It is very important that you properly secure your ankles prior to inverting:
1. With your back to the Table Bed, and using the handles to steady yourself, carefully
step inside the A-Frame to stand next to one side of the Main Shaft (the A-Frame
Crossbar will be behind your legs) (Figure 10). Lift the foot closest to the Main Shaft
over the Ankle Lock System and place it on the floor on the other side, to straddle the
Main Shaft.
2. If the Ankle Lock System is closed, push down on the EZ-Reach Handle, then push
outward to open it all the way. Release the handle in the open position.
3. To balance yourself, rest only your lower body against the lower portion of the Table
Bed as you slide one ankle at a time from the side (Figure 11) between the Front and
Rear Ankle Cups, placing your feet on the Ankle Comfort Dial.
DO NOT
insert your foot into the Ankle Lock System as you would slide your foot
into a shoe (Figure 11a). Your feet should always be either on the floor or on the
Ankle Comfort Dial; never use any other part of the inversion table as a step
(Figures 12 & 13).
4. Press your ankles back firmly against the Rear Ankle Cups, then slightly rotate the top
of the Rear Ankle Cups toward your ankles to increase comfort while inverting.
5. Push down on the EZ-Reach Handle, pull toward your legs and release when the fit is
snug against your ankles (Figure 14).
6.
Test the closure
by jiggling the EZ-Reach Handle from front to back to make sure it
has fully engaged and the Ankle Lock System is locked securely.
Verify that no part of your footwear or garments touch or interfere with the EZ-Reach Ankle
Lock System in any way during inversion. Follow the method of
“HEAR
,
FEEL
,
SEE”
every
time you secure your ankles in the inversion table:
HEAR
the locking EZ-Reach Handle click into place;
FEEL
the EZ-Reach Handle to make sure it is fully engaged and locked in its setting;
SEE
that the EZ-Reach Handle is secure, and does not move out of position.
Securing Your Ankles
Prepare to Invert
BEFORE USING THE INVERSION TABLE
Make sure the inversion table rotates smoothly to the fully inverted position and back, and that all fasteners are secure.
Ensure that there is adequate clearance to rotate in front, above and behind you.
ALWAYS
wear securely tied, lace-up shoes with a flat sole, such as a tennis shoe.
DO NOT
wear shoes with thick soles,
boots, high-tops or any shoe that extends above the ankle bone, as this type of footwear could interfere with properly
securing your ankles.
NEVER
use the inversion table face down.
DO NOT
attempt to invert or lean your upper body against the Table Bed
before securing your ankles.
FAILURE
to engage the Ankle Lock System fully could result in serious injury or death!
