Full Inversion
Full inversion is defined as hanging completely upside down (90°) with your back free from the Table
Bed. Many Teeter
®
users enjoy this option because of the added freedom of movement for stretches
and exercises. However, DO NOT attempt this step until you are completely comfortable controlling the
rotation of the inversion table and are able to fully relax at an angle of 60°. To fully invert:
1. Disconnect the Angle Tether.
2. Adjust the Roller Hinges to Setting A to enable the inversion table to “lock” firmly in full inversion.
If you are 220 lbs (100 kg) or more, set the Roller Hinges to Setting B (see User Settings, pg 2).
3. 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 stops
against the Crossbar (Figure 20).
4. Relax and allow your body to pull away from the Table Bed so you are hanging freely. If you
tense up or press your back against the Table Bed, you will likely come “unlocked.”
5. In your correct balance setting, your weight will keep the Table Bed “locked” in this position
until you are ready to return upright. If unable to maintain an adequate “lock” while fully
inverted, contact Teeter

Customer Service for options.
To Release from the Inverted “Locked” Position:
1. With one hand, reach behind your head and grasp the Table Bed and Bed Frame Extension
(Figure 21). With the other hand, grasp the base of the A-Frame in front.
2. Pull both hands together (Figure 22). This will rotate the Table Bed out of the “locked”
position. Keep elbows in to avoid pinching between the A-Frame and Table Bed
(Figure 23). Follow the instructions for Returning Upright on the previous page.
Dismounting
1. Push down on the EZ-Reach Handle to disengage the lock, then push out to open
the Ankle Lock System all the way (Figure 24).
2. Release the handle in the open position.
3. 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.

Folding For Storage
1. Disconnect the Angle Tether.
2. Pull out the Height-Selector Locking Pin and slide the Main Shaft in all the way to the last
hole (the storage setting near the Rear Ankle Cups). Release and engage the Pin.
3. Stand in front of the Table Bed and rotate it opposite from use until it rests against the
Crossbar of the A-Frame (Figure 25).
4. Pull up on the Spreader Arms to fold the A-Frame (Figure 26), leaving the A-Frame legs open
to a width of 16-20” for stability. Use caution to prevent pinching fingers.

Tipping Hazard: Leave A-Frame open wide enough to remain stable, or secure to a wall to prevent
tipping. If children are present, store flat on the floor, not upright.

WARNING
!
Storage & Maintenance
If you opt to leave the inversion table open and ready for use, be sure to SECURE the equipment to
deter unintentional rotation. You can either
A.
loop the Angle Tether around the Main Shaft and Crossbar,
then attach it to itself with the clip (Figure 27), or
B.
secure with a Key Lock (available to order at teeter.com).
Test to ensure the inversion table cannot rotate.
Maintenance
Wipe with a damp cloth to clean. Prior to every use, check for wear and tear. Replace damaged or worn
parts immediately. Keep out of service until repaired. Contact Teeter for service recommendations.
