Safe & Effective Use
If you are not excluded from using the machine due to a health
condition, the G17 Pro can be used by almost everyone. Howev-
er, the key to success when using the G17 Pro is safe and eec-
tive use. There are three main variables that will determine safe
and eective use:
1. Intensity (G-Force)
2. Time
3. Exercise
Intensity (G-Force)
The G17 Pro can be adjusted through a wide range of intensity
levels, from very low intensity (low frequency with low amplitude)
to very high (high frequency with high amplitude). Intensity levels
should be chosen appropriately based on personal ability and lev-
el of conditioning.
The G17 Pro has a frequency range from 5 to 35Hz, and three
amplitude positions, L (Low), M (Medium), & H (High). Frequency
refers to the speed of the platform and can be adjusted at the
control panel in manual mode. Amplitude refers to the distance
the platform travels up and down, and can be adjusted by moving
your feet/hands between the L, M & H amplitude contact posi-
tions on the platform (See Fig. X) .
The combined frequency and amplitude settings determine the
intensity level, and the G17 Pro displays the intensity levels at the
top of the screen via the G Force panel.
As a general rule beginners should stay below 4g’s, and advanced
users only above 8g’s.
