10.   Relax, sit back and let the machine do the work.     If a higher 
speed is required, adjust the Speed Switch.    If some active 
exercise is desired refer to the section on the Active Mode.

11. For best results, time should be divided equally between 
forward and reverse motion.   Reverse motion is achieved by 
pressing the F/Off/R Switch.

12. To turn the machine off, press On/Off Switch.  If you do not 
want the Power Light to remain on, turn off the side Mounted 
Black Switch.

13. Motion in other planes is possible using the Rotation Release 
Knob.   Hold the Upper Unit by one of the handles an pull the 
Rotation Release Knob (located on the back of the machine, see 
(fig.#3) outwards about ¼ “.   Rotate the machine and release the 
Knob.     When the 45° position is reached, the knob will click into 
place and lock the Upper Unit in position.

14. If motion in the Vertical Plane is desired, pull the Rotation 
Release Knob out again, rotate the Upper Unit and release the 
Knob so that the machine is locked in a position which will 
provide Vertical motion for the arm.    In this plane

 it is necessary 

to adjust   the height of the machine

 as described in 15.

15.  

Height Adjustment:

 Release the Height Adjustment Knob 

and raise the spring loaded Height Adjustment Bar to the desired 
height.   Tighten the Height Adjustment Knob before use.   

16.   For further information on using the Arm Exerciser, please 
refer to the section on Features of the Arm Exerciser.

NB:

   The Crank Arm is provided with an Inner Hole to allow 

reduced amplitude.   This is useful for people who initially require 
a smaller Range of Motion to overcome Tone/Contactures or 
Spasm before working up to afull amplitude range with their 
exercise program.
