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 table. 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.
•
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
be certain the Ankle Lock System is properly adjusted and fully engaged, and that your ankles are secure before using the
equipment. HEAR, FEEL, SEE and TEST that the Ankle Lock System is snug, close-fitting and secure EVERY TIME you use the equipment.
•
ALWAYS
wear securely tied lace-up shoes with a flat sole, such as a normal tennis-style shoe.
•
DO NOT
wear any footwear that could interfere with securing the Ankle Lock System, such as shoes with thick soles, boots, high-tops or
any shoe that extends above the anklebone.
•
DO NOT
use the inversion table until it is adjusted properly for your height and body weight. Improper settings can cause rapid inversion
or make returning upright difficult. New users, and users who are physically or mentally compromised, will require the assistance of a
spotter. Make sure the equipment is set to your unique user settings prior to each use.
•
DO NOT
sit up or raise head to return upright. Instead, bend knees and slide your body to the foot-end of the inversion table to change
weight distribution. If locked out in full inversion, follow the instructions for releasing from the locked position before returning upright.
•
DO NOT
continue using the equipment if you feel pain or become light-headed or dizzy while inverting. Immediately return to the upright
position for recovery and eventual dismount.
•
DO NOT
use if you are over 6 ft 6 in (198 cm) or over 300 lbs. (136 kg). Structural failure could occur or head/neck may impact the floor
during inversion.

is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, unless they are given supervision and instruction
concerning use of the machine by a person responsible for their safety.
•
DO NOT
store the inversion table upright if children are present. Fold and lay the table on the floor.
