OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• NEVER Place this table where children and those unfamiliar
with the dangers associated with using an inversion table will
have unsupervised and unauthorized access to it.
• Even with the above instruction in place, ALWAYS ensure that
the Safety Lock is fully engaged whenever the table is not in
use.
• ALWAYS ensure that the Safety Strap is fully engaged and
securely attached even when the table is not in use.
• ALWAYS use an adult spotter the first time using this
inversion table, even if you have used an inversion table
before. It is extremely important that the table is properly set
to your body. The Height measurements on the center bar are
guidelines only, and may need to be adjusted depending on
your weight and other factors. The use of an adult spotter is
to prevent potentially life threatening injuries in the case of
sudden and unexpected inversion.
• ALWAYS ensure that the ALL Lock Pins are fully secured in
their housings before using this table. Cease use immediately
if any of the Lock Pins become unsecured during use.
• When you lie down with both arms across your chest the
Inversion Table should rotate a few inches UPWARD. (Your
head should move towards the floor, and your feet towards
the ceiling).
• If the Inversion Table does not move or if it tilts all the way
back, the settings are incorrect. Adjust the center bar until
you are able to achieve the above result.
• As you lift ONE arm upwards over your head, the Inversion
Table will continue to rotate further back up. To stop and
return to normal position, bring your arm back to your side.
• You can increase the angle and speed of rotation by using
both arms.
• If you have trouble getting back up, bend your knees and slide
your bottom down towards your feet. If the Inversion Table
is in the full 90 degree inversion position, grab both sides of
your Inversion Table and pull forward.
• NEVER TRY TO GET UP BY LIFTING YOUR HEAD!
• START SLOWLY!
We recommend for the first time to invert only to 20 or 30
degrees. Spend no more than 5 minutes at any one time in
an inverted position. We recommend inverting for just a few
minutes each time for the first several weeks.
• LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!
If you show signs of overdoing it such as headaches,
dizziness, flushed face, or any discomfort in the ankles,
knees or hips, STOP IMMEDIATELY!
• USE A SPOTTER!
When using a new inversion table, you should always
use an adult spotter to assist with exercises until you are
certain of how this particular table will respond to your
body movements, even if you have used inversion tables
before.
• ANGLES OF INVERSION
Beginners should start at 20 to 30 degrees. This will provide
mild stretching and allow your body to get used to being
upside down.
• Once you feel comfortable, adjust the angle to 50 or 60
degrees. This allows full decompression of the spine. It is
not necessary or required for you to invert at more than 60
degrees. For maximum stretching, invert to 90 degrees.
• OSCILLATION
Raise and lower your arms slowly, back and forth. This will
rotate your body backwards (raised arms) and bring your
back up (lowered arms).
• Getting used to being upside down can take some time.
Start out just a few minutes each day. After your body is
used to being upside down, feel free to invert two or three
times a day.
Please read these instructions carefully.
