Teeter Hang Ups® Inversion Tables |
Purpose: Some users prefer to use the standard ankle clamps provided with the Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table. Others prefer to use Gravity Boots while inverting. To convert Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table for use with Gravity Boots, you must install the CV Bar - failure to do so could result in serious injury or death. Please carefully comply with the following instructions:
PRE-ASSEMBLY
Before you begin: These instructions will guide you in properly assembling and using the unit. Please review all the steps before beginning assembly. Carefully adhere to these instructions to help ensure user safety and product integrity.
! WARNING
It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the proper use of the equipment and the inherent risks of inversion, such as falling on your head or 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 specifically to be adapted with the CV Bar. The CV Bar is to 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 specifically for inversion 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 floor during inversion. If using the Gravity Boots with another Teeter Hang Ups device, follow the weight limitations for that 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 fit loosely at the base of the hook. Bars that are too large will stress the hook and could result in equipment failure.
•DO NOT use the equipment without a licensed physician’s approval. Carefully review the following list of medical contraindications for inversion with your licensed physician (this is not an exhaustive list, it is intended only for reference):
· Middle ear infection |
· Conjunctivitis |
· Recent stroke or transient ischemic attack |
· Extreme obesity |
· High blood pressure |
· Bone weakness (osteoporosis) |
· Pregnancy |
· Hypertension |
· Recent or unhealed fractures |
· Hiatal hernia |
· Heart or circulatory disorders |
· Medullary pins |
· Ventral hernia |
· Spinal injury |
· Surgically implanted orthopedic supports |
· Glaucoma |
· Cerebral sclerosis |
· Use of anticoagulants (including high doses of aspirin) |
· Retinal detachment |
· Acutely swollen joints |
|
•DO NOT modify the equipment or use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer. Utilize the equipment for its intended purpose only.
Precautions During Assembly and Before Use
•DO NOT use Gravity Boots with a Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table until you have replaced the ankle clamps with the properly installed CV Bar.
•ALWAYS choose a level surface for assembling the CV Bar and operating the inversion table.
•Follow each step in sequence. DO NOT skip ahead.
•DO NOT use until you have thoroughly and carefully read all accompanying documents, reviewed product labeling, and inspected the equipment.
•NEVER allow children to use the equipment unsupervised.
•DO NOT operate equipment while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that may cause drowsiness or disorientation.
•ALWAYS test and inspect the CV Bar, Gravity Boots and inversion table prior to use. Make sure the table rotates smoothly to inverted position and back. Make sure that all fasteners are secure.
•ALWAYS replace defective components immediately and/or keep the equipment out of use until repair.
Precautions During Use
•ALWAYS wear the Gravity Boots when using the CV Bar, making sure the Gravity Boots are fastened securely around the ankles and checking that the Gravity Boot hooks are fitted properly around the CV Bar.
•ALWAYS use a spotter until comfortable with the use of the equipment.
•DO NOT use aggressive movements, or use weights, elastic bands or any other stretching device while inverting.
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 |
Figure 1 |
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.

! WARNING
Check to be sure the CV Bar is properly secured prior to inverting. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death!
GRAVITY BOOTS:
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 benefits:
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 finger 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.
