ASSEMBLY

Step One

Assemble the A-frame Base
(EP-1100) and Install the
Handles (GL-9518, GL-9522)
and Shrouds (GL-9524)

• Open the A-frame and make sure
the spreader arms are locked.
Rest the A-frame on the fl oor
(Figure 1). The Crossbar is at the
front.

• Insert two double threaded bolts
(GL-9523) through the base of
the Left Handle (marked with
an “L”) and hand tighten on the
outside with the nuts provided.
(See Figure 2) Line up and insert
the opposite end of the bolts

through the corresponding 1/3”
holes on the outside of the hinge
plate. Loosely tighten with nuts,
then use the wrenches provided
to tighten both sets of nuts,
being careful not to over tighten.
Repeat with the Right Handle.

• Place each shroud over the
outside edge of the corresponding
handle. Line up and insert the
shroud bolts (GL-9525) through
the smaller 1/4” holes in the
hinge plate (See Figure 2). Use
the wrenches provided to tighten
the nuts, being careful not to over
tighten.

Upper Support Arms

Step Two

Attach the Upper Support
Arms to the Table Bed
(EP-1141)

• Before following this step, make
sure you have read the orange
insert that came attached to the
Table Bed.

• Place the Table Bed face down
on the fl oor and push down on
the Support Beam, so the two
holes align evenly with holes
at the base of Upper Support
Arms (Figure 3). You may have
to exert extra pressure to ensure

Support Beam

Figure 3

the Support Beam slides over the
rubber spacers.

• Insert the two bolts (EP-1149)
through the rubber spacers and
into the open holes.

• Fasten each bolt with a nut.

• Use the Allen Wrench to steady
(EP-1150) the bolts, tighten the
nut onto the bolt with the larger
wrench (F5-1088) (Figure 4).
Repeat with the second bolt.

ASSEMBLY

Step Three

Install the Roller Hinges
(TR-1001) onto the Table Bed
(EP-1140)

• For ease-of-assembly, rest the
Table Bed against the side of the
A-frame (Figure 5).

• Open the Cam Locks on each side
of the Table Bed (Figure 5A).

• With the Pivot Pins facing
outward, insert the Roller Hinges
into the brackets on each side of
the Table Bed. The Roller Hinges
must slide between the Cam
Locks and the brackets.

Figure 5

Pivot Pin

• Make sure the Roller Hinges are
in the same hole setting on both
sides. Figure 6 shows the Roller
Hinges engaged correctly in
setting C.

• Push down on the Cam Locks
(Figure 6A) to secure the hinges.

NOTE: Refer to the Owner’s

Manual for an explanation of the
hole settings. If you are unsure,
use setting C to start.

ASSEMBLY

Step Four

Attach the Table Bed
(EP-1140) to the
A-frame (EP-1100)

• Holding each side near the
Roller Hinges, pick up the
Table Bed and stand at the
front of the A-frame where
the Crossbar is located. Lower
each Pivot Pin into the A-frame
hinge plates one at a time
(Figure 7). You may need to
push outward on the A-frame
in order to slide the second

Figure 7

Pivot Pin into the hinge. Figure
9 shows the correct placement
of the Pivot Pin into the hinge
plate.

• Make sure that both Pivot Pins
are seated at the base of the
slot in the hinge plate. Check
to make sure that the self­locking hooks have closed over
both Pivot Pins (Figure 9), and
the table rotates smoothly.

Figure 8

Figure 9

WARNING

!

Failure of the self-locking hooks to close over both Pivot Pins is indication of
improper assembly and if not corrected, could result in serious injury or death!

ASSEMBLY

Step Five

Insert the Main Shaft (IA-1107) into
the Table Bed (EP-1140)

• Loosen the De-rattler knob on the Main
Shaft Housing.

• With the height adjustment settings on
the Main Shaft facing up, slide the end
of the Main Shaft into the Main Shaft
Housing on the Table Bed.

• Pull out the height-selector locking pin
to allow the Main Shaft to slide in
farther (Figure 10). For the purpose of
easy assembly, slide in the Main Shaft
and release the pin in the last height
setting (Refer to the Owner’s Manual
for proper height adjustment before
use).

NOTE: The De-rattler knob is an

optional accessory that helps prevent
a slight shift in the table when you
invert. The security of the product is
not compromised if you choose not to
tighten the knob.

• The Main Shaft must rest against the
Crossbar of the A-frame
(Figure 11). The Crossbar prevents
the table from rotating forward when
the user steps on the Foot Platform.

If the Main Shaft does not rest on the
Crossbar as shown in Figure 11 then
the Table Bed has been assembled
