Note: The following content corresponds with pages 15 through 28 of the manual.

Adjusting the Voltage

• Increase the voltage until one of the channels registers a level of “1”.
• The conductivity values should not vary by more than one value.
• When the intensity of the contractions increases, wait one or two minutes before increasing the intensity again.
• Increase the voltage until contractions occur under all electrodes.
• The higher the voltage, the deeper the therapy.
• For typical muscle rehabilitation, select an intensity that obtains the strongest contractions while maintaining acceptance by the horse.
• For early, acute rehabilitation, select the intensity necessary to obtain the degree of mobilization desired by the practitioner.

Treatment Time

• Back – 35 Minutes.
• Legs and Neck – 20 Minutes.

Adjusting Intensity

• After setting the treatment time, push the RED Mode Button to change the display to the Treatment Mode.
