WARNING: Always make sure that the Lock Frame (11) is secured snugly against your ankles before using the inver sion table. Always wear athletic shoes with laces to help secure your feet in the inversion table. SETTING THE INVERSION ANGLE The inversion table can be set to rotate between 15° and 90°, in 15° increments. To set the inversion angle, pull the Index Handle (25) out as far as it will go, and turn the Index Handle until the arrow on top of the Index Handle points to the desired degree setting. Then, release the Index Handle; make sure that the Index Handle is fully engaged. LEVELING THE INVERSION TABLE If the inversion table rocks slightly on your floor, turn one or both of the Leveling Feet (41) until the inversion table is level. LOCKING THE INVERSION TABLE To lock the inversion table when you are not using it, insert the threaded end of the Lock Pin (35) into the Support Leg (13), and position the other end of the Lock Pin on top of the Leg Frame (10). Then, tighten an M10 Nylon Locknut (65) onto the Lock Pin.

Before using the inversion table, see the ADJUSTMENT section starting on page 13 to correctly set up the inversion table. It may be helpful to have a second person ready to assist you as you learn to use the inversion table. ROTATING BACK ON THE INVERSION TABLE To rotate back on the inversion table, slowly lift your arms over your head until you reach the desired position. The speed at which you lift your arms will determine how quickly the inversion table will rotate. Rest your arms in a comfortable position that does not cause the inversion table to rotate. Note: The inversion table will rotate only to the degree setting set by the index handle. ROTATING UP ON THE INVERSION TABLE To return to the starting position, move your hands toward your waist until you rotate to a horizontal position. Rest in a horizontal position for 30 to 60 seconds before rotating to the starting position. This will allow your body to readjust. Return to the starting position slowly. Dizziness after using the inversion table is an indication that you have returned to the starting position too quickly. To rotate up from the fully inverted position, pull yourself up using the handles. Do not sit up to return to the starting position. 15 DEVELOPING A PROGRAM This section contains information and suggestions about using the inversion table. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time you use the inversion table. Replace any worn parts immediately. See the ADJUSTMENT section starting on page 13 to identify parts referred to in this section. BENEFITING FROM USING THE INVERSION TABLE If you feel nauseated while using the inversion table, return to the starting position. Note that it may take a few weeks of use for your inner ear to become accustom to being inverted. Do not use the inversion table right after you have eaten. Moving while using the inversion table may make it a more comfortable experience, and may help joints and muscles stretch and relax. Always move in a slow, controlled manner. The greater the angle at which the inversion table is used, the shorter the time that you should rotate back before rotating up. Increase the amount of inverted time and the angle of use gradually. Always pay attention to how your body feels as you use the inversion table. Increase the level of intensity only as it is comfortable for you. When you feel like you have had enough, return to the starting position. BEGINNER PROGRAM The following are suggestions for persons who are just starting to use the inversion table. Set the index handle to allow the backrest frame to rotate to 15° or less for the first one or two weeks. This will allow your body time to adjust to the change in gravitational pull. Use the inversion table for one or two minutes at a time, two or three times a day. Stay inverted only for as long as it is comfortable. This may be only a few seconds at first. INTERMEDIATE PROGRAM The following are suggestions for persons who have become comfortable using the inversion table as described under the BEGINNER PROGRAM. Increase the angle to which the inversion table can rotate, as it is comfortable. Adjust the index handle to allow the inversion table to rotate to up to 60°, a few degrees at a time. Start to do gentle stretching while using the inversion table. Gradually increase the amount of time that you use the inversion table to ten minutes or more, two or three times a day. Routines can be varied from rotating back for one or two minutes and then up for 30 seconds, to rotating back and up for equal amounts of time.
