HOW TO USE THE VIBRATION PLATFOR
HOW TO OVE THE VIBRATION PLATFOR
Before moving the vibration platform, unplug
the power cord and remove the dumbbells from
the weight rest.
Hold the handlebar and place one foot against the
wheel. Tilt the vibration platform until it rolls freely
on the wheel. Carefully move the vibration platform
to the desired location. To reduce the risk of
injury, use extreme caution while moving the
vibration platform. Do not move the vibration
platform over an uneven surface.
HOW TO USE THE ADJUSTABLE-WEIGHT
DU BBELLS
Each dumbbell handle can be used with two, four,
six, eight, or ten weight plates; each dumbbell han-
dle can also be used without weight plates.
To select the desired number of weight plates, first
set a dumbbell on the weight rest as shown. Next,
lift one of the selector pins, slide the selector pin to
one of the adjustment holes, and then release the
selector pin. Rock the selector pin from side to side
to make sure that it is fully inserted into one of the
adjustment holes. Adjust the other selector pin on
the dumbbell in the same way. Always attach the
same number of weight plates to both sides of
each dumbbell handle.
To use the dumbbell, lift it straight upward off the
weight rest, making sure that the unattached weight
plates remain on the weight rest.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
Your vibration platform, like any other type of sophisti-
cated electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged
by sudden voltage changes in your homeʼs power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of
your vibration platform being damaged, always
use a surge suppressor with your vibration plat-
form (see drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a
surge suppressor, see your local Sears store or
call the telephone number on the back cover of
this manual and order part number 146148, or see
your local electronics store.
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have
a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated
for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-
cate whether it is functioning properly.
This product must be grounded. If it should mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge
suppressor, and plug the surge suppressor into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. I PORTANT: The vibration platform is
not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet
box covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified
electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
