1. How can I tell which is the Right Base Frame (8/9R) vs. Left Base Frame (8/9L)?
There is a Warning sticker on the Right Front Base Frame (9R). There is also a
protruding
metal piece
on the Right Connecting Bracket (11R). In this manual, Right indicates the right
side while using the inversion table, not facing it. Left indicates the left side while using the
inversion table, not facing it. When installing the inversion table, the Connecting Brackets
(11R/11L) will need to face each other in the middle.
2. My bolts do not tighten. What is wrong?
We use Nylon Lock Nuts to provide extra security for the inversion table. You will not be able to
fully tighten the bolts using just your hands (it will only go a couple of threads). You will need to
use two wrenches to tighten the nuts. Use one wrench to hold the bolt into place and use the
second wrench to turn the nut.
3. I cannot invert or return. How do I find my Center of Gravity for a smoother inversion?
To be able to invert smoothly and easily, you will need to find your
personal center of gravity
.
The center of gravity may vary from person to person due to height and weight distribution.
Your height setting may or may not be your actual height. Please thoroughly read the “How to
Invert” page in the Owner’s Manual for additional information. Contact us if it still doesn’t work.
4. What Inversion Setting (slope) should I use?
We highly recommend all new users begin at a low setting (15 or 30). For many, this is
something you will need to gradually get use to doing. Starting at a lower position may also help
you get use to the pressures applied to your feet/ankles while inverting. Based on reviews and
customer feedback, many users suggest that using the Inversion Setting of 30 or 45 provides
sufficient results.
5. How long should I invert?
A general rule of thumb is
to listen to your body
. Do not overexert yourself and only do what you
are comfortable with. Most people start with 1-2 minutes per session. As your body gets use to
inverting, you may choose to slowly add more minutes to each session. Frequency is typically
more important than duration. If you still have additional questions, you should contact your
doctor for additional information.
6. My feet / ankles feel discomfort while I’m inverting. What can I do?
Hanging upside-down or in a position where your feet are above your head will put a lot of
pressure to your ankles. For many, this is something you will need to gradually get use to doing.
Starting at a lower Inversion Setting (slope) and inverting for shorter periods of time may also
help the body get use to the pressures applied to the feet/ankles while inverting. Here are a
couple of tips that can help:
-Wear proper footwear with top laced shoes can help provide extra cushion and support for
your feet / ankles.
-Adjust the Ankle System so that it is snug enough to secure you. Do not tighten the Ankle
System too tight against your ankles / legs. This can restrict your blood flow and cause
discomfort.
-Contact us and we will help you.
7. My feet move from the Footrest when I invert. Is this normal?
As gravity works, you will move a little and your shoes may no longer touch the Footrest. Your
feet / ankles will then hold your entire body weight. You may need to start at a lower Inversion
Setting to allow your body (and yourself) to get use to inverting and hanging upside-down.
