ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
This advanced design is ergonomically designed and maintains a high level of reliability and smooth
noiseless functionality.
PACKAGING: Retain all packing materials for your 15K until you are certain you have all components.
COMPONENTS: The ZAAZ 15K components include the Vibration unit, post, console, handlebars,
tool kit, power cord and User’s Manual.
7. Put the left long handlebar onto the top of
the post. Attach loosely with the long bolt by
first feeding the bolt through the hole in the
top of the arm and then lining it up with the
hole in the top of the post. Connect bottom of
left arm to the base. Tighten the screws loosely.
Then assemble the right handlebar the same
way. Tighten the top bolts and bottom screws
snugly.
9. Remove the screws from the underside of the
console and attach to the top of the post. As
you attach to the post, feed the cable down the
centre of the post so you don’t pinch the wires
when you tighten the screws.
11. To use the body fat measurement function,
remove the protective plastic film from the
sensors on the handles.
13. Connect the plug to the power outlet, and
press the red switch on the back of the base to
turn on the machine.
12. Connect the plug to the power outlet, and
press the red switch on the back of the base to
turn on the machine.
NOTE
Re-Tightening of screws and bolts may be
required every 3-6 months, depending on use.
8. Attach the 3 cables from the underside of the
console to the 2 from the curved handles and
the 1 from the centre of the post.
10. Tighten all screws and bolts snugly.
1. Remove all packaging.
5. Unscrew the 4 screws on both sides of the
base, (2 at the front and 2 at the back).
3. Connect the cable to the base.
2. At the top of the post, insert the cable
through the small hole in the middle so it pro-
trudes out both ends. Grip the top of the cable
and don’t let it fall into the post.
4. Affix the post to the base with the 4 bolts,
using the screwdriver provided or a 12 mm
socket wrench.
6. Starting with the left handlebar, connect
and screw the handle pieces (A and B) with the
plastic connector (C). Then connect piece D to
the plastic connector. Put the two handlebars
onto the end tubes simultaneously.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Careful maintenance not only helps you stay safe but extends the life of your machine. Please follow
these basic guidelines:
Check and retighten screws when required.
Keep away from exposed areas and excessive heat.
Clean the machine with a soft cloth after use.
Switch off the ZAAZ 15K when not in use.
For service, call: Canada: 416 285 6055
Please refer to the back cover of this booklet for further information on your warranty.
The machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The machine is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. This plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
machine is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the machine – if it will not fit the
outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and looks like the
plug illustrate. Make sure that the machine is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used.

EXERCISE GUIDE
HOW AND WHY TO STAND
All you have to do to get benefits from the machine is stand in a comfortable straight position. How-
ever, if you want to strengthen certain muscles, just add a few changes as follows:
Stand tall with your tummy and behind tucked in (pelvic tilt). Keep your muscles firm (contracted) -
you can do this by pretending you are holding a pencil between your bum cheeks! This position will
keep you standing straight with muscles tight. Remember to keep your shoulders back and away from
the ears too. You can gain a significant amount of benefits by just standing in this position.
There are two ways of holding the knees, slightly bent and straight. If you are doing weights or stress
exercises, then the knees should be slightly bent to protect your back muscles. What bent knees
do is cushion or soften the vibration. However, if you want the vibration to go through your body as
strongly as possible, then your knees should be straight.
Just try it for yourself - feel your lower back and shoulders when the knees are bent and compare to
when the knees are locked, and you will be able to judge for yourself. The amplitude of the plate makes
a very gentle stress on the joint.
In this case, for a standing static position, the knees should ideally be straight. This straight knee posi-
tion allows more muscle reactions through out the body. Do this only if it feels right for you. If you
need a break, soften your knees.
If you hold the pencil firmly, you are doing a pelvic tilt. A pelvic tilt activates the three muscles of the
pelvic girdle or pelvic sling or muscles of core stability. Rotating the body while in this position helps
core stability, flexibility and balance.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SPEED
The following speeds are a recommendation only and would depend on your state of health and physi-
cal condition. To enable good balance, your feet should be equally distanced from the center axis with
knees slightly bent.
• LOWER SPEED
Lower speeds are ideal for posture and strength exercises.
• MIDDLE AND HIGHER SPEEDS
Middle speeds are for weight training and stretching.
• HIGHER SPEEDS
Higher speeds are for massage and muscle relaxation.
INTENSITY
To increase the intensity of your workout we suggest you:
1. Extend the time of each position by progressively increasing from 30 to 45 to 60 seconds.
2. Perform exercise dynamically i.e. with movement
3. Increase the speed
4. Incorporate unilateral movement (i.e. perform exercises on one leg, etc.)
5. Increase amplitude by moving your feet further apart
FOR STRENGTH
Start at 30 second s for each position; up to 10 minutes total exercise time per session; 3 times per
week (alternate with day’s rest).
FOR MASSAGE
Essi Start at 30 seconds for each position; up to 10 minutes total excercise time per session; 3-5 times
per week.
(If you are following a program the reccomended duration of exercise may vary).
REST
New users should start off gradually and may need to rest by stepping off the ZAAZ 15K for 30-60 sec-
onds between strength exercises.
PRESET PROGRAMS
These programs are great for exercise and massage. Each speed is designed to change every minute,
as indicated in the table below.
NOTE
These programs run for 10 minutes but we suggest you build up your session time gradually. This is important as your body may need time to
become conditioned to Vibration therapy. Please consult your health care Practitioner before trying any new exercise program.
