FLUIDSTANCE The Grade User manual

USER GUIDE
Before using your FluidStance®deck, please read this user
guide for safety guidelines, warnings, and other information.

Welcome to a more uid life!
Have you ever noticed how some of your best ideas come to
you while you’re in motion? Whether you’re biking a single
track or simply walking the dog, many experts believe that
movement can help unlock our creativity, kick start our ability
to solve problems, and let us look at challenges in new ways.
FluidStance®decks were inspired by this marriage of movement
and creativity.
As I saw it, the problem was clear: while we are designed to
move, in most cases, our workspaces are not. The patented and
patent-pending technology of our decks elicits subtle, constant
movement below your feet to increase your range of motion
and heart rate. From your cubicle, to the living room, to shared
ofce spaces, my goal is to provide a shift where you need
it the most - physically, emotionally, and intellectually - and I
believe the FluidStance deck can do just that.
It’s my hope that the FluidStance experience will start to affect
your approach to the workday, keeping you in motion and
inspiring the same in those around you. Walking meetings, stair-
climbing clubs, or any other number of motion-related activities
throughout the day are great ways to unshackle yourself from
the desk, change your (and your team’s) perspective, and add
movement and ow to the day. A FluidStance deck is just the
beginning.
Most of all, thank you for purchasing your deck. I hope it moves
you to places you never imagined. Motion enables curiosity,
giving wings to creativity. Our collective, creative move awaits.

About FluidStance: A Company of Motion, LLC
FluidStance is the rst innovation of Company of Motion, LLC. Our sole
purpose is to set the world in motion by offering products that keep us
moving in situations and environments where we are typically static.
Warnings
Warning, Use At Your Own Risk! This product creates an unstable surface.
Use of this product may result in injury or death.
Use of this product requires skill and the exercise of caution; children using
this product should be properly supervised by adults. Due to the nature of
this product, the seller/distributor of this product assumes no responsibility
for damage or injury which may be caused by the use of this product
whether caused by accident, long term use, negligence, or otherwise.
• FluidStance decks are not a toy. Children must be supervised by an
adult.
• If you begin to feel like you may lose your balance, simply step off
the FluidStance deck.
• It is recommended that FluidStance users keep a hand on their desk
or workspace in order to maintain balance.
• Clear the area around you. Move objects away from your desk or
FluidStance deck that may cause injury if you lose your balance and
fall, as well as objects that may impede the deck’s full range.
• Keep the surface of the FluidStance deck dry to reduce risk of
slipping or falling.
Weight Recommendations
Footwear
It is highly recommended that users choose footwear that offers grip on
the surface of a FluidStance deck.
Floor Protection
Place a protective mat under the FluidStance deck to help protect any
surfaces that may get scratched, damaged, or dented.
How To Use
Step 1: Move objects away from your desk or FluidStance deck that
may cause injury if you lose your balance, or that may impede the deck’s
ability to move.
Step 2: Place a protective mat under the deck to guard any surfaces that
may get scratched, damaged, or dented.
Step 3: Place the deck parallel to the desk or surface you plan to use.
Step 4: Stand behind the deck and grab your desk or another solid
object as you step onto the deck.
Step 5: Step onto the deck one foot at a time. Your feet should be
shoulder-width apart.
Step 6: Shift your weight back and forth and front to back to get a feel
for how the FluidStance deck moves. Your body will naturally start to
explore the range of motion of the deck, including spinning the deck
clockwise and counter clockwise.
Extras: Change your stance to explore the possibilities including narrow
and wide stances.
Start Moving
Going from working in a sedentary desk environment to owing on a
FluidStance deck is like hopping off the couch and training for a race:
you want to ease into it. We recommend beginning with the 70:20:10
approach.
Spend 70% of your day working as you were before (either
sitting or standing).
Stand on your deck 20% of your day.
Use the remaining 10% to engage in real-life movement and
exercise.
You’ll eventually want to shift to spending more and more time on your
deck, but we’ve found that this is a great way to ramp it up!
And remember: nding your balance can require micro-adjustments, so
feel free to experiment with what ”moves” you best.

How To Clean
To keep your FluidStance deck clean, simply use warm water
and mild soap to wipe down the deck. Dry off completely before
using. DO NOT use chemical cleaners or wood polish. We also
offer Shine, our all-purpose cleaner. Non-toxic, biodegrable,
and fume-free, Shine is made from 99% natural, plant-derived
ingredients and is safe to use in any work or home environment.

order replacement parts for your FluidStance deck.
Standing Guarantee
We stand behind (and on top of) everything we make with a
lifetime guarantee. We understand that you need to step on a
FluidStance deck to get a sense of how it feels and ows. If you
decide that the deck simply isn’t for you, we ask that you return
it to us in the original packaging in like-new condition within 30
days of its arrival date. To read our full return policy, please visit
uidstance.com/standing-guarantee.
Accessories & Other Products
Additional FluidStance accessories, including protective oor
mats, cushioned top decks, and racks, are currently available.
Please check FLUIDSTANCE.COM for availability.
Maintenance
For the Level®or Original decks, periodically tighten the
four screws on the base of the deck to eliminate any play or
movement between the top and bottom units.
Contact us at ow@uidstance.com or reach out to us on
Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter (@uidstance) to share how
you like your deck. We would love to hear from you.
Our 1-1-1-1 Program
We believe that being a part of our community means more
than providing a great product that can help people engage
their creativity and maximize their work time. That’s why we have
committed 1% of FluidStance sales and 1% of our company
equity to First Descents®, an organization dedicated to providing
free adventure experiences to young adults with cancer. We also
commit 1% of employee time to volunteering at First Descents or
other non-prot organizations.
