Inverting
When correctly balanced, the inversion 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 9). To ensure the inversion table does not rotate too far, too quickly:
• Set the Rotation Adjustment to Setting “C” (as explained on pg. 2);
• Attach the Tether Strap 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 10).
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 Tether Strap.
• Set the Rotation Adjustment in the top setting “A” if you want the table to “lock” firmly
while inverted.
If you are 220 lbs (100 kg) or more, set the Rotation Adjustment in the
“B” hole setting.
• 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 Bed pulls
away from your back (Figure 11).
• In your correct balance setting, your weight will keep the Table Bed “locked” in this
position until you are ready to return upright.
To Release from the Inverted “Locked” Position:
• With one hand, reach behind your head and grasp the Table Bed (Figure 12). With the
other hand, grasp the base of the A-frame in front of you.
• Pull both hands together. This will rotate the Table Bed 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 13).
Dismounting
• Grasp the handle of the Deluxe EZ-Reach Ankle Lock System and press the button
at the top, pull slightly toward you, then push out to open it all the way (Figure 14).
Release the handle in the open position.
• Keep your lower body supported against the Table Bed as you step onto the floor.
Carefully stand up and ensure you have your balance before stepping over the main
shaft and finishing your dismount.

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!
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.
