Stepping On and Maintaining Balance
Your instructor should stand in front of the PTR and hold the Operation Bar securely with both hands.
1. Hold onto the operation bar with both hands, and look straight ahead.
2. Place one of your feet on the foot mat.
3. Slowly transfer your weight to your foot on the mat, and step up onto the other mat (similar to walking up stairs).
4. Do not move the operation bar while stepping on the PTR. Stay calm and relaxed, and keep looking forward. The PTR will bal-
lance for you, and may move slightly forward and backward. Try not to lean forward or backward, but keep your balance and
weight centered. If you keep the steering base/foot mats level, you will not travel forward or back, but remain stationary.
NOTICE
The more relaxed you are, the easier you can maintain balance. If you feel unstable, step off the PTR, one foot at a time, and pause
before stepping back on. Your instructor should continue holding the Operation Bar firmly the entire time, and be prepared to keep the
PTR from moving as you step on or off.
