!Warning: To avoid the risk of electric
shock, this equipment must only be
connected to a supply main with
protective earth grounding.
The machine should be set up on a
hard, level surface in an area free of
obstructions within at least three feet
of the vibration platform.
The machine should not be used
outdoors, near a pool, or near any
source of water or extreme humidity.
Contact with water could cause a
short-circuit, which could cause
personal injury or damage the machine.
Unplug the machine when not in use.
Never attempt to lift or move the
machine without assistance.
Never operate the machine if it has
been dropped, tipped over, damaged,
or even partially immersed in water,
unless an authorized Power Plate
service professional has examined the
machine and cleared it for use.
Never insert objects into any opening
on the machine. If an object falls into
the machine, shut the machine off
and remove the power plug before
attempting to retrieve the object.
If the object cannot be reached,
contact an authorized Power Plate
service professional.
Position and Balance
In order to avoid possible injury from
the machine’s vibrations, Power Plate
recommends the user not lean back
on his/her heels or “lock” his/her joints
or straighten his/her legs when standing
upright on the machine.
It is important at all times to maintain
balance while on the machine.
The user, however, should not “hang”
on the machine’s handles in order to
maintain balance but should (unless the
directions for a particular exercise state
otherwise) keep his/her knees directly
above the toes.
Proper position and balance are
especially important if the user employs
weights during any exercise on the
machine. Power Plate strongly
recommends users not employ weights
while using the machine, unless they
are being coached by an exercise
professional or unless the user has
extensive experience with weight training
or with Power Plate.
The three illustrations on the right
demonstrate the incorrect ways to stand
on the machine.
