It takes 14 hours for the device to be completely charged! Disconnect the power supply. TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS When the GMG-200 is not is use, change it once a month for at least 10 - 12 hours. Disconnect the power supply when charging is completed! TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The device has deep discharge protection. -
Page 17: Changing Slider Plate
PREPARING FOR OPERATION Changing Slider Plate Turn over the GMG-200 and rest it on the handles. Use an Allen screwdriver (3.0) to release the screws. Detach the slider plate from the floor plate. Place the desired slider plate on the floor plate. - Page 18 PREPARING FOR OPERATION Turn over the GMG-200 and rest it on the handles. Detach the slider plate. (–› Chap. 5.2, Attaching Slider Plate) Clamp the slider plate in a vise. Detach the glued sliders from the slider bases. Remove adhesive residue from the slider bases.

Page 19: Operation
OPERATION Operation TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Before beginning operation of the GMG-200: −Check the battery charge and recharge if necessary. −Verify that the surface of the attached sliders complies with the stan- dard specification. −Clean the sliders with the proper sanding block. - Page 20 When the device starts up, force (0 - 100 N, depending on the sliding friction) is applied to the foot plate via the strap. This is why it is essential to weight down and secure the foot plate with body weight! 310-2310-001 EN20 GMG-200...
