floor during inversion.

• DO NOT modify the equipment or use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer. Utilize the
equipment for its intended purpose only.

• This product is not intended for use in public facilities.

Precautions Before Using

•

DO NOT use the inversion table until you have thoroughly and carefully read the Owner's Manual, reviewed all other

accompanying documents, 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 inspect the equipment prior to use. Make sure that all fasteners are secure and that the equipment is located on
a level surface.

• ALWAYS replace defective components immediately and/or keep the equipment out of use until repair.

•

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.

• In the event of a power outage during use, this table requires the use of a hand crank to return to an upright position. When
fully upright, rotate the knob at the right end of the Foot Ankle Clamps. All first time users should practice manual cranking
to an upright position and manual release of the ankle clamps with a spotter until comfortable with the procedures. Users
who are not able to successfully utilize the power outage releases should

• Refer to additional warning notices posted on the equipment. If labels become unreadable or fall off, call customer service
for replacement labels.

Precautions During Use

DO NOT use aggressive movements, or use weights, elastic bands or any other exercise or stretching device while on the

inversion table.

• ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from moving parts to avoid injury. DO NOT drop or insert objects into any opening.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

• First time users should use a spotter to ensure they are comfortable with the operation of the table.

(This is not an exhaustive list, it is intended only for reference)

NEVER use the unit without a spotter.

DO NOT REMOVE FROM TABLE

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 V 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.

!

WARNING: 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 (the rear button on the Motor Housing) to make sure
the table rotates smoothly to the fully inverted position and back. Press the Ankle
Clamp Adjustment Button (the front button on the Motor Housing) to make sure the
front ankle clamps rotate smoothly towards the rear ankle clamps and back.

MOUNTING AND SECURING YOUR ANKLES

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. This type of footwear could interfere with properly securing your ankles.

• Rotate the ankle clamps to the open position by pressing the Ankle Clamp Adjustment Button, the

Figure 1

front button on the Motor Housing (See Figure 1).

2. Mounting:

• Stand on the Foot Platform, sliding your ankles between the Foam Ankle Clamps.

• Press your ankles back firmly against the rear Ankle Clamps.

• BEFORE INVERTING, push the Ankle Clamp Adjustment Button to rotate the clamps to a snug
and comfortable fit against the ankles (See Figure 2). Make sure your pant legs do not interfere
with obtaining a secure closure.

• ALWAYS carefully check to make sure that both the front and rear Ankle Clamps are snug against
your ankles, or you could fall when the table inverts. Do this before every use of the inversion table.

INVERTING

Precautions:

• When first using the inversion table, do not go to full inversion. To start, invert to only 15-20
degrees (See Figure 3) until you feel comfortable enough to progress to a greater angle.
Refer to "Important Details Regarding Inverting" on the next page.

• Use a spotter for your first few inversion sessions until you are comfortable with the
operation of the table.
