Inverting
When correctly balanced, the inversion table will rotate in response to simple arm
movements. To invert, lift your arms overhead slowly and to return upright, bring your arms
back to your sides. Your arms provide the weight needed to rotate the table. (Figure 10).
To ensure the inversion table does not rotate too far, too quickly:
• Set the Roller Hinges to Setting “C” (as explained on pg. 2);
• Attach the Angle Tether to the underside of the table and test to maximum rotation;
• Raise one arm at a time, and do so very slowly (the faster you move, the faster the
inversion table will rotate).
Returning Upright
To return to the upright position, put your arms at your sides. Since your body may have
lengthened or shifted on the Table Bed during inversion, you may need to bend your knees
to shift your body weight to the foot side of the pivot point.
DO NOT
lift your head or try
to sit up (Figure 11).
Full Inversion
Definition: Hanging completely upside down by your ankles with your back free from the
table.
DO NOT
attempt this step until you are comfortable with partial inversion.
• Disconnect the Angle Tether.
• Set the Roller Hinges in the top hole setting “A” if you want the table to “lock” firmly while
inverted.
If you are 220 lbs (100 kg) or more, set the Roller Hinges in the “B” hole setting.
• Slowly raise both hands over your head to begin rotation. You may need to assist the
last few degrees of rotation by pushing on the floor or A-frame until the Table Bed
pulls away from your back.
• In your correct balance setting, your weight will keep the Table Bed “locked” in
this position until you are ready to return upright (Figure 12).
To Release from the Inverted “Locked” Position:
• With one hand, reach behind your head and grasp the Table Bed and Bed Frame
Extension (Figure 13). With the other hand, grasp the base of the A-frame in front of you.
• Pull both hands together (Figure 14). This will rotate the Table Bed out of the “locked”
position. Slowly move your arms and elbows to your sides to complete the rotation.
USE CAUTION:
Elbows protruding over the sides of the Table Bed could get
pinched between the A-frame and the Table Bed as you return upright (Figure 15).
Dismounting
• Grasp the T-Pin Ankle Lock System and pull upwards, toward you. Push with the tops of
your feet on the Front Ankle Cups, allowing the Front Ankle Cups to move away from the
locked position. Release the T-Pin so that it securely locks into a hole setting, locking the
Ankle Lock System in the OPEN position.
• Keep your lower body supported against the Table Bed as you step onto the floor.
Carefully stand up and ensure you have your balance before stepping over the main
shaft and finishing your dismount.
To reduce tipping hazard, confine all inverted activities to smooth movements.
Aggressive exercises that involve vigorous body movement can cause the table
to tip over, resulting in serious injury or death!

It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the proper use of the
equipment and the inherent risks of inversion, such as falling on your head
or neck, pinching, entrapment or equipment failure.
DO NOT
use the inversion table until you have thoroughly
and carefully
read the Owner’s Manual, reviewed all accompanying documents
and inspected the equipment.
ALWAYS
test and inspect the equipment for smooth operation prior to each use.
