USING THE UPPERTONE
CAUTION: PLEASE CONSULT WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE BEGINNING A
NEW EXERCISE PROGRAM.
Please refer to the Exercise Manual and the videos on the CD that came with the Uppertone, for
instructions on how to use it.
In any case, while the manual describes the various exercises, we strongly suggest that you consult a
physician or physical therapist before beginning any exercise program.
The physician or physical therapist can help you design and develop the most appropriate and SAFE
exercise program for your level of injury and needs. While we give some general guidelines on proper
posture and exercising methods, we strongly recommend that you consult a professional to help you
develop the exercise habits that will provide the most benefit and least likelihood of injury.
In addition, while the manual and CD describe all the exercises that people with quadriplegia can do
on the UPPERTONE, the particular exercises you will be able to do depend on your level and type of
injury.
Finally, DO NOT EXCEED 65 POUNDS ON EACH TRUCK. AND SECURE THE WEIGHTS
ON PEGS BY CLIPPING SPRING CLIPS (74) TO TOP OF WEIGHT TRUCK PEGS.
MAINTAINING THE UPPERTONE
The Uppertone is manufactured with high quality components. Minimal maintenance is required.
Although all bearings are self-lubricating, a light application of general purpose lubricant can be
applied to any moving metal parts which become dry.
Uppertone has an electrostatic powder coated finish, which can be wiped down occasionally with a
damp cloth or mild cleaning solution. WD-40 also does a good cleaning job.
Regular Checkup: You should regularly check the UPPERTONE’ for parts that are coming loose or
becoming noisy, and the cable for fraying etc. Any parts which are showing wear should be replaced,
and any parts that are coming loose should be tightened. In any case, we recommend replacing the
cable every year with light usage such as at home, and every six months if the machine is in a multi
user setting where it is likely to undergo heavy usage.

material under normal use and service.
