Introduction
Thank you for purchasing your VibraTrim VT500. Please read the entire user manual thoroughly before you
begin operating the VibraTrim. This operation manual should be kept available for future reference after you
have read it through.
Please read the assembly instructions on pages 6-9 before beginning assembly.
It may save you some time and headaches.
Our company has the absolute right to alter the design pictures and material color without prior notice. Design,
pictures and material color seen in this manual are solely for illustration purposes.
The VT500 is the sixth model that we have produced. All of our models feature the oscillation style of vibration.
We believe this is the best form of vibration for the body as it is mimicking the natural walking movement. The
VT500 provides two kinds of vibration modes. One mode is the oscillating vibration style plus the second mode
is spiral vibration. The oscillating vibration is the safest, most complete muscle development simply because it
allows the pelvis to move the way it naturally wants to: rotating side to side, the same as when you walk. This
not only limits vibration of the head and neck but it also brings into play the important small stabilizing muscles
of the spine that you ordinarily would not be able to consciously contract and exercise. Improved posture is an
under-rated benefit of exercising with a Pivotal vibration machine. The spiral vibration provides your muscles
ligaments and tendons to be exercised more thoroughly. Many therapists will also use this mode to aid in
recovering from an injury or surgery. The combined vibration mode also increases your circulation providing
benefits to diabetics, cellulite sufferers, etc. Both vibration modes can be used individually or together. Another
major difference, in this model is the ability to design your own training program with the three user definable
programs.
If you should find something wrong with your unit, please notify us right away either by phone
at 253-238-0675 or by email at service@vibratrim.net. You are covered by our outstanding 3
Year Warranty.
There are hundreds of stories of how these units have changed people’s lives. If you have a
story that you would like to share, after using this unit for a while, we would love to hear it.

Warranty Restrictions
This owner’s warranty only covers the following:

B. Faults that occur in normal use as defined in the owner’s manual, and providing that VibraTrim’s instructions on
installation, maintenance and use have been followed.
