WARNING

!

To reduce tipping hazard, confine all inverted activities to smooth movements.

Aggressive exercises that involve vigorous body movement can cause the table

to tip over, resulting in serious injury or death!

Inverting

When correctly balanced, the table will rotate in response to simple arm movements. To

invert, lift your arms overhead slowly and to return upright, bring your arms back to your

sides. Your arms provide the weight needed to rotate the table. (Figure 12).
To ensure the inversion table does not rotate too far, too quickly:

• Set the Roller Hinges to Setting “C” (as explained on pg.2);
• Attach the Angle Tether to the underside of the table and test to maximum rotation;
• Raise one arm at a time, and do so very slowly (the faster you move, the faster the

inversion table will rotate).

Returning Upright

To return to the upright position, put your arms at your sides. Since your body may have

lengthened or shifted on the Table Bed during inversion, you may need to bend your knees to

shift your body weight to the foot side of the pivot point.

DO NOT

lift your head or try to sit up

(Figure 13).

Full Inversion

Definition: Hanging completely upside down by your ankles with your back free from the

table.

DO NOT

attempt this step until you are comfortable with partial inversion.

• Disconnect the AngleTether.
• Set the Roller Hinges in the top hole setting “A” if you want the table to “lock” firmly

while inverted. If you are 220 lbs (100 kg) or more, set the Roller Hinges in the

“B” hole setting.

• From a balanced position on the table, slowly raise both hands over your head to begin

rotation. You may need to assist the last few degrees of rotation by pushing on the floor

or A-frame until the table pulls away from your back (Figure 14). In your correct balance

setting, your weight will keep the table “locked” in this position until you are ready to

return upright.

To Release from the Inverted “Locked” Position:
• Place one hand on the top of the Table Bed behind your head and place the other hand

on the base of the A-frame in front of you.

• Pull both hands together (Figure 15). This will rotate the table out of the “locked”

position. Slowly move your arms and elbows to your sides to complete the rotation.

USE CAUTION:

Elbows protruding over the sides of the Table Bed could get pinched

between the A-frame and the Table Bed as you return upright (Figure 16).

It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the proper use of the equipment

and the inherent risks of inversion, such as falling on your head or neck,

pinching, entrapment or equipment failure.

DO NOT

use the inversion table until you have thoroughly and carefully read the

Owner’s Manual, reviewed all accompanying documents and inspected the equipment.

ALWAYS

test and inspect the equipment for smooth operation prior to each use.
