ADJUSTMENT
This section explains how to adjust the inversion table. See DEVELOPING A PROGRAM on page 13 for important information about how to get the most benefit from using the inversion table.
ake sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the inversion table is used. Replace any worn parts imme-
M
diately. The table can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent; do not use solvents.
SELECTING A PIVOT BAR POSITION
See the inset drawing. The Pivot Bars (23) have
three adjustment holes. The correct hole to use
depends on your body weight and the desired level of
responsiveness. See the chart at the right to determine which hole to use. For example, if you weigh
between 120 and 220 pounds and you are a beginner,
the chart recommends that you use hole C.
To adjust the Pivot Bars (23), first see assembly step
10 on page 8 and remove the Wingnuts (46) and the
Covers (11, 12).
Next, lift a Pulley (29) out of a Saddle Plate (not
shown). Move the Pivot Bar (23) so that the pin on the
Backrest Frame (1) is in the desired adjustment hole.
Then, slide the Pulley back into the slot in the Saddle
Plate. Adjust the other Pivot Bar in the same way.
See assembly step 10 on page 8. Reattach the
Covers (11, 12) with the Wingnuts (46).
Try the inversion table with the Pivot Bars (23) adjusted to each position to find which one is best for you.

table from becoming inverted more than desired. To
adjust the Chain, first remove it from the Clip (32) on
the Backrest Frame (1). Rotate the Backrest (2) to the
most inverted position to which you want it to move.
Then, have a second person tighten the Chain and
reattach it to the Clip on the Backrest Frame.
For the first week or two of use, adjust the Chain (17)
to stop the Backrest (2) from rotating more than 15 to
20 degrees. Lengthen the Chain to allow the Backrest
to rotate a few more degrees as you become accustomed to using the inversion table.

ROTATING ON THE INVERSION TABLE
This section explains how to rotate back on the inversion table, and return to the starting position. Always exercise with a partner who is ready to assist you. See the ADJUSTMENT section starting on page 9 to identify
parts referred to in this section.
SETTING UP AND USING THE INVERSION TABLE
Before using the inversion table, adjust the Pivot Bars
(23), the Adjustment Leg (3), and the Cain (17) to the
correct settings for you. Secure your ankles in the
Ankle Lock (16).
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 position. 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 the 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 to 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. This will release the Backrest Frame
from the fully inverted position. Rotate up as described
above.
Do not try to sit up or use the Handlebars (9, 21) to
return to the starting position.
12
DEVELOPING A PROGRAM
This section contains information and suggestions about using the inversion table. Make sure that all parts are
properly tightened each time the inversion table is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. See the ADJUST-
MENT section starting on page 9 to identify parts referred to in this section.
BENEFITING FROM USING THE INVERSION TABLE
If you feel nauseated while 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 while 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.
Set the Chain (17) to allow the Backrest Frame (1) to
rotate to 20 degrees or less for the first one or two
weeks. This 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.
INTERMEDIATE PROGRAM
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 Chain (17) to
allow the inversion table to rotate to up to 60 degrees,
a few degrees at a time.
Start to do gentle stretching while using the inversion
table.
Gradually increase the amount of time that you use
the inversion table to ten 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 degrees. Do not attempt to do sit-ups
unless the Backrest Frame is locked in the fully
inverted position.
Increase the angle to which the inversion table can
rotate, as it is comfortable. Adjust the Chain (17) to
allow the inversion table to rotate until it comes in contact with the back of the crossbar on the Front Frame
(5).
Stay inverted only for as long as it is comfortable. This
may be only a few seconds at first.
Adjust the Pivot Bars (23) so that the pin on the
Backrest Frame (1) is in the top hole (see
SELECTING A PIVOT BAR POSITION on page 9). If
the user weighs 220 pounds or more, adjust the pin to
the center hole in the Pivot Bars. Rotate back and up
as described on page 12.
