GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
1. Make sure that the Pivot Arms (5) are locks on the lowest hole for the first few attempts.
2. It is recommended that someone be with you while you are using this inversion table for the first
few times.
3. Make sure that the Front and Rubber Rear Heel Holders (31, 36) are holding your feet securely.
4. Make sure that the Adjustable Boom (3) is properly set to your height.
5. Make sure that the Adjustable Boom (3) is held securely by both the Ball Spring Knob (18) and
the Knob (30).
6. Make sure that there is enough room for the bed to rotate completely.
BALANCING THE INVERSION TABLE
The inversion table is like a very sensitively balanced fulcrum. It responds to very slight changes in
weight distribution. So, it is very important to make sure that the height is adjusted properly. To do
this, mount the inversion table, lock your ankles into the heel holders, and lie back with your hands at
your sides. Slowly place you hands across you chest. While in this position, your head should still
be above our feet. If your feet are above your head, dismount and adjust the height again.
USING THE INVERSION TABLE
1. Start by lying fully back on the bed with your hands at your side, or resting on your thighs.
2. Keeping your hands close to your body begin to raise your arms slowly allowing the table to
rotate backward. Stop, or lower your arms to control the downward rotation of the table.
3. Raise your arms until they are over your head. At this point, the inversion table will be as far
back as it can go.
4. As you get more comfortable with the use, rock the bed slowly by moving your arms up and
down slowly.
5. It is recommended that the inversion table be used for five or ten minutes each morning, and
again each evening.
6. Return to the upright position by slowly moving your hands back down to your thighs.
