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.
