SELECTING THE PIVOT BAR POSITION
The Pivot Bars (23) have three adjustment holes. The
correct hole to use will depend on the user’s body
weight and the desired level of responsiveness. See
the chart to determine which hole to use.
To adjust the Pivot Bars (23), uncover the Saddle
Plates (not shown). Lift a Pulley (29) out of a Saddle
Plate. Move the Pivot Bar so that the pin on the
Backrest Frame (1) engages the desired adjustment
hole. Rest the Pulley back in the slot in the Saddle

Use the inversion table with the Pivot Bars (23)
adjusted to each position to determine which is best
for you.
WARNING:Always engage the
pins on the Backrest Frame (1) into the same
holes in both Pivot Bars (23).
ADJUSTING THE LENGTH OF THE STRAP
The Strap (17) can be used to stop the inversion
table from becoming inverted more than desired. To
adjust the Strap, rotate the Backrest (2) to the most
inverted position to which you want it to move. Have
a second person tighten the Strap.
For the first week or two of use, adjust the Strap (17)
to stop the Backrest (2) from rotating more than 15 to
20 degrees. Then, lengthen the Strap to allow the
Backrest to rotate a few more degrees as your body
becomes accustomed to using the inversion table.

P
Knob (27) out as far as it will go. Slide the Adjustment
Leg into, or out of, the Backrest Frame so that the
first or second measurement greater than the user’s
height is covered by the Backrest Frame. Re-engage
the Knob and Pin into adjustment holes in the
Adjustment Leg and the Backrest Frame.
Use the inversion table with the Adjustment Leg (3)
adjusted to a few different lengths to determine which
length is best for you.

ROTATING ON THE INVERSION TABLE
This section explains how to rotate back on the inversion table and return to the starting position. It may be helpful to have a second person ready to assist you as you learn to use the inversion table. See the ADJUST-
MENTS section starting on page 10 of this manual to identify parts referred to in this section.
SETTING UP AND MOUNTING THE INVERSION
TABLE
Before using the inversion table, adjust the Pivot Bars
(23), the Adjustment Leg (3), and the Strap (17) to the
correct settings for the user. Secure your ankles in the
Ankle Lock (15).
ROTATING BACK ON THE INVERSION TABLE
To rotate back on the inversion table, slowly lift your
arms over your head until you reach the desired posi
tion. The speed at which you lift your arms will determine how quickly the inversion table will rotate. Rest
your arms in a comfortable position without causing
the inversion table to rotate.
To lock the backrest in the fully inverted position, it
may be necessary to push against the floor or the
Rear Frame (6) for the last few degrees, so that the
Backrest Frame (1) rests against the crossbar on the
Front Frame (5). The weight of your body will then lock
the inversion table in the fully inverted position.
-
ROTATING UP ON THE INVERSION TABLE
To return to the starting position, bend your knees
slightly and slowly move your hands toward your waist
until you rotate toward a horizontal position. Rest in a
horizontal position for 30 to 60 seconds before rotating
to the starting position. This will allow your body to
readjust. Return to the starting position slowly.
Dizziness after using the inversion table is an indication
that you have returned to the starting position too
quickly.
To rotate up from the fully inverted position, hold the
corner of the Backrest Frame (1) behind your head
with one hand, and the bottom of the Rear Frame (6)
with the other hand. Pull the Backrest Frame toward
the Rear Frame.
from the fully inserted position. Rotate up as described
above.
Do not try to sit up or use the Handles (9, 21) to
return to the starting position.
This will release the Backrest Frame
12
DEVELOPING A PROGRAM
This section contains information and suggestions about using the inversion table. Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the inversion table is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. See the ADJUST-
MENTS section starting on page 10 of this manual to identify parts referred to in this section.
ETTING THE MOST OUT OF USING THE INVER-
G
SION TABLE
If you feel nauseated whilst using the inversion table,
return to the starting position. Note that it may take a
few weeks of use for your inner ear to become accustom to being inverted.
Do not use the inversion table right after you have
eaten.
Moving whilst using the inversion table may make it a
more comfortable experience, and may help joints and
muscles stretch and relax. Always move in a slow, controlled manner.
The greater the angle at which the inversion table is
used, the shorter the time that you should rotate back
before rotating up. Increase the amount of inverted time
and the angle of use gradually.
Always pay attention to how your body feels as you use
the inversion table. Increase the level of intensity only
as it is comfortable for you. When you feel like you have
had enough, return to the starting position.
BEGINNER PROGRAM
The following are suggestions for persons who are just
starting to use the inversion table.
NTERMEDIATE PROGRAM
I
The following are suggestions for persons who have
become comfortable using the inversion table as
described under the BEGINNER PROGRAM.
Increase the angle to which the inversion table can
rotate, as it is comfortable. Adjust the Strap (17) to
allow the inversion table to rotate to up to 60°, a few
degrees at a time.
Start to do gentle stretching whilst using the inversion
table.
Gradually increase the amount of time that you use
the inversion table to 10 minutes or more, two or three
times a day. Routines can be varied from rotating back
for one or two minutes and then up for 30 seconds, to
rotating back and up for equal amounts of time.
FULL INVERSION PROGRAM
The following are suggestions for persons who have
become comfortable using the inversion table as
described under the INTERMEDIATE PROGRAM and
desire to rotate to greater angles, or to do sit-ups.
Note that all the benefits of inversion can be gained by
rotating to 60°. Do not attempt to do sit-ups unless
the Backrest Frame is locked in the fully inverted
position.
Set the Strap (17) to allow the Backrest Frame (1) to
or less for the first one or two weeks. This
rotate to 20
will allow the body time to adjust to the change in
gravitational pull.
Use the inversion table for one or two minutes at a
time, two or three times a day.
Stay inverted for only as long as it is comfortable. This
may be only a few seconds at first.
°
Increase the angle to which the inversion table can

the inversion table to rotate until it comes in contact with
the back of the crossbar on the Front Frame (5).
Adjust the Pivot Bars (23) so that the pin on the
Backrest Frame (1) is in the top hole (see
SELECTING THE PIVOT BAR POSITION on page
10). If the user weighs 99 kg (220 lbs.) or more, adjust
the pin to the centre hole in the Pivot Bars. Rotate
back and up as described on page 12.
