• Pick up the Table Bed, holding each side near the Roller Hinges, and stand in front of the

A-Frame where the Crossbar is located (refer to Figure 3 to determine A-Frame Front).

• Lower each Roller Hinge Pivot Pin into the A-Frame hinge plates, one side at a time

(Figures 19 and 19A). With pressure, the Self-Locking Hooks will open to allow the Pivot Pin

into the slot, then automatically close over the Pivot Pin.

NOTE: You may need to push outward on the A-Frame in order for the 2nd Pivot Pin

to lock in place.

• Make sure that each Pivot Pin is seated at the base of the slot of the Hinge Plate (Figure 20),

that the Self-Locking Hooks have closed over both Pivot Pins, and that the Table

Bed rotates smoothly.

• With the Height Adjustment Settings on the Main Shaft facing up, slide the end of the Main Shaft into the Main Shaft Housing (Figure 21) on the Table Bed.

• Pull out the Height-Selector Locking Pin to allow the Main Shaft to slide in further and release in the desired height setting. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more information on selecting your height setting.

• The Main Shaft MUST REST against the Crossbar of the A-Frame (Figure 22).

NOTE: The Crossbar prevents the Table Bed from rotating forward when the user steps

on the Ankle Comfort Dial. If the Main Shaft does not rest on the Crossbar as shown in Figure 23, then the Table Bed has been assembled backwards onto the A-Frame. This MUST BE CORRECTED before use.

WARNING

If your Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table looks like either of these images, your table has been misassembled and is unfit for use.

Depending on the model you have purchased, the items in this step will vary.

See “Which Model Do you Own?” (page 4) for more information.

Assemble the Tether to the Table Bed (EP-1300)

EP-560 & EP-560 Sport: use the Angle Tether (F5-1007) EP-860, EP-960 & EP-970: use the EZ-Angle Tether (F5-1008)

• The Tether will come pre-assembled to the A-Frame.

• Unfold the adjustable Tether and clip it to the U-Bar on the underside of the Table Bed

(Figure 23).

• The EZ-Angle Tether has color coded angles to assist in varied angles of inversion for your experience level:

20° / Gentle Inversion

Green stripe must show in the center of the sliding buckle.

40°/ Moderate Inversion

Orange stripe must show in the center of the sliding buckle.

60° / Intermediate Inversion

Red stripe must show in the center of the sliding buckle. This is the angle when full decompression is realized.

90° / Advanced Inversion

Remove the tether strap clip from U-Bar to enable rotation to full inversion.

FIGURE 24

FIGURE 25

Step 9

Attach the Head Pillow (EP-1105)

• Attach the Head Pillow by securing the Velcro Straps through the holes in the Table Bed

(Figure 24). The position of the pillow can be adjusted depending on the user.

Attach the Owner’s Maunal

The Owner’s Manual contains important information on how to use your Teeter Hang Ups, including how to personalize the user settings, properly secure and release the Ankle Lock System, and test and adjust the rotation control.

• If not already attached, thread the provided metal chain, provided, through the pre-punched

hole in the upper corner of the Owner’s Manual.

• Secure the chain to the A-Frame through the designated hole in the HInge Plate (Figure 25).

Allow the Owner’s Manual to hang freely on the outside of the A-Frame Spread Arms so it doesn’t interfere with the rotation of the Table Bed.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the Owner’s Manual. It should remain permanently attached to the A-Frame of your inversion table to serve as a reference for proper adjustment and use of the equipment.

Before Use

• Test the Inversion Table by hand for smooth and steady rotation (Figure 25) and that all

fasteners are secure.

• Please complete the warranty registration online

WARNING

Read the Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using your Teeter Hang Ups

Inversion Table. Improper settings could result in serious injury or death!

Adjusting the Roller Hinge Setting

Adjustments: Changing the Roller Hinge Setting

To adjust the Roller Hinge setting, you’ll need to fully remove the Table Bed from the A-Frame.

• Remove the Angle Tether from the U-Bar located on the underside of the Table Bed.

• Pull the Height-Selector Locking Pin and slide the Main Shaft in all the way to the last

hole setting.

• Release and engage the Pin in the storage setting.

• Rotate the Table Bed opposite from use until it has turned 180° and rests against

the Crossbar of the A-Frame (Figure 26).

• With palms up, reach under and around each Roller Hinge, using your thumbs to release the Self-Locking Hooks over the Pivot Pin (Figure 27).

• Lift both sides of the Table Bed out of the A-Frame at the same time. TIP: Rest the head

of the Table Bed on the floor for quick adjustment. Unlock the Cam Locks for each Roller Hinge. Change the Roller Hinges to the desired setting (A, B or C).

NOTE: Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more information on finding your Roller Hinge Setting.

• Re-lock the Cam Locks (Figure 28). Replace the Table Bed onto the A-Frame by lowering

the Roller Hinges into the hinge plates of the A-Frame.

• Rotate the Table Bed back to the use position and re-adjust the Main Shaft height settings

for use.

Maintenance/ Storage

Maintenance

• To clean the Inversion Table, wipe down with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Storage

• Remove the Angle Tether from the U-Bar located on the underside of the Table Bed.

• Pull the Height-Selector Locking Pin and slide the Main Shaft in all the way to the

last hole setting.

• Release and engage the Pin in the storage setting.

• Rotate the Table Bed opposite from use until it has turned 180° and rests against

the Crossbar of the A-Frame.

• Pull up on the Spreader Arms to fold the A-Frame (Figure 29), leaving the A-Frame legs open to a width of 12” for stability.

NOTE: This operation may pinch fingers if not done slowly and carefully.

WARNING

Tipping Hazard: For upright storage, leave A-frame open wide

enough to remain stable, or secure to the wall to prevent tipping.

In households with small children, the inversion table should be stored
