Important Safety Instructions

Before using the Power Plate

machine,

it is essential that you read the entire user

manual, including all warnings and safety

instructions. You should also convey

all such warnings and instructions to

any other person using the Power Plate

machine. Retain this user manual for

future reference.

! Health Warning

Before beginning any exercise program,

you should consult a physician for a

physical examination and clearance to

engage in the program, or personal injury

could result.

If you have any known medical condition,

or any physical limitation on your

ability to exercise, Power Plate strongly

recommends that you seek the advice

of a physician before using the Power

Plate machine, in order to avoid possible

personal injury.

If while using the Power Plate machine,

you experience any dizziness, faintness,

shortness of breath or pain, you must

stop using the machine immediately

and consult a physician. Failure to do so

could result in personal injury.

The Power Plate machine is a medical

device and is designed for therapeutic

purposes within speciﬁc medical

indications and supervision integrated

into an closely monitored exercise

program only and as part of an exercise

program.

Always follow the directions on the

machine’s console for proper operation.

Close supervision is required when the

machine is used by or near, children or

disabled persons.

Always take care when getting on and

off the machine. Use the handles on the

machine as needed, to maintain stability

when getting on and off the machine.

Never reach into or under the machine,

or tip the machine on its side, while it is in

operation.

Use the machine only for the purposes

described in this user manual and only

with attachments or accessories that

come with the machine or which Power

Plate has speciﬁcally approved for use

with the machine, or personal injury could

result.

Setup and Handling

! Danger: To reduce the risk of electrical

shock, always unplug the Power Plate

machine before cleaning or servicing it.

! Warning: To reduce the risk of electrical

shock, ﬁre, burns or other injury, always

plug the Power Plate machine into a

properly-grounded electrical outlet.

! Warning: To ensure safe use of the

Power Plate machine, it must be regularly

examined for damage and wear. The

machine, however, contains no user-

serviceable parts. Thus, with the

exception of the maintenance tasks

described later in this manual, the owner/

user should always retain an authorized

Power Plate service professional to

perform maintenance and/or service on

the machine.

The machine should be set up on a

hard, level surface in an area free of

obstructions within at least three feet

of the vibration platform.

The machine should not be used

outdoors, near a pool, or near any source

of water or extreme humidity. Contact

with water could cause a

short-circuit, which could cause personal

injury or damage the machine.

Unplug the machine when not in use.

Never attempt to lift or move the machine

without assistance.

Never operate the machine if it has been

dropped, tipped over, damaged, or even

partially immersed in water, unless

an authorized Power Plate service

professional has examined the machine

and cleared it for use.

Never insert objects into any opening

on the machine. If an object falls into

the machine, shut the machine off

and remove the power plug before

attempting to retrieve the object.

If the object cannot be reached,

contact an authorized Power Plate

service professional.

Hydration

Power Plate recommends that the user

stay well hydrated by drinking at least

300 ml (16 ounces) of water before,

during and after each exercise session.

Clothing and Padding

During exercises in which the user

stands on the vibration platform, the

user should wear rubber-soled shoes

or if the user chooses to exercise in

socks or bare feet, the user should use

one of the three contoured mats that

are provided with the machine.

During exercises in which any part

of the user’s body is in contact with

the vibration platform, Power Plate

recommends the use of at least one

contoured mat.

Position and Balance

In order to avoid possible injury from

the machine’s vibrations, Power Plate

recommends that the user not lean back

on his/her heels or “lock” his/her joints

or straighten his/her legs when standing

upright on the machine.

It is important at all times to maintain

balance while on the machine.

The user, however, should not “hang”

on the machine’s handles in order to

maintain balance but should (unless the

directions for a particular exercise state

otherwise) keep his/her knees directly

above the toes.

Proper position and balance are

especially important if the user employs

weights during any exercise on the

machine. Power Plate strongly

recommends that users not employ

weights while using the machine,

unless they are being coached by an

exercise professional or unless the user

has extensive experience with weight

training or with the Power Plate machine.

The three illustrations on the right

demonstrate the incorrect ways to stand

on the machine.

The illustration below demonstrates the

correct way to stand on the machine.

Incorrect

You always need to be

balanced when

standing on the Power

Plate machine. Never

hang on to the handles,

use them only to

maintain balance

Don’t lean on your

heels too much.

predominantly on the

front of your feet.

Incorrect

When training with the

Power Plate machine,

do not “lock” any joints,

such as your knees and

elbows, but keep them

slightly bent.
