4. Adjust Foot Platform:
Adjust the foot platform so that when standing on it the foam ankle clamps will secure down onto the smallest part of your
ankles, immediately above the anklebone (
carefully read the "Mounting and Securing Your Ankles" section below
). Properly
adjusting the foot platform will help to ensure the most secure hold while you invert.
• Slide the main shaft until the last setting you can read is 1" more than your height. e.g. If you're
5'10" (178 cm) the last numbers you'll be able to read will be 5'11" (180 cm).
NOTE:
The best height
setting for you will depend on your weight distribution and could vary one or two inches on either
side of your actual height. Starting at one or two inches more than your height will help to ensure
that the rotation of the table is not too fast.
• Release the height selector locking pin so that it fully engages in a hole. Retighten the de-rattler knob.
3. Attach Tether Strap:
For first time users, attach the tether strap to help control your angle of rotation.
(See Figure 3)
You can increase the angle of rotation allowed by the tether strap as you become more
comfortable using the table, or remove it all-together for full inversion.

MOUNTING AND SECURING YOUR ANKLES
1. Preparing to Mount:
•
ALWAYS
wear securely tied lace-up shoes with a flat sole, such as a normal tennis style shoe.
DO NOT
wear shoes with thick soles, boots, high-tops or any shoe that extends above the
anklebone, as this type of footwear could interfere with properly securing your ankles.
• Confirm that the foot platform is adjusted properly so that the ankle clamps fit snug against the
smallest part of the ankle, immediately above the anklebone.
2. Mounting:
• Stand on the foot platform, sliding your ankles between the foam ankle clamps.
• Press your ankles back firmly against the rear ankle clamps.
• Rotate the top of the rear clamps slightly inward toward your ankles - this will increase your comfort while inverting.
• Pull out the locking pin to allow the front ankle clamps to snap closed against your ankles. Make sure your pant legs do
not interfere with obtaining a secure closure.
• Adjust the front ankle clamps to make sure both the front and rear ankle clamps are snug against your ankles.
(See
Figure 4)
Release the locking pin so that it fully engages a hole setting. (See illustrations below)
• If the locking pin does not automatically engage in a hole, push the front ankle clamps inward until the pin engages fully
in the next tightest hole setting.
Verify that no part of the footwear or garments can touch or interfere with the locking pin
in any way during inversion.
• Use the concept of
HEAR
-
FEEL
-
SEE
every time you secure your ankles:
HEAR
the locking pin click into place.
FEEL
the locking pin to make sure it is fully engaged in a hole setting.
SEE
that there is NO space between the locking pin and its base.
