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 11). 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 12).
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 “A” or
“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 (Figure 13).
• In your correct balance setting, your weight will keep the Table Bed “locked” in this position
until you are ready to return upright.
To Release from the Inverted “Locked” Position:
• With one hand, reach behind your head and grasp the Table Bed and Bed Frame Extension
(Figure 14). 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).
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!
WARNING
!
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.
