neck, pinching, entrapment or equipment failure.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS OR HEED WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Restrictions on Use

• DO NOT attempt to use the CV Bar with any other inversion table that is not designed specically to be adapted with the CV Bar.
be used only with certain Teeter Hang Ups inversion tables: F5000, F6000, F7000, F8000, EP-550, EP-550 Sport, EP-650, EP-850, NXT-R.

• We recommend only using the Gravity Boots with properly installed and tested Teeter Hang Ups products, which are designed specically for inver-
sion and for use with Gravity Boots.

• DO NOT use with the Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table if you are over 300 lbs. (136kg) or 6 ft 6 in (198 cm). Structural failure could occur or head/

neck may impact the oor during inversion. If using the Gravity Boots with another T

product.

• DO NOT use Gravity Boots with a Bar that is not secure to at least four times your body weight. Test any equipment to this weight prior to use.

• DO NOT use Gravity Boots with a Bar that exceeds 1.25” (3.2 cm) in diameter - the Bar must t loosely at the base of the hook. Bars that are too
large will stress the hook and could result in equipment failure.

your licensed physician (this is not an exhaustive list, it is intended only for reference):

· Middle ear infection · Conjunctivitis

ASSEMBLING THE CV BAR

Step One
Remove the rear bar

• Remove a black plug and one rear foam ankle clamp with backing from the same side
of the rear bar. (See Figure 1)

• Remove the nut and bolt; slide the rear bar out from the main shaft. Keep the nut and

bolt in case you want to re-attach the ankle clamps in the future.

DO NOT DISCARD - KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

ASSEMBLING THE CV BAR (cont.)

Step Two
Remove the front ankle clamps

• Remove the bolt that holds the retainer spring attached to the front ankle clamp. (See
Figure 2) Keep the bolt and nut for use in Step Three.

• Pull up on the locking pin and remove the front ankle clamp assembly and spring.

Step Three
Install the CV Bar

Insert the CV Bar into the ankle clamp housing.

•

• Attach the CV Bar by inserting the bolt removed in Step Two through the holes located at the
front of the ankle clamp housing (just under the locking pin). (See Figure 3)

• Securely tighten the nut and bolt with wrenches.

• With the CV Bar in place, you may choose to remove the locking pin by unscrewing its base.

Be sure to keep it in case you want to re-attach the ankle clamps in the future.

may result in serious injury or death!

ATTACHING / DETACHING THE CALF LOOPS

Calf Loops: Why use them?

Calf Loops are an optional feature that are easily detachable (removing the calf loops may make the
Gravity Boots more comfortable for shorter adults and children). Calf Loops provide the following

benets:

1. Reduce loads on the ankles and prevent the front edge of the boot from placing uncomfortable
pressure on the top of your feet.

2. Place a 2° bend in the knees, which for most people is more comfortable than inverting with
straight legs.

TO ATTACH CALF LOOPS:

Insert the base of the Calf Loop into the open end of the Boot Hook (Figure A). Make sure you
hear the Calf Loop snap into place - this indicates secure attachment. Repeat on other boot.

TO DETACH CALF LOOPS:

A.

Press your nger onto the Calf Loop Release Tab (Figure B) and pull loop away from the Boot

Hook.

* Calf Loops must be attached/detached while the Gravity Boots are NOT being worn.

No regular maintenance is required. However, we recommend keeping the buckles latched when
not in use to prevent possible damage.

WARNING

Setting the Foot Platform so that the hooks are not positioned securely around the

bar could cause you to fall during inversion, resulting in serious injury or death!

2. Mounting:

CV Bar

• While facing away from the table with your legs positioned on either side of the Main Shaft,
lift one foot so that Gravity Boot Hook wraps around the CV Bar.

• Slide the hook along the CV Bar until the foot is able to rest at on the Foot Platform.

To re-assemble the Ankle Clamps - reverse the process

• Remove the black end cap from the back of the ankle clamp housing.

• Follow Step Three through Step One, reversing the installation process to remove the CV Bar and re-assemble the rear
and front ankle clamp assemblies. (See Figure 5)

• IMPORT

- Make sure that the holes in the front ankle clamp assembly are on top (facing the same side as the
locking pin).

- When inserting the bolt into the holes in the housing, be sure to slide the bolt through the loops at
the end of the spring and security cable. You may need to use needle nose pliers to pull the spring
loop and align it with the bolt.

- Fasten securely with the nut. Test the installation of the front ankle clamps to ensure there is spring-loaded tension.

- Replace the black end cap on the back of the ankle clamp housing.

• If you removed the locking pin when you installed the CV Bar, you MUST replace it securely before using the ankle clamp
assembly. Use channel locks or vise grips to ensure that the locking pin is fully tightened. You may want to wrap the base
of the locking pin with a cloth to prevent cosmetic scarring when tightening.
