BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Thank you for selecting the WESLO®INVERSION FLEX SYSTEM bench. The INVERSION FLEX SYSTEM bench will increase your intervertebral dimension, decrease pressure on intervertebral discs, stretch and relax your muscles, and temporarily relieve back pain associated with the listed conditions.

For your benefit, read this manual carefully before using the INVERSION FLEX SYSTEM bench. If you

have additional questions, please call our Customer Service Department toll-free at 1-800-999-3756,

Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time (excluding holidays). To help us assist you, please note the product model number and serial number before calling. The model number is WLBE13320. The serial number can be found on a decal attached to the bench (see the front cover of this manual).

Before beginning assembly, carefully read the following information and instructions:

• Assembly requires two people.

• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless

instructed to do otherwise.

The following tools (not included) are required for assembly:

• Two adjustable wrenches
