INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Before operating your Lean Machine ensure that all the controls are set to the OFF/ON
position.
2.
Insert the leads into the pads.
3.
Insert jack plugs into the Lean Machine unit.
4.
Check that the battery has been connected.
5.
Place the elastic straps on the areas to be treated.
6.
Dampen the black surface of the pads thoroughly to ensure the contact is sufficient. DO
NOT IMMERS IN WATER.
7.
Slip the pads under the straps in the area to be treated.
8.
Switch the machine to lowest setting and the monitor light will come on.
9.
Gradually turn the dials up as you become used to the sensations until you are able to see
and feel a muscular contraction. Settings may vary depending on the sensitivity of the
area being treated.
10.
When you are able to feel arrhythmic muscle movement relax, and put your timer clock
on for 30-40 minutes. N.B. If you feel an unpleasant tinglin under any of the pads, they
may be too dry or placed incorrectly. If in doubt switch OFF your unit and start from the
beginning.
11.
At the end of treatment switch OFF/ON your Lean Machine.
IMPORTANT: SOFT START FACILITY
Your Lean Machine is fitted wit a 'Soft Start', it will not operate unless all the output controls
are clicked to 0 before you switch the machine on as shown by a constant red light. When the
output controls are set to 0, switch to the ON position. The pulse monitor will now show a
green light at intermittent intervals, according to the pulse length setting.
TREATMENT
As you become accustomed to your machine, adjust the controls to provide maximum comfort
and efficiency. Turn the output controls on, then gradually advance them until you feel an in-
termittent tingling sensation (these settings will vary with different people and different muscle
groups). Slowly advance the output control settings a little at a time until you feel a rhythmic
muscle movement. At approximately 5 minute intervals, you can slightly increase the settings,
thus increasing the strength of the impulse to maintain a strong but comfortable contraction.
These settings will vary from person to person and you do not need to go beyond the setting
that is comfortable for you. You should feel a regular contracting and relaxing of the muscles
being exercised. Do not be alarmed by the sensation of the involuntary contractions. Most peo-
ple find this movement strange at first but you will soon become used to it.
A correct contraction occurs when the initial tingling sensation lessens and a good movement
of the muscle is seen and felt. If a proper contraction is not experienced, or a pair of pads are
not working properly (i.e. feeling uncomfortable or the muscles beneath are not contracting)
turn the machine off by setting all of the controls to the OFF/O position. Then, making sure the
skin underneath is free from grease, reposition the pads slightly, then gradually turn up the
controls.
