PRECAUTIONS There are a few things you should do before using your PERFORMANCE exercise machine: INSTRUCTION MANUAL: Familiarise yourself with this manual and look it over carefully. Be sure you understand the control panel operation and the safe exercise positions before using the PERFORMANCE. This manual includes basic information on starting an exercise program, and safety tips that will assist you in reaching your goals for a healthy lifestyle. If you suffer from any of the conditions that are not suitable for use on the PERFORMANCE please confirm with your doctor before using the machine. Neither Hypervibe nor its representatives can accept responsibility for any damage or injury incurred as a result from information presented in the manual except under the terms of the product warranty. ELECTRICAL The PERFORMANCE should always be turned off at the wall outlet when not in use. The PERFORMANCE should be always stored and used in a dry area, away from moisture, fumes and flammable substances. The PERFORMANCE should only be used for intended purposes as outlined in this manual. Do not attempt to repair or modify any of the electrical parts or components of the PERFORMANCE. Only a Hypervibe authorised technician should do so, unauthorised work will void warranty. Do not use the PERFORMANCE during lightning or electrical storms. Always turn the rear base unit power switch off before disconnecting at the wall outlet. Do not use the machine if the electrical cord or machine shows signs of damage. MECHANICAL Keep fingers clear of the PERFORMANCE moving platform at all times. Never leave children unattended around the machine. The PERFORMANCE platform moves with great speed and force, and could trap the feet or hands of children. Select a firm, flat floor area to use your machine, the best surface would be a concrete slab floor. Be aware that the machine is designed to cause vibration, and therefore will transmit some vibration into the surface it is used on. Hypervibe will not be responsible for cosmetic and structural building damage caused by the vibrations from the PERFORMANCE. Ensure you place the machine on a surface that will be unaffected by the vibration of the machine. To help absorb some of these vibrations, place the machine onto a foam or rubber mat.

INTRODUCTION The PERFORMANCE vibration machine has been developed here in Australia by a team of health and technical professionals. This model is suitable for home through to light commercial use, and has been designed for adults of all ages and all levels of fitness and abilities. This machine should be used similarly to other gym equipment, in the sense that everyone has their own preferences and capabilities and should become aware of them. When training, we recommend you use the PERFORMANCE for no longer than 10 minutes a day and no more than 3-4 times a week, a 10 minute session gives you maximum results. We suggest you choose a program that is best suited to the goals you wish to achieve, and start using the machine gradually. Hold each position for a maximum of 30 seconds and increase the duration if you feel comfortable doing so, this will allow your body to explore its limitations. Please watch the instructional DVD before using the PERFORMANCE. In today's age of fast food, automation, and convenience, as a society we are becoming increasingly inactive and overweight. The team at Hypervibe, are working to promote a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise and movement. The PERFORMANCE uses Whole Body Vibration Technology, and is designed for people who want to make exercise a part of their lifestyle, but may be limited by their time, equipment or ability to do so using conventional exercise. Others may want use the machine to compliment their regular exercise routine, and/or to accelerate and maximize results. When we train in the gym using conventional training, we do this by contracting our muscles and relaxing them over and over again with some sort of load for resistance. That load can be created with weights, hydraulic machines or by simply using your own body weight to create a load e.g. push up's. When using the PERFORMANCE platform you can induce muscle contractions up to 27 times per second. This is why a full workout on a vibration platform can be achieved in a very short period of time, and also why you should not exceed the recommended workout durations. Of course, the PERFORMANCE is not only designed for working out, but also has numerous therapeutic uses also. At low speeds, the gentle rocking action of the platform improves your balance, and is great for the elderly and injury rehabilitation. Likewise, speeds slightly higher, can be excellent for massage, circulation and recovery. At these lower therapeutic speeds, the machine can be used more often than the recommended 10 minutes per session, 3-4 times per week. Because of the numerous applications and benefits of the PERFORMANCE, it makes an invaluable addition to your home gym, studio or practice, which cannot be matched by conventional training apparatus.

HISTORY, BENEFITS & APPLICATIONS Whole body vibration was developed by the Russian space program to meet the exercise needs of their Cosmonauts. The Cosmonauts were experiencing a zero gravity environment in space and their muscles and bone deteriorated when they were used much less. Researchers found that Whole Body Vibration technology, exerted forces on the cosmonauts many times that of gravity, and was used to rehabilitate their muscle and bone density. Medical scientists and researchers then began to explore other successful applications of whole body vibration technology. Whole Body Vibration machines began to appear in hospitals and various medical clinics. Clinical studies revealed shorter recovery times for joint and muscle injuries, and other studies found whole body vibration improved flexibility and stability. Whole Body Vibration has also expanded into the fitness industry. Athletes training with whole body vibration have documented an increase in strength, balance, speed, and endurance, and experienced swifter recovery from fatigue. Today there is both scientific and anecdotal evidence that vibration exercise can… Improve muscle strength and power Increase joint motion Increase muscle tone & muscle mass Increase flexibility & co-ordination Improve circulation (exercise increases blood flow) Strengthen pelvic floor muscles and improve pelvic floor function Improve balance & decrease risk of falling Improve core stability Accelerate weight loss (in conjunction with a healthy diet and lifestyle) Increase tendon strength Improved bone density (via muscle pulling on bone) Increased jump height ability

LCD DISPLAY & COMPUTER PROGRAM Always consult a physician before beginning this or any exercise program. The PERFORMANCE uses a sophisticated computer program designed here in Australia. The LCD display monitors the status of the machine and gives you live time and speed values. The control panel also features an audible warning alarm to warn you during program mode that the machine is about to run or pause. Below we explain each reading on the display….. TIME – When the TIME reading is showing, this means the digits displayed are in reference to time in minutes and/or seconds. SPEED – When the SPEED reading is showing this means the digits displayed are in reference to the speed in Hz. HYPERVIBE – The HYPERVIBE reading will always be displayed when the power is on. It will be the only thing displayed when the machine is in standby mode. RUN – When the RUN reading is showing, this means the motor is running and the platform is moving. When selecting a run time during program mode, RUN will also be displayed. PAUSE - When the PAUSE reading is showing, this means the motor is off and the platform is not moving. When selecting a pause time during program mode, PAUSE will also be displayed. MAN – When the MAN reading is showing this means the machine is in manual mode. When in manual mode a user can select to run the machine at any selected time up to 10 minutes. The machine speed will start at 6Hz and can be adjusted from 6 to 28Hz and after the machine is running. BALANCE – When the BALANCE reading is showing this means the machine is in balance program mode. Research suggests that low speeds of around 6Hz are best suited for balance and stability improvement. The destabilizing nature of the platform at these frequencies causes voluntary muscle contractions to react to this action. RECOVERY – When the RECOVERY reading is showing, this means the machine is in recovery program mode. Research suggests that moderate speeds of around 11Hz are best suited for therapy purposes. At these frequencies the platform begins to cause involuntary muscle contractions, the gentle vibration is good for therapy purposes but not strong enough for training. TRAIN – When the TRAIN reading is showing, this means the machine is in train program mode. Research suggests that higher speeds of around 19Hz start to produce training effects and have
9
some therapy purposes. At these frequencies the G forces produced by the platform become strong enough for strength training TONE – When the TONE reading is showing, this means the machine is in tone program mode. Research suggests that highest speeds of around 26Hz provide numerous training and therapy benefits. At these frequencies the platform will produce the largest range of Whole Body Vibration benefits. The PERFORMANCE computer program is what sets this machine apart from others. Each program requires pre-selection to your preferences and will start and stop “circuit style”. It is designed to target your goals, whilst giving safe and effective use. After you select a specific program, you then tailor the program to suit your needs and ability. Hypervibe believes in safe and effective workouts, so our program allows you to select a RUN time, and then also a PAUSE time. When getting into posture position, or getting off a vibration machine, for safety reasons, it is not recommended that the machine be running. Our programs take this into account by stopping the machine and pausing between postures. Both the RUN time and PAUSE time are selected by you, and along with a countdown display on the LCD screen, an audible warning beep will sound 5 times before the machine goes into RUN or PAUSE mode. This allows you to be prepared for the machine starting, being in the correct posture, it also prepares you for the machine to stop and lets you know you only have to hold for a few more seconds. Another reason for the PAUSE time, is that we recommend a short recovery period between postures, just as you would have a short recovery period between sets of weights at the gym. These times can be as long or as short as you set them to be. The RUN and PAUSE time that can be selected for the four programs are as follows…. RUN · 30 seconds X 10 sets · 60 seconds X 10 sets · 120 seconds X 5 sets PAUSE Choose 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minute or 3 minute pause times. It is important to note, you may not wish to run each program full a full amount of sets. Sometimes the full amount of sets is not required or is too much. If this is the case simply hit the OFF key when finished. Exercise positions are provided with your machine, showing positions best suited for each program. Some exercises can be used on a number of programs. It is important that you do not exert yourself, if you find some postures too difficult at the program speed, either try them in a different program, or try them in manual mode in a speed you are comfortable with.

USING YOUR MACHINE SAFELY & EFFECTIVELY The key to success when using the PERFORMANCE is using correct and safe postures, which are frequency specific to your needs. It is important to read this manual and understand the effects of whole body vibration before attempting to use this machine, as incorrect posture can modify its effectiveness and cause injury. We have developed a range of postures which allows you to train and tone muscles, develop balance and core stability, aid in the rehabilitation of injuries and improve circulation and relaxation. The PERFORMANCE has a pivotal platform, which means the platform tilts from side to side from a central axis. When standing on the platform your feet must always be at equal distance from the central axis. When using a vibration platform the variable settings are the speed (frequency) and the amplitude. Amplitude refers to the distance your feet are travelling up and down on the platform. You can increase the amplitude by simply moving your feet further away from the center axis, and therefore increasing the force and difficulty of the posture. We recommend you use a mat when lying on the floor in front for your comfort and protection. You may want to use a towel to cushion your body when sitting on the platform or placing your hands or elbows on the platform. Some exercises demonstrated in the manual incorporate weight bands, these do not come with the machine. You may want to incorporate hand weights or use a weight vest to maximize your workout. Always consult your doctor before starting a new exercise program. The PERFORMANCE platform should always be stationary when getting on and off the platform. Do not attempt to change position when the platform is moving. Remember to read the exercise guide before each session and check each position before beginning. Recheck your posture once on the platform and if you feel your muscles fatigue or you move out of the posture stop the machine and get off. It is important you hold each posture correctly as incorrect posture can cause harm and injury. Switching on your core muscles, by sucking your belly button in towards your spine, will increase core stability and help maintain your posture. We recommend you use the PERFORMANCE for a maximum of 10 minutes a session and 3-4 times a week. Try to incorporate a ten minute workout on the PERFORMANCE into your weekly exercise schedule to help maximize your fitness levels. At lower therapy frequencies the 10 minute limitations do not apply and therapy could be used more often and for longer periods. Before training you should select a series of exercise positions and plan to hold each position for as little as 30 seconds or up to 3 minutes. Keep your total time on the platform under 10 minutes but allow additional time for breaks between positions.

Whole Body Vibration is Frequency Specific When using a pivotal whole body vibration platform the safe frequencies recommended for the human body range from 0-30 Hz. There are two variables which can be adjusted on a Whole Body Vibration platform, the amplitude (the distance the platform travels in a vertical direction), and also the frequency (the speed at which the platform cycles). By adjusting either of these two variables we also change things such as, the number of times per second our muscles contract, the amount G force exerted on our body, the degree of difficulty in stabilizing and the flow of blood through our body. Research and common sense tell us that different frequencies will have different effects on our body. Depending on what effects you are hoping to benefit from, will determine what frequency you should run your machine.

Amplitude Guide Located in front of your feet/hands whilst on the platform on your HyperVibe machine, is an amplitude foot/hand placement guide. Throughout our instructions, we provide recommended positions for your hands or feet when performing various exercises. For example, the lower back position works best with a nice wide foot placement, so we recommend you place your feet at position 4. For other exercises, we recommend a minimum amplitude position and a greater amplitude position can be selected as per a user’s level of ability. HyperVibe machines have 4 amplitude positions, the approximate vertical displacement for each position is shown below.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

PROBLEM
SOLUTION
There is no power to the LCD display.
Check the connection to the wall outlet. Turn the power off and then back on again at the base unit. Check both the base unit wire connector, and the control panel wire connector.
The machine won’t turn off.
The control panel LCD will always be illuminated when the power is on. If the motor will not stop, turn the power off and then back on again at the base unit.
The machine is loud and rocks around on the floor.
Ensure the machine is on a firm stable surface.
The platform won’t move and I can hear the motor running, or there is a squealing sound.
The internal fan belt may require adjustment, please contact Hypervibe.
The post is quite loose, especially at higher speeds.
Some movement in the post is normal. It can become loose over time, and the bolts which attach the post to the base may require tightening.
