To begin, place buttocks and back in the seat provided. Press up through the heels and pull the safety lever up (Figure 1).
From here, slowly bend the knees lowering to the bottom of the squat (don’t allow the knees to travel in front of the toes). Thighs should be roughly parallel to the foot rest (Figure 2).
Extend knees with good control to return to starting position.
