Assembly
Step 1.
A. Stand the base of the machine by
separating the U-frames (1,2). Pull the Front
and Rear U-Frames (1,2) as far apart from each
other as possible. Then push down on the
middle of the two Folding Arms until they are
fully locked down.
B. Slide one Protective Cover (3) on to each
side of the base, as shown: pull down on the
covers until the bottom of the Covers are
slightly lower than the Folding Arms. Use the
Velcro straps on the bottom of the covers to
secure the Covers to the Folding Arms. When
the covers are assembled correctly, the folding
arms should be fully covered by the protective
cover.
Step 2.
Slide the bottom of the Pivot Arms (6) into
the brackets located at each side of the Bed
Frame(5). Align to the desired hole on the arm
with the peg on the bracket. Insert the peg
into the hole to lock the pivot arm in place. It
is recommended that you use the bottom hole
on the pivot arm until you become more
familiar with the equipment.
Step 3.
Attach the safety bracket (7) to the Pivot ARM
(6).
B. Mount the Frame to the Rear U-Frame (2)
by inserting the ends of the Pivot Arms (6)
into the channels on the plates. The slotted
portion of the rollers, on the end of the Pivot
arms, should be inserted into the channels on
the plates.
C. Attach the Rear U-Frame(2) and Foam Grip
(4) by using Hex Head Bolt (16,15). Fix Washer
(21) and Lock Nut (20 21) as per diagram.
Step 4.
A. Put the Up foot holder rod (9) through the
large hole of the Height Adjustable Beam(8):
both sides should be the same length. Lock
with screw (16) and Washer (21) on the Height
Adjustable Beam (8). Now, attach one Heel
Holder (14) to one end of the Rod (9). Do trhe
same on the other end of the rod.
B. Attach the adjustable instep Frame (10)
from down to up with the Foot Adjustment
Rod (12) b using Washer (22) and Lock Nut
(19).

Step 5.
A. Slide the Foot Bar (11) Into the bottom of
the Height Adjustable Beam (8)and align two
of the holes on the Foot bar with the two
holes on the boom. Secure the foot bar in
place using a Hex Head Bolt (18), a lock
Nut(20), and one Washer(21).
B. Attach the Height Adjustable Beam (8) to
the Bed Frame (5) by using knob (24) and
TAB bolt (23).
C. For added safety, lock the TAB bolt (23).
Step 6.
Attach Safety Strap (25) A side to the
Inversion Table by hooking the end of the
Strap (A) to the triangle hook on the back of
the Bed Frame(2) as shown. Now hook the
other end of Strap (B) to the other triangle
hook on the Front U-Frame (1) as shown.

Operation
The inversion table is like a sensitively-balanced fulcrum. It responds to very
slight changes in weight distribution. So it is very important to make sure that
the height is adjusted properly. To do this, mount the machine, lock your ankles
into the heel holders, and lie back with your hands at your sides. Slowly place
you hands across you chest. While in this position, your head should still be
above your feet. If your feet are above your head, dismount and adjust the
height again.
How to use
1.Start by lying fully back on the table with your hands at your side, or resting
on your thighs.
2.Keeping your hands close to your body, begin to raise your arms slowly,
allowing the table to rotate backward. Stop, or lower your arms to control the
downward rotation of the table.
3.Raise your arms until they are over your head. At this point, the inversion
table will be as far back as it can go.
4.As you get more comfortable, move the table gently by moving your arms up
and down slowly.
5.It is recommended that the inversion table be used for five or ten minutes
each morning, and again each evening.
6.Return to the upright position by slowly moving your hands back down to
your thighs.

Suggestions for use
• Begin slowly: invert only 15-20 degrees to begin with. Stay inverted only as
long as you are comfortable. Return upright slowly.
• Make gradual changes: increase the angle only if it is comfortable. Increase
angle only a few degrees at a time. Increase the time of use 1-2 minutes up to
10 over a period of weeks. Add stretching and light exercise only after you are
comfortable with inversion.
• Watch your body: come up slowly, dizziness after a session means you came
up too fast. Wait a while after eating before using table. Come up immediately
if you feel nauseous.
• Keep moving: movement while inverted encourages blood, circulation.
Movement may be accomplished by either rhythmic traction or light exercise.
Do not exercise strenuously while inverted. Limit partial inversion without
movement to one or two minutes. Limit full inversion with no movement to only
a few seconds.
• Invert regularly: two or three times a day is best, depending upon your
current condition. Try to schedule it for the same time each day.

Locking the bed
When the inversion table rotates past the vertical inverted position, the bed
becomes locked and will not return to the upright position in the usual way.
The locked position allows you to hang straight upside-down completely free of
the bed. This position allows you to enjoy ail of the benefits of a handstand,
with none of the discomforts. It also allows you to do exercises such as the
waistband.
To get into the locked position, adjust the pivot arms so the studs go through
the top holes, and then mount and use normally. When your arms are
completely extended above your head, the bed will rotate all the way to the
locked position.
To recover from the locked position, simply grab the handlebars and pull on
them while pushing back on the heel holders with your legs. If you can not
reach the handlebars, you can still recover by grabbing the back of the bed
with one hand, the rear u-frame with the other, and pulling your hands together.
