WARNING
!
FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
To reduce the risk of injury:
• Read and understand all the instructions, review all other accompanying documents, and inspect the equipment before using the Inversion Rack.
It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the proper use of this equipment and the inherent risks of inversion if these instructions are not
followed, such as falling on your head or neck, pinching, entrapment, equipment failure or aggravating a pre-existing medical condition. It is the
responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the product are fully informed about the proper use of the equipment and all safety precautions.
•
ALWAYS
read and understand the instructions and warnings associated with and accompanying any supplementary equipment, such as Teeter
EZ-Up Gravity Boots.
•
DO NOT
use until approved by a licensed physician. Inversion is contraindicated in any medical or health condition that may be made more severe
by an elevation of blood pressure, intracranial pressure or mechanical stress of the inverted position, or that may impact your ability to operate the
equipment. This may include injury or illness, but also the side effects of any drug or supplement (prescribed or over-the-counter). Specific conditions
may include, but not be limited to:
·
Any condition, neurological or otherwise, which results in unexplained tingling, weakness or neuropathy, seizure, sleep disorder,
lightheadedness, dizziness, disorientation, or fatigue, or impacts strength, mobility, alertness, or cognitive ability;
·
Any brain condition, such as trauma, history of intracranial bleed, history or risk of TIA or stroke, or severe headaches;
·
Any condition of the heart or circulatory system, such as high blood pressure, hypertension, increased risk of stroke, or use of
anticoagulants (including high doses of aspirin);
·
Any bone, skeletal or spinal cord condition or injury, such as significant spinal curvature, acutely swollen joints, osteoporosis, fractures, dislocations,
medullary pins or surgically implanted orthopedic supports;
·
Any eye, ear, nasal or balance condition, such as trauma, history of retinal detachment, glaucoma, optic hypertension, chronic sinusitis, middle or
inner ear disease, motion sickness, or vertigo;
·
Any digestive or internal condition, such as severe acid reflux, hiatal or other hernia, gallbladder or kidney disease;
·
Any condition for which exercise is specifically directed, limited or prohibited by a physician, such as pregnancy, obesity, or recent surgery.
•
ALWAYS
install Locking Brackets in a SOLID WOOD doorway built according to U.S. national building codes, which measures between 28-36 in (71.1-
91.4 cm) wide and has been built according to U.S. national building codes.
DO NOT
use in faux or metal doorways.
• When using with Gravity Boots,
ALWAYS
be certain the Gravity Boots are properly adjusted and that your ankles are secure before using the
equipment. Ensure that the Gravity Boots are snug, close fitting and secure EVERY TIME you use the equipment.
• When using the Gravity Boots,
ALWAYS
wear securely tied lace-up shoes, such as normal style tennis shoes.
DO NOT
wear clothing or footwear that
can interfere with securing the Gravity Boots, such as high-tops or any shoes that extend above the ankle bones.
• When using the Gravity Boots with EZ-Up Rack or Bar,
ALWAYS
install the EZ-UP Strap to provide assistance with dismount.
• When using the Gravity Boots,
ALWAYS
ensure that the Boots are put on the correct leg so that the buckle levers are on the outside of the leg, versus
on the inside where they can rub against each other and unlatch or sustain potential damage.
•
When using non-Teeter brand inversion boots, ensure boot hook is compatible with 1.25 in (3.2 cm) diameter bar.
• New users will require the assistance of a spotter possessing the physical strength to lift and return the user to the upright position.
•
DO NOT
continue using the equipment if you feel pain or become light-headed or dizzy. If this occurs while inverting, immediately return to the upright
position for recovery and eventual dismount by following the dismounting instructions.
•
DO NOT
use if you are over 250 lbs (113.4 kg) or use by more than one person at a time, otherwise structural failure could occur.
DO NOT
use until
the Inversion Rack is tested to exceed your body weight by following the weight test instructions. If the doorframe cracks or any structural failure or
weakened condition is observed,
DO NOT
continue use of the Inversion Rack in that doorframe.
•
DO NOT
invert on the Inversion Rack if your height exceeds the
distance between the upper bar of the installed Inversion Rack and the floor.
DO NOT
invert from the lower bar. Maximum height allowance depends on the height of the doorway and placement of the locking brackets. In a standard
6’8” (203.2 cm), maximum user height is 7’3” (221 cm).
•
DO NOT
allow children to use the equipment. Keep children, bystanders, and pets away from the equipment while in use. The Inversion Rack is not
intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.
•
DO NOT
store outdoors.
•
DO NOT
use aggressive movements, bounce or swing excessively. While inverted,
DO NOT
use weights, elastic bands, any other exercise or stretching
device or non-Teeter attachments. Use the Inversion Rack only for its intended use as described in these instructions.
•
DO NOT
exercise to the point of fatigue while inverted, otherwise returning upright or dismounting may be difficult.
•
DO NOT
use in any commercial, rental or institutional setting. This product is intended for indoor, home-use only.
•
DO NOT
operate equipment while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that may cause drowsiness or disorientation.
