How to Use the Vibration Platform

Moving the Platform

Unplug the power cord before moving. Moving requires two persons. One person lifts the upright/handlebars, while the other lifts the rear frame. Bend knees and use legs, not back, to lift.

Turning On the Power

IMPORTANT: If exposed to cold temperatures, allow the platform to warm to room temperature before powering on to prevent damage to electronic components.

Plug the power cord into the jack on the base near the upright. Plug the other end into a 120-volt outlet. Locate the on/off switch near the power cord and ensure it is in the "on" position.

Using Hand Straps

Insert hand strap ends through U-bolts on the standing platform sides and adjust to desired length.

Exercise Form

Refer to the exercise chart for correct form. When standing, bend knees slightly and balance weight on the balls of your feet.

Features of the Console

The console offers manual mode for adjusting vibration time and frequency, and four programs: Total Body, Upper Body, Lower Body, and Abdominals. Each program automatically cycles through exercises for specific muscle groups.

How to Use the Manual Mode

Note: A tone signals the end of a session. The platform stops automatically. Press "On/Off" to stop anytime.

Starting Additional Sessions

When finished, switch the on/off switch to "off" and unplug the power cord.

How to Use the Programs

1. Select Program: Turn on power, press "Select Programs" until the desired program indicator lights.
2. Start Program: Press the "On/Off" button.
