BEFORE YOU INVERT make sure that the
inversion table rotates smoothly to the fully inverted position
and back, and that all fasteners are secure. Make sure the
user settings described below are properly adjusted for your
unique needs and body type. Take your time finding your
proper settings and remember them. Check these settings
every time prior to using the equipment.
Roller Hinge: Find Your Setting
The Roller Hinge controls the responsiveness or rate of rotation. There are three holes;
the hole selection depends both on your body weight and the rotational responsiveness
you desire
(diagram above right). For users just learning to use the inversion table, we
recommend starting with Setting C (Figure 1).
IMPORTANT: Set the Roller Hinges in the same hole setting on each side.
Height Setting: Adjust the Main Shaft
The height settings are labeled on the Main Shaft in both inches and centimeters.
• Loosen the De-Rattler Knob.
• Pull out the Height-Selector Locking Pin with your right hand while sliding the
Main Shaft with your left (Figure 2).
• Slide the Main Shaft until the last setting you can read is one inch greater than
your height. e.g. If you’re 5’10” (178 cm) the last numbers you’ll be able to read
will be 5’11” (180 cm).
NOTE: The best height setting for you will depend on your weight distribution and
could vary one or two inches on either side of your actual height. Starting at one or two
inches more than your height will help to ensure that the rotation of the table is not too fast.
• Release the Height-Selector Locking Pin so that it fully engages in a hole. Re-tighten
the
De-Rattler Knob (optional).
Angle Tether: Adjust to Desired Angle
For first time users, attach the Angle Tether to help control your angle of rotation (Figure 3).
You can increase the angle of rotation allowed by the Angle Tether as you become more
comfortable using the table, or remove it all together for full inversion.
Ankle Comfort Dial: Find Your Setting
The Ankle Comfort Dial can rotate into a High or Low setting (Figure 4). There is a one inch
height difference between the settings. The setting you select will vary by the type of shoes
you wear and your ankle type. Try inverting in both settings to determine which one is most
comfortable for you.
The Ankle Comfort Dial should be set so the ankle clamps are secure around the smallest
part of the ankles (with minimal distance between the ankle clamp and the top of your foot);
this will reduce sliding on the Table Bed while inverted.
Prepare to Mount
•
ALWAYS
wear securely tied, lace up shoes with a flat sole, such as a tennis shoe.
•
DO NOT
wear shoes with thick soles, boots, high-tops or any shoe that extends above
the ankle bone, as this type of footwear could interfere with properly securing your ankles.
