INTRODUCTION TO INVERSION

Inversion reverses the natural pull of gravity on the body, using your own body weight to apply
a decompressive stretch for your joints and muscles. Inversion is a passive activity that you
can do easily at any time of the day to give you the benefits of decompression, stretching,
relaxation and improved flexibility and posture.

For a more active workout, the Power II will rotate to full inversion*. Controlled stretching and
exercise in full inversion can help build muscle strength and flexibility.

* Definition of full inversion: Hanging completely by your ankles with your back free from the
table. DO NOT attempt full inversion until you are comfortable with partial inversion.

!

W ARNING - Tip-Over Hazard

The equipment is structurally rated at a capacity of 6'6" (198 cm) or 300 lbs (136 kg). However,
please confine all inverted activities to smooth movements. Aggressive exercises, which involve
a lot of body movement, can cause the table to tip-over resulting in serious injury or death!

PRIOR TO USE

Press the rotation control button to make sure that the table rotates smoothly to the fully inverted position and back.

USING THE GRAVITY LOCK SYSTEM

1. Preparing to Mount:

• ALWAYS wear securely tied lace-up shoes with a flat sole, such as a normal tennis style shoe. DO NOT wear shoes
with thick soles, boots, high-tops or any shoe that extends above the anklebone, as this type of footwear could interfere
with properly securing your ankles.

• Push down on the knob of Gravity Lock Handle, close slightly, then push open-this allows the locking
system inside the Gravity Lock Housing to disengage.

2. Mounting:

• Slide your ankles between the foam ankle clamps, resting your feet on the Foot Platform.

• Press your ankles back firmly against the rear ankle clamps.

• Rotate the top of the rear clamps slightly inward toward your ankles - this will increase your
comfort while inverting.

• Pull the Gravity Lock Handle toward you. Make sure your pant legs do not interfere with
obtaining a secure closure.

• Adjust the ratchet handle to make sure both the front and rear ankle clamps are snug against
your ankles. (See Figure 2)

IMPORTANT!

Jiggle the Gravity Lock Handle from front to back to make sure the foot clamps are locked securely. ALWAYS carefully
check to be certain the Gravity Lock Handle is locked securely each time you use your inversion table and make sure
that both the front and rear ankle clamps are snug against your ankles or you could fall when the table inverts.

!

W ARNING

Failure to lock the foot clamps fully could result in serious injury or death!

DO NOT deviate from these instructions.

3. Unlocking

the Gravity Lock Housing to disengage. (See Figure 3A)

• Push out so that you have enough room to slide your feet out from between

the Ankle Clamps .
