HOW TO ADJUST THE HE GHT OF THE HAND
RESTS
Before changing the height of the and Rests (4),
adjust the four Leveling Feet (26) so that the Base
(1) is level on your floor.
To adjust the height of the and Rests (4), pull the
eight Adjustment Lever (13), raise or lower the
Upright (6), and then push the eight Adjustment
Lever back to the closed position.
Adjust the height of the and Rests (4) to waist
level for the basic exercise position. Adjust the
height of the and Rests as needed for specific
exercises and when using the balance steps (see
OW TO USE T E BALANCE STEPS below).
Note: If the and Rests (4) slide downward when
the eight Adjustment Lever (13) is in the closed
position, pull the eight Adjustment Lever, turn the
Grooved Screw (29) one half turn, and then push
the eight Adjustment Lever back to the closed
position. Repeat this procedure until the and Rests
no longer slide downward when the eight
Adjustment Lever is closed. Do not tighten the
Grooved Screw more than necessary.
HOW TO USE THE BALANCE STEPS
The Large Balance Step (2) has a hard surface and
a soft surface. The soft surface is designed for bal-
ance enhancement exercise. To use the Large
Balance Step, place it inside the Base (1) with the
desired surface facing upward.
The Small Balance Step (3) is designed for higher-
level balance and aerobic exercise, stair training,
and stretching exercises. To use the Small Balance
Step, place it on the Large Balance Step (2) as
shown. Make sure that the tabs under the Small
Balance Step are engaged in the Large Balance
Step for stability. Do not use the Small Balance
Step without the Large Balance Step.
ADJUSTMENT
Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time you use the BalanceGym. Replace any worn parts imme-
diately. Outer surfaces of the BalanceGym can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent;
do not use solvents to clean the BalanceGym.
