GETTING ON AND OFF THE Ab Coaster
®
PS500
EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS
How It Works:
The Ab Coaster® PS500 is designed to help you exercise your abdominal muscles via a leg lift motion. Unlike the popular sit-up
or ab crunch exercise, which works your abdominals from the “top down”, the Ab Coaster® PS500 moves in the opposite direction, working
your abs from the “bottom up.” The basic motion requires you to lift your knees and legs while contracting your abs.
The Ab Coaster® PS500 features a Seat moving along a curved track to aid you in performing the abdominal lifting motion. The starting position
requires you to kneel on the Seat while resting your arms on the arm rests. The exercise requires you to lift the Seat along the track by using your
abdominal muscles, not by using your arms or your upper body. The key to performing the exercise properly is to concentrate on contracting your ab
muscles prior to and while you lift the Seat. Your upper body should be stable and should not be moving or swaying while you exercise.
Step 1:
Make sure the Ab Coaster® PS500 is placed on a flat, stable surface.
Step 2:
Approach the Ab Coaster® PS500 from the side, not the back, of the unit.
Step 3:
Place forearms and elbows on arm pads. Grasp handles to maintain
your balance.
Step 4:
While grasping handles, place knees on Seat so that your feet
are hooked on the back edge of the seat. You are now ready
to exercise.

Step 4:
Attach armrest console
to top of front post using the 4
pre-attached Allen head screws.
Tighten all bolts and screws
using tools provided. Cover
bolts with black plastic caps.
Step 3:
Attach front post to curved
track. The front post is attached to
track in 2 locations as shown using
the 2 pre-attached Allen head screws
for each location. Finger tighten only.
Step 5:
Connect counter wires
in 2 locations as shown. Install
wire protection covers to cover
wire connections.
Now you may safely cut the
strap that secures the SEAT.
(The strap with the Caution
label that says “Do Not Cut”).
