HOW TO USE THE VIBRATION PLATFORM
H
OW TO MOVE THE VIBRATION PLATFORM
Hold the upper handlebar and place one foot against
one of the wheels. Tilt the vibration platform until it
r
olls freely on the wheels.

desired location. To reduce the risk of injury, use
extreme caution while moving the vibration plat-
form. Do not move the vibration platform over an
uneven surface.
H
OW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
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 manufacturer-
recommended 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 out-
lets.
