OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
NEVER
Place this table where children and those unfamiliar with the dangers associated with using an
inversion table will have unsupervised and unauthorized access to it.
ALWAYS
ensure that the Safety Strap is fully engaged and securely attached even when the table is
not in use.
ALWAYS use an adult spotter the first time using this inversion table
, even if you have used an
inversion table before. It is extremely important that the table is properly set to your body. The height
measurements on the center bar are guidelines only, and may need to be adjusted depending on your
weight and other factors. The use of an adult spotter is to prevent potentially life threatening injuries in
the case of sudden and unexpected inversion.
ALWAYS
ensure that the ALL Lock Pins are fully secured in their housings before using this table.
Cease use immediately if any of the Lock Pins become unsecured during use.
When you lie down with both arms across your chest the Inversion Table should rotate a few inches
UPWARD. (Your head should move towards the floor, and your feet towards the ceiling).
If the Inversion Table does not move or if it tilts all the way back, the settings are incorrect.
Adjust the center bar until you are able to achieve the above result.
As you lift ONE arm upwards over your head, the Inversion Table will continue to rotate further back
up. To stop and return to normal position, bring your arm back to your side.
You can increase the angle and speed of rotation by using both arms.
If you have trouble getting back up, bend your knees and slide your bottom down towards your feet. If
the Inversion Table is in the full 90 degree inversion position, grab both sides of your Inversion Table
and pull forward.
NEVER TRY TO GET UP BY LIFTING YOUR HEAD!
START SLOWLY!
We recommend for the first time to invert only to 20 or 30 degrees. Spend no more than 5
minutes at any one time in an inverted position. We recommend inverting for just a few
minutes each time for the first several weeks.
LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!
If you show signs of overdoing it such as headaches, dizziness, flushed fact or any discomfort
in the ankles, knees or hips, STOP IMMEDIATELY!
USE A SPOTTER!
When using a new inversion table, you should always use an adult spotter to assist with exercises until
you are certain of how this particular table will respond to your body movements, even if you have
used inversion tables before.
ANGLES OF INVERSION
Beginners should start at 20 to 30 degrees. This will provide mild stretching and allow your
body to get used to being upside down.
Once you feel comfortable, adjust the angle to 50 or 60 degrees. This allows full
decompression of the spine. It is not necessary or required for you to invert at more than 60
degrees. For maximum stretching, invert to 90 degrees.
OSCILLATION
Raise and lower your arms slowly, back and forth. This will rotate your body backwards (raised
arms) and bring your back up (lowered arms).
Getting used to being upside down can take some time. Start out just a few minutes each day.
After your body is used to being upside down, feel free to invert two or three times a day.
