OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Do not use the Therapy Inversion System alone. Always have a helper available in case assistance is
needed in recovering from the decline position.
Make sure that the
FOAM PADS(16) and HEEL HOLDERS(19) are holding your feet securely.
Make sure that the HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT BEAM(12) is properly set for your height.
Make sure that the HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT BEAM(12) is held securely by both the SPRING PIN(22)
and the SECURING KNOB(23).
Make sure that there is enough room for the bed to rotate completely.

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The Therapy Inversion System is a very sensitive balance device. It responds to very slight changes in
weight distribution. It is very important to make sure that the height adjustment is adjusted properly. Use the
following procedure to set the height adjustment and balance the
Therapy Inversion System.
Adjust the NYLON STRAPS to restrict
movement to approximately 15 degrees
beyond the horizontal position. The nylon
straps
should not allow the Therapy
Inversion System to go into the full inversion
position while you are setting the height
adjustment.
Loosen the
SECURING KNOB(23) under the
MAIN FRAME(4).
Pull the SPRING PIN(22) and use the
SCALE DECAL(20) to set the HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT BEAM(12).
Tighten the SECURING KNOB(23).
Mount the machine.
Lock your ankles into the
FOAM PADS(16)
and HEEL HOLDERS(19).
Lie back with your hands at your sides.
Slowly raise your hands to your chest.

close to level, dismount and try a shorter setting.
NOTE: The Therapy Inversion System should return to the upright position when your hands are below
your waist. If it does not, use a taller setting.

HANDRAILS
The Therapy Inversion System features a set of Handrails for added convenience and safety. The Handrails
are connected to the bed with linkages so that pulling on the Handrails will move the bed away from the
inverted position toward the upright position.
Pull the Handrails to pull yourself to the upright position from any degree of inversion. If you wish to
return to the upright position and the bed is not moving or moving too slowly, grasp and pull the Handrails
until you return to the upright position.
Grasp the Handrails to control the speed of inversion or stop the inversion.
WARNING: Make sure that the Handrails are functioning properly before going into full inversion.
