. Servicing other than the procedures in
this manual should be performed by an
authorized service representative only.

platform offers whole body vibration options designed
to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable.

For your benefit, read this manual carefully before
you use the vibration platform. If you have ques-

tions after reading this manual, please see the front

ASSEMBLY

To make assembly easier, carefully read the
following assembly tips:

• Assembly requires two persons.

• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until the vibration platform is fully
assembled.

• See the drawings below to identify small parts
used in assembly. Note: If a part is not in the

hardware kit, check to see if it has been
preattached.

• Tighten all parts as you assemble them.

Assembly may require the following tools (not

•
included):

one adjustable wrench

one rubber mallet

one Phillips screwdriver

Assembly will be more convenient if you have a
socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches. To avoid

damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools.

1. Orient the Lower Upright (B) so that the lower
control panel is facing the platform.

While a second person holds the Lower Upright
(B) near the Base (A), plug the upright wire into
the indicated jack in the Base.

Next, insert the Lower Upright (B) into the Base
(A).

HOW TO USE THE VIBRATION PLATFORM

OW TO MOVE THE VIBRATION PLATFORM

H

Hold the upper handlebar and place one foot against
one of the wheels. Tilt the vibration platform until it

olls freely on the wheels.

r

Next, carefully move the vibration platform to the
desired location. To reduce the risk of injury, use

extreme caution while moving the vibration plat­form. Do not move the vibration platform over an
uneven surface.

DANGER: Improper connection

of the equipment-earthing conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service­man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly earthed. 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 must be earthed. If it should malfunc-

tion or break down, earthing provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This product is equipped with a power
cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an
earthing plug. IMPORTANT: If the power cord is

damaged, it must be replaced with a manufacturer­recommended power cord.

Plug the
power cord
into the
receptacle
on the base.

Next, plug
the power
cord into an
appropriate
outlet that is
properly
installed and
earthed in
accordance
with all local
codes and
ordinances. Note: Your power cord and outlet may
appear different. IMPORTANT: The vibration plat-

form is not compatible with GFCI-equipped out­lets.

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, you may damage the console
or other electronic components.

Plug the power cord into the receptacle on the base of
the vibration platform. Then, plug the power cord into
an appropriate outlet (see page 11).

Next, locate the on/off switch
on the side of the vibration
platform near the power cord.
Make sure that the on/off
switch is in the on position.

TROUBLESHOOTING

nspect all parts of the vibration platform regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. Outer surfaces of the vibra-

I
tion platform can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent; do not use solvents to clean

he vibration platform.

t

ost vibration platform problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom

M
that applies, and follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, see the telephone number on
the front cover of this manual.

PROBLEM: The power does not turn on

SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the power cord is fully plugged into the receptacle on the base of the vibration

platform. Next, make sure that the power cord is plugged into an appropriate outlet (see page

11). IMPORTANT: The vibration platform is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.

b. Check the on/off switch located on the vibration plat-

form base near the power cord. Make sure that the
on/off switch is in the on position.

c. If the power cord is plugged in and the on/off switch is in the on position, the fuse may need to

be replaced.

To replace the fuse, first switch the on/off switch to the off position and unplug the power cord.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the fuse holder located above the on/off switch. Remove
the fuse from the fuse holder.

Insert a new fuse into the fuse holder. Note: The correct type of fuse to use is listed on the fuse
holder.

Replace the fuse holder, plug in the power cord, switch the on/off switch to the on position, and
run the vibration platform to check for correct operation.

d. If the vibration platform still will not run, please see the back cover of this manual.

PROBLEM:The power turns off during use

b

Off

On

SOLUTION: a. Check the on/off switch (see the drawing on page 11). Make sure that the on/off switch is in the

on position.

b. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in. If the power cord is plugged in, unplug it, wait for

five minutes, and then plug it in.

c. If the power cord is plugged in and the on/off switch is in the on position, the fuse may need to

be replaced. See step c. above to replace the fuse.
