Assembly 9 Assembling the equipment Set-up Remove all of the parts from the packaging and lay them carefully on a level surface. Place a protective cover underneath them in order to avoid damaging any delicate surfaces. Remove the protective padding and plastic packaging. Check that you have all parts and that none have been damaged during transportation. Follow these assembly instructions step-by-step in order to avoid incorrect assembly. Please remove the transportation lock before first use. To do this please remove both of the safety bolts using the wrench provided.

Important: · Ensure that the cable is not bent or trapped by the housing parts. · Only connect the equipment to the main power supply once it is completely assembled. · Protect flooring on which the equipment is to be placed by covering with a mat. · Ensure that the cable is not a trip hazard by securing it. · It is advisable to place Total Vibes in a location where children will not be able to access it. Lay the motor housing next to the lower section, as shown in the diagram. Note: The bore holes in the lower section must point downwards. In order to simplify the next stage in assembly, hold the parts in position on their side. This is shown in the diagram. To this end, push the four threaded rods on the lower section into the four corresponding holes in the base plate. Ensure that the lower section lies flush with the base plate. 10 Assembly Once you have placed the lower section on the motor housing, place the four washers and four nuts on the threaded rods.Turn the nuts to thread them onto the rods. Turn all of the nuts until they are hand tight, using an open-end spanner. Note: Ensure that all of the nuts are tightened using equal pressure, otherwise the lower section may tilt once standing. Settings Switching the equipment on: 1. Plug the power cable into a wall socket with the voltage corresponding to the rating label of the unit. 2.Turn the main switch to ON. You now have a variety of setting options: Now stand the equipment up, as shown in the diagram. Insert the motor housing connector into the corresponding socket in the lower section. Ensure that the connector is fitted correctly into the socket. Turn the cable fixture in a clockwise direction to tighten it.This will ensure that the cable cannot come loose as a result of any vibrations. Take the upper section in your hand and insert the motor housing connector into the corresponding socket in the lower section, as described above. 1 ON/OFF switch 2 Start/Stop 3 Time 4 Intensity 5 Program Training 15 14 Training Warming up: Warming up is an essential part of every sporting activity and should always be included as part of your exercise program.

Assembly 11 Push the two sections together until they slot fully into place. Ensure that the sides with the bore holes face to the rear. Also make sure that the cable is not trapped when you push the two sections together. Push the four hexagon socket screws, with the four serrated lock washers into the corresponding bore holes in the lower section, directly beneath the upper section. Turn the screws using a hexagon headed screwdriver, until they are hand tight. Attaching the hand straps The hand straps enclosed are specifically intended for use and support when engaged in training exercises for arms and shoulders, neck and chest muscles. In order to attach the hand straps please follow these instructions: First, take the strap end with the Velcro fastening and pull this through one of the eyelets located on the right hand side of the vibration plate.Take the other hand strap and thread this through an eyelet on the left hand side. Bring both parts of the Velcro together and press on them firmly to close the fastening.

Training 13 Loads: The body, and in particular the heart and circulatory system, require sufficient time to adjust to the changes that take place as a result of physical training. For this reason it is very important that the loads placed on the body are increased at a slow rate and that sufficient breaks are incorporated into the regime, both during training and afterwards. Begin initial training at a rate that does not require you to overexert yourself. Ensure that you begin exercising at a pace that you find comfortable. Once you have been training regularly for some time you will be able to slowly increase the duration of your exercise as well as raising the difficulty level at which the equipment is set. Important: You should not start or end your training abruptly.You should always warm up at a slow tempo and with reduced effort before starting the actual training exercises. After you have finished training, take a few minutes to cool down. Following this, you should also carry out a few stretching exercises. Tips for successful and healthy training: · Do not forget that training on exercise equipment can be of great benefit to your health, as long as you pay attention to a few rules. It is not just about carrying out a few quick exercises, but about training regularly and on a long-term basis. · Always wear clothing suitable for training (e.g. a tracksuit). It is important that the clothing is both comfortable and well ventilated. · Never train on a full stomach. Avoid eating for one hour to two hours before training. · Do not train if you are already feeling tired. · Always remember that your body requires additional fluids when you are involved in any sports activity.
