Introduction

Power Plate® my7 model is a consumer and commercial product that may be used by
almost everyone for fitness and exercise purposes. Power Plate my7 allows you to adjust
training to your own level and reduce the burden on your joints, tendons and ligaments. As
with every form of training, the correct use of exercises, adjusted to your personal abilities,
will determine the benefits and effects of completing a training session on Power Plate,
while at the same time, reduce the risk of injury to the body.

We recommend consulting your physician before beginning any new exercise program. For
your safety, please review the product instructions before operating Power Plate. If at any
time you feel faint, dizzy, nauseous, short of breath or in pain, stop exercising immediately
and consult with your physician.

Body posture, muscle stiffness and muscle tension are important contributing factors in
your training session. If muscles are tensed, or contracted, they will absorb vibrations to help
strengthen and tone those muscles. Passive or active exercises, such as stretching and mas-
sage, can be performed on a more frequent basis.

Exercise should be performed on a regular basis, starting with low intensity, which means
low frequency and amplitude settings for short sessions. The body should be gently stimu-
lated in a way that will allow you to adjust to vibration training, but will not overload your
body. Over time, the intensity and duration can be increased in the same manner as other
progressive training programs. Once the body has adapted to vibration, training can be
changed or intensified to keep improving performance.

c. How Do I Clean the Touchscreen
i. Turn touchscreen off. Use a piece of dry, lint free soft cloth. First wipe down monitor to remove
dust. Please use deionized or distilled water or iso-propyl alcohol – Don’t use tap water or mineral water as they
may leave white marks on the screen due to the dissolved salts. Spray this liquid on the cloth. Never spray liquid
directly onto the touchscreen. Moisten the cloth with the cleaner and gently move the wet cloth in just one
direction – from top to bottom. Completely dry the touchscreen with a second cloth. Do not use any solutions
that contain Acetone, ethyl alcohol, toluene, ethyl acid, ammonia, or methyl chloride.
d. To avoid damaging the touchscreen, do not use excessive force when cleaning. The touchscreen is not a
rigid hard surface and can be damaged if too much pressure is applied.

 Maintenance

WARNING: THE MACHINE

!
CONTAINS NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS. PLEASE CONTACT AN AUTHORIZED POWER PLATE® SERVICE
PROFESSIONAL FOR ANY MAINTENANCE OR TROUBLESHOOTING NOT
OTHERWISE DESCRIBED BELOW,
OR DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE COULD RESULT.
OR PERSONAL INJURY

CAUTION: Any changes, modifications or unauthorized maintenance performed to or on the machine could
void the product warranty.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.

• Always unplug the machine and then wait for at least one minute before performing any maintenance.
!
• Clean the machine only with a moist cloth. Do not use sharp objects, bristles, scrubs or acid-based deter-
gents, which will damage the lacquer finish.
• Do not spray any cleaning solution directly onto the machine. Instead, moisten a cloth, then apply to the
machine where needed.
• On plastic components, use only polishes specifically designed for
plastic.
• On the rubber handles and cushion mat, only use mild cleaners that are safe for all surfaces.
• To clean the grip tape surface of the platform use a soft bristle brush.
• To clean the body (painted areas) of the machine, only use automotive cleaners & polishes that are
designed to be use on the painted surfaces of an automobile. If you have a deep scuff or paint transfer
on the body you can use automotive rubbing compound to buff out the blemish.
• To clean the touchscreen only use cleaners that are approved for use on computer monitors and TV
screens.
• Clean any electrical components with a dry cloth only, in order to avoid the risk of shock or damage to
the components.
• Inspect the retractable cables for frays and contact the Power Plate Service Department if you have
damage.
Troubleshooting
Always unplug the machine and then wait for at least one minute before performing any troubleshooting.
• If the machine is not operational and the console display is not illuminated, check the power connec-
tions to the machine. If the power cord is just slightly unplugged it could cause this problem. Disconnect
and reconnect the power cord from both the wall and the machine.
• If the power connections are okay, please check the circuit breaker connected to the electrical outlet in
order to confirm that the outlet is receiving electrical power.
• Confirm that power is turned off to your unit before attempting the next troubleshooting step. If the ma-
chine still has no power after confirming the electrical outlet is operational, try checking the fuse. There
is a small fuse compartment located on the power inlet. The fuse compartment is situated between the
power switch and the power cord on the power inlet. Once the fuse compartment has been removed
you will see two fuses. Switch the positions of the two fuses, reinstall the fuse compartment and test
your unit.

• If the machine makes a rattling noise,

unplug the machine, wait at least one

(waving) try calibrating the motors.
To do this, run your machine in

DANGER: Do not try to resolve any

electrical issues regarding the power
