THE BEGINNING
Viequipment was born in the firm belief that it is possible to evolve exercise using
vibration through the development of innovative vibratory devices. Gerard Moras
and Sergio Rodríguez began to forge the foundations of Viequipment in 2009,
when they developed the first vibratory platform with different levels of distur-
bance, the Vibalance. All of their products were designed painstakingly by the
creators to increase the effectiveness and versatility of training. The positive re-
sults obtained in sport and in the field of rehabilitation motivated them to take on
new challenges to continue growing and share their findings.
We thank you for choosing to purchase a Viequipment product. Its technology,
design and quality will bring long lasting, total satisfaction.
Before starting the MACHINE, carefully read the user’s instructions and save them
for future consultation.
Note: if any type of doubt regarding the operations contained in this manual ari-
se, we advise that it be the official distributor who effects said operations.

Among their values, Viequipment stands apart for the idea of promoting a com-
munity which leads a modern and critical vision in the implementation of exercise
with vibration.
A new way of training.
Vibalance, Viroller and Vislide continuously evolve towards the goal of creating
innovative, extremely different but very complementary products that satisfy a
good part of the needs of physical conditioning and rehabilitation professionals.
THE VIBALANCE 2.0
Vibalance 2.0 is a vibration platform with different levels of stability that impro-
ves specific aspects of neuromuscular performance. It allows for training with
multidirectional and bi-directional instability, as well as instability on the incline
or decline plane. It even transforms into a stable platform.
Vibration exercise with Vibalance 2.0 can be used during training and as a special
tool at the end of training sessions to accelerate neuromuscular recuperation, or
during warm-up to empower the following performance.

APPROPRIATE USE OF THE VIBALANCE 2.0
CHOOSING THE LOCATION FOR THE INSTALLATION
Vibalance 2.0 is intended for use in professional locales or gymnasiums for exerci-
se with vibration with different stability conditions.
Vibalance 2.0 is not intended for use in outdoor areas.
Vibalance 2.0 should be used in an environment with a temperature between
+10°C and +40°C.
Vibalance 2.0 may be used by children over 8 years of age, persons with reduced
mental or sensorial capacity, or persons without sufficient experience or knowledge
if they have been instructed in the safe use of the vibratory bar and they unders-
tand the risks involved.
The Vibalance 2.0 and the control tower should be installed on a flat, stable sur-
face. It is recommended that the surface on which the platform is placed be suffi-
ciently stable so as to prevent it from moving during exercise.
The free space around the sliding platform should not be less than 0.6 m (figure 2).
The free space should also include emergency space.
IT IS ADVISED TO NOT SURPASS A TOTAL OF 20 MINUTES OF EXPOSI-
TION TO VIBRATORY STIMULATION AND TO NOT BE EXPOSED TO MORE
THAN 10 CONSECUTIVE MINUTES. REST BETWEEN EXERCISES SHOULD
BE AT LEAST 3 MINUTES.

CORRECT USE OF THE EQUIPMENT AND ASSEMBLY
SAFETY TIPS AND ADVICE
The vibratory platform should connect to the control tower via the safety connec-
tor and the control tower should be connected to the public electricity network
as a power source.
Do not force the original position of the L-shaped connector. The greater length
of the spiral cable which connects the vibratory platform with the control tower
must be in contact with the ground. It is recommended to not separate the con-
trol tower more than 0.8 m from the vibratory platform.

U S E R ‘ S M A N U A L | V I B A L A N C E 2 . 0 | 10
The spiral cable connecting the vibratory platform to the control tower should never
wrap around the machine in order to prevent it from becoming trapped by the
vibratory plate when it comes into contact with the base of the platform.
Do not step on the spiral cable.
Never touch the connection cables with wet hands.
Remove connection cables by pulling on the terminations and not the cable, as this
could result in damage.
Do not situate the control tower near sources of heat for prolonged periods of time
(heaters, hot are circuits…) and maintain ventilation displays unobstructed.
Do not place the Vibalance 2.0 in a humid environment. Do not allow liquid to
enter the equipment, especially the control tower.
Keep the machine away from heat sources.
Viequipment takes no responsibility for damages caused by failure or interruption
of the grounding cable (ie. Electrical discharge).
It is not recommended to mount or dismount the vibratory platform in the area
near the connection cable that connects the control tower to the platform.
Before conducting any exercise, make certain that the control tower is sufficiently
distant from the vibratory platform and that it poses no safety risk.

U S E R ‘ S M A N U A L | V I B A L A N C E 2 . 0 | 11
In order to avoid possible accidents when mounting and dismounting the machi-
ne, in no case should un-used stabilizers be left near the vibratory platform.
In order to avoid possible injury, do not place hands or feet in the space be-
tween the vibratory plate and the machine´s base.
It is recommended to mount the machine with clean, dry athletic shoes or heavy
socks.
When attaching external resistance systems to the vibratory platform (elastic
straps and/or pulley machines) using its lateral anchors, be sure to use adequate
snap rings.
Do not use the platform if the surface of the vibratory plate, the anti-impact
hoop, or the stabilizers are worn out.
Once training is finished, stop the device using the principal switch and discon-
nect the control tower when it is not going to be used for prolonged periods of
time.
To store and move the Vibalance 2.0 turn off the principal switch located at the
bottom of the tower and disconnect the L-shaped connector from the control
tower.

CONNECTION OF THE VIBALANCE 2.0 TO THE CONTROL TOWER
Once removed from the packaging, place the control tower near the sliding plat-
form so that the spiral cable is positioned near the connector. Connect the spiral
cable safety connector to the electronic control tower as shown in Figure 3. Plug the
power cable in to the power socket and turn on the principal switch.

If the display does not come on, ensure that the L-shaped connector is properly
inserted and that the power plug functions correctly.
The position of the L-shaped connector is fixed and must be maintained so. For
correct maintenance of the connector, do not force or rotate the L-shaped body,
ensuring that it not be subjected to excessively elevated tension.
Your Vibalance 2.0 is ready to use.
EXERCISES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
ADVISORY: BEFORE BEGINNING ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM, CONSULT
YOUR DOCTOR.
Read all of the instructions before using the product. Improper training or excessi-
ve exercise can cause health damage. Always use under the supervision of a profes-
sional.
If you experience pain or vertigo while doing exercise, stop immediately and cool
down. This is especially important for anyone who has had previous health pro-
blems.
Vi-equipment assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage
due to or caused by the use of this product.

U S E R ‘ S M A N U A L | V I B A L A N C E 2 . 0 | 14
Vibalance 2.0 is designed, fundamentally, for exercises conducted standing on
one or two legs, although exercises can also be performed with the upper extre-
mities by placing the hands upon the vibratory platform.
In all exercises it is recommended to not reach the maximum extension of the
knees or arms in order to avoid the discomfort that may be produced by vibra-
tory stimulus when it reaches the head.
The total time of exposure to vibratory stimulation in one single session should
not exceed 20 mins, regardless of the amplitude and frequency selected. Excee-
ding this time limit could be damaging to one’s health.
GETTING ON AND GETTING OFF OF THE EQUIPMENT
Vibalance 2.0 allows one to adjust various levels of stability. Maximum stabili-
ty is reached when the four stabilizers are placed around the perimeter of the
machine´s base and minimum stability when all the stabilizers are removed. In
all conditions in which all stabilizers are not used the user should mount the
machine knowing that the vibratory plate will incline until it comes into contact
with the anti-impact hoop at the base of the platform. It is recommended, at
least during the first exercises, to mount the vibratory plate by putting one foot
near the lateral edge of the vibratory plate and pressing until it is in contact with
the base itself. Then the user should proceed to put the other foot on the vibra-
tory platform at the same distance from the lateral edge of the vibratory plate,
but on the opposite side following the reference marks (Figure 4).

GETTING ON AND GETTING OFF OF THE EQUIPMENT
Figure 4. How to get on the Vibalance 2.0 safely.
When finished exercising, it is recommended to not step down from the machi-
ne until the vibratory plate has come into contact with some part of the base
and become stable. At this time, one can proceed to dismount from the vibratory
platform by first moving the foot which is found in the most elevated part of the
vibratory plate.

PLACEMENT OF STABILIZERS
Vibalance 2.0 comes with four stabilizers that allow for the modification of its
condition of stability. The stabilizers should be placed along the outside edge
of the platform’s base with its socket on the anti-impact hoop. In figure 5, the
correct placement of the stabilizers is detailed.
Before getting on the platform, ensure that the stabilizers are correctly inserted
in the vertical position (Figure 6).
Vibalance 2.0 originally provided multidirectional instability. Using the stabi-
lizing accessories, the degree of stability can be modified depending upon the
number of accessories used and their placement:
Bidirectional instability: the placement of two stabilizers, one on either side of
the platform, allows one to stabilize it along one of two horizontal axes. Depen-
ding upon the placement of the feet in respect to the instable axis, one may
work with anteroposterior or lateral instability.
Stable platform: place the four stabilizing accessories symmetrically spaced
around the perimeter of the vibratory platform to transform Vibalance 2.0 into a
virtually stable platform.
