LET’S GET STARTED

Unpack and Prepare Your Workspace

• If possible, assemble the equipment at or near the space in which you intend to use it to avoid moving it later .
• Unpack all parts and support materials . Set aside packing materials and clear your work area .
• Locate the Hardware Kits packaged with the manuals . They are labeled to correspond with the assembly process .

STEP 1 PLATFORM SUPPORT ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Always hand tighten all hardware in each step before fully tightening with the wrench or screwdriver . The Front, Back, Right and Left of the equipment is labeled in the drawing

• Figure 1: For easier access to the screw holes, flip the Platform Adjustment Bar so the numbers are facing down and Platform Support Frame so the rubber feet are facing up . Proceed to align the Platform Adjustment Bar to the Platform Support Frame .
• Figure 2a & 2b: Use the Step 1 Hardware Kit to attach the Platform Adjustment Bar to the Platform Support Frame . Hand tighten 3 × Bolts on the Platform Joint . Proceed to fully tighten the bolts with the Allen Wrench provided

STEP 2 PLATFORM ASSEMBLY

• Figure 3: Locate the Right and Left Platforms . Proceed to align one side of the Platform to the Platform Support Frame as shown .
• Figure 4: Use the Step 2 Hardware Kit to attach one side of the Platform to the Platform Support Frame . Hand tighten 4 × Screws through the Platform and into the Platform Support Frame .
• Figure 5: Proceed to align the other side of the Platform to the Platform Support Frame
• Figure 6: Attach the other side of the Platform to the Platform Support Frame by hand tightening the remaining 4 × Screws from the Step 2 Hardware Kit .
  Proceed to fully tighten all 8 × Screws with the screwdriver provided

STEP 3 SUPPORT HANDLE & MEDIA RACK ASSEMBLY

• Figure 7: Turn the Support Handle Adjustment Knob counter‑clockwise to loosen the Support Handle .

• Figure 8: Raise the Support Handle until it reaches the upright position at a slight angle as shown (in proper position, the Support Handle is not fully perpendicular to the FitForm Platform) . To secure the Support Handle, turn the Support Handle Adjustment Knob clockwiseuntil the knob feels tight . Attempt to rock the Support Handle back and forth while turning  the Support Handle Knob clockwise until the knob is fully tightened into a hole setting and the Support Handle no longer can be moved .
  IMPORTANT : Always ensure the Support Handle is fully secured with the Handle Support Knob before you begin each exercise . The Handle Support should not move when the Handle Support Knob is properly secured into a hole setting .

• Figure 9: Position the Media Rack so that the Teeter logo is facing up and the screw holes in the Media Rack align with the holes in the Support Handle . Use the Step 3 Hardware Kit to secure the Media Rack with 2 × Screws and fully tighten with the screwdriver provided

STEP 4 ATTACH PLATFORM ASSEMBLY

• Figure 10: Insert the Platform Adjustment Knob into the hole in the Main Body, and partially tighten it by turning it clockwise .
• Figure 11: Pull up on the Platform Adjustment Knob and continue to hold it with one hand while sliding the Platform Adjustment Bar into the Main Body . Release the Platform Adjustment Knob into Setting 1 and ensure that it is engaged into the hole setting . Refer to page 10 for more Platform Length setting information in the User Guide .

ALTERNATIVE ASSEMBLY METHOD:
Avoid floor friction – follow the method above but first lay the Main Body on its front so the Support Handle/Media Rack are resting on the ground, then lower the Platform Adjustment Bar into the Main Body

• Figure 12: Tighten the Platform Adjustment Knob by turning it clockwise .
  NOTE: This knob features a spring‑loaded pin lock to engage in the hole setting AND threads to tighten the connection, reducing any movement between parts . To adjust, loosen by turning the knob first, then pull and release the pin on your setting, then tighten again

• Figure 13: Make sure your FitForm is on a flat, stable surface . Locate the 3 × Leveling Feet . If any of the feet are not resting flat on the ground, rotate them counter‑clockwise to lower them until they reach the ground

ACCESSORIES

ATTACHMENT

• Figure 14a and 14b: Depending on the exercise, connect either the Handle or Ankle Attachments to the Cable Clips . The Ankle Attachments easily wrap and secure around the ankles with hook and loop straps .
• Figure 15: Rest the Cables in the Handle Holder Slots in the Media Rack in ‘Ready Position .’ Ensure the Cables are fully engaged in the Handle Holder Slots before releasing the Handles .

WARNING

• DO NOT leave the Handles in the Ready Position while not in use to avoid unintentional cable retraction which can cause damage to the machine or injury to the user or bystanders .
• ALWAYS use caution when placing and removing the Handles from the Ready Position while using a device on the Media Rack to avoid damage to the device .
• ALWAYS keep children, bystanders, and pets away from machine .

STORAGE

• Figure 16a: When not in use, hang the metal clips of the Handle Attachments onto the hooks of the Media Rack .
• Figure 16b: When not in use, loop the Ankle Attachments around the lower base of the Support Handle .

ADJUST SETTINGS

RESISTANCE

• Figure 17: Turn the Resistance Dial clockwise to increase resistance and counter‑clockwise to reduce resistance . The numbers on the Resistance Display do not correlate to weight in pounds . The dial displays resistance levels ranging from 1‑24 The higher the number, the more resistance is applied to the cable. The maximum resistance is approximately 65 lb .
  NOTE : Due to the nature of the resistance mechanism, each turn of the Resistance Dial creates a non linear increase in the resistance felt by the user . This means that one turn of the Resistance Dial at Level 1 will increase the resistance less than one turn of the Resistance Dial at Level 24 . This also means that the dial will require more force to turn as the settings increase

WARNING

• ALWAYS test the resistance level at the lowest setting first . Slowly increase resistance as you feel safe and comfortable to do so without pain

PLATFORM LENGTH

• Figure 18: The Platform can be adjusted to three positions . Setting 1 is the standard setting for most exercises and users . Increase the length of the platform to center your weight on the platform for taller users, or when performing exercises that require more distance from the Support Handle . Refer to the Assembly Instructions on page 8 for details on how to adjust the Platform length

WARNING

• ALWAYS test your balance before performing an exercise after adjusting the Platform length .
• ALWAYS use this machine with at least one foot or body part on the platform to prevent instability of the machine or physical injury

STORAGE

STORAGE POSITION

• Figure 19a: Ensure the Cables are disengaged from the Ready Position . Turn the Support Handle Adjustment Knob counter‑clockwise to release the Support Handle . Lower the Support Handle until it reaches the downward position .
• Figure 19b: Turn the Support Handle Adjustment Knob clockwise until the knob is fully engaged and the Support Handle is secure
• Figure 19c: Rotate the FitForm to the Storage Position by pulling up on the Platform until the front of the Main Body is resting flat on the ground . The Storage Position provides a smaller footprint and prevents tripping or entanglement while not in use

CABLE FUNCTIONALITY

• HOW THE CABLE RESISTANCE WORKS
  Figure 20: Both Cables are controlled by the Resistance Dial, therefore the weight is distributed between both cables . When pulling one Cable at a time, all the weight will be applied to one cable, but when both Cables are pulled at the same time, the weight will be divided between both Cables

• HOW TO ENSURE AN EVEN LOAD
  Figure 21: To ensure an even load on both Cables, start each exercise with both hands at the same position and start the pull at the same time . Because the weight is divided between both Cables, if more force is applied to one Cable than the other while pulling both Cables at the same time, the load will be uneven

• STRENGTHENING A MUSCULAR IMBALANCE
  Figure 22: If you are aware of a noticeable difference in strength between one side of the body, sometimes caused by a prior injury or overuse, it is best to alternate using only one Cable at a time until you build up strength evenly

GETTING STARTED
The following exercises are just a few examples of how you can use your FitForm . For access to more trainer‑led programs, download the Teeter Move app, or visit the Video Portal at teeter .com/videos .
IMPORTANT: For exercises pulling both cables at the same time, be sure to start both hands at the same position and pull at the same time to ensure an even load .

• BICEP CURL
  Figure 23a: Stand with one or both feet on the center of the platform and grip the Handle Attachments in each hand at your sides with an underhand grip .
  Figure 23b: Pull the handles toward your shoulders and squeeze your biceps . Release and repeat the motion

• SHOULDER PRESS
  Figure 24a: Stand with both feet on the center of the platform . Grip the Handle Attachments in each hand in an overhand grip just above shoulder‑level .
  Figure 24b: Press up with the handles to straighten your arms over head . Release and repeat the motion

• STRAIGHT LEG KICKBACK
  Figure 25a: With the Ankle Attachments on each ankle, stand with one foot in the center of the platform and float one foot forward while holding onto the Support Handle with both hands .
  Figure 25b: Keeping your leg straight, lift the heel of your floating foot back as high as comfortable and squeeze your glute . Keep your spine neutral and your hips parallel to the ground . Release and repeat the motion . Repeat on the other leg
