# 1 User’s Manual
PART LIST—Model No. WEEVBE13340 R0505A
1. Read all instructions in this manual before
using the inversion table. Use the inversion
table only as described in this manual.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the inversion table are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.
3. The inversion table is intended for home use
only. Do not use the inversion table in a com-
mercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Keep the inversion table indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the inversion
table in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
5. Use the inversion table only on a level sur-
face. Cover the floor beneath the inversion
table to protect the floor.
6. Make sure all parts are properly tightened
each time you use the inversion table. Replace
any worn parts immediately.
7. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the inversion table at all times.
8. The inversion table is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 135 kg (300 lbs.).
Note: Do not use weights with the inversion
table.
9. Always wear athletic shoes with laces to help
secure your feet in the inversion table, and for
foot protection whilst exercising.
10. The inversion table should be used only by
persons 198 cm (6 ft. 6 in.) tall or less.
11. Always engage the pins on the backrest frame
into the same hole in each pivot bar.
12. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
13. Make sure the pivot bars are held in the brack-
ets on the backrest frame before using the
inversion table.
14. Always make sure the ankle lock is secured
snugly against your ankles and the short knob
is fully engaged before using the inversion
table.
15. Always make sure the linking bars are straight
across before using the inversion table.
16. Do not use the handlebars to rotate up on the
inversion table; the handlebars are for mount-
ing and dismounting the inversion table.
17. Perform all activities on the inversion table in
a slow, controlled manner. Aggressive exer-
cise can cause the inversion table to tip over.
18. Always exercise with a partner. Your partner

before using the inversion table.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
3

4
WARNING: Following is a list of factors and conditions that may make inverting inadvis-
able (this list is not exhaustive; it is intended only for reference). If one or more factors or conditions
apply to you, consult your physician before using the inversion table.
• Pregnancy
•Hiatal hernia or ventral hernia
• Glaucoma, retinal detachment, or conjunctivitis
• High blood pressure, hypertension, or recent stroke or transient ischemic attack
• Heart or circulatory disorders for which you are being treated
• Middle ear infection and extreme obesity
• Spinal injury, cerebral sclerosis, or acutely swollen joints
• Bone weakness (osteoporosis), recent unhealed fractures, medullary pins, or surgically
implanted orthopedic supports
• The use of anticoagulants, including high doses of aspirin
GETTING THE MOST OUT OF USING THE INVER-
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 accus-
tom 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, con-
trolled 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 Strap (17) to allow the Backrest Frame (1) to
rotate to 20°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.
Stay inverted for only as long as it is comfortable. This
may be only a few seconds at first.
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 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.
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 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.
This section contains information and suggestions about using the inversion table. Make sure all parts are prop-
erly 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.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Thank you for selecting the WEIDER®INVERSION
SYSTEM inversion table. The inversion table will
increase your intervertebral dimension, decrease pres-
sure 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 table. If you have questions after
reading this manual, please call our Customer Service
Department at 08457 089 009. To help us assist you,
please note the product model number and serial
number before calling. The model number is WEE-
VBE13340. The serial number can be found on a
decal attached to the inversion table (see the front
cover of this manual).
Before reading further, please review the drawing
below and familiarise yourself with the parts that are
labelled.

STORING THE INVERSION TABLE
To store the inversion table, adjust the Adjustment Leg
(3) to the shortest length (see ADJUSTING THE
ADJUSTMENT LEG on page 11). Next, adjust the
Ankle Lock (15) to the position closest to the
Adjustment Leg (see USING THE ANKLE LOCK on
page 11). Then, lift on the Linking Bars (7, 8) and fold
the Frames (5, 6) together. 3
WARNING: Always make sure the
Linking Bars (7, 8) are straight across before
using the inversion table.
This section explains how to rotate back on the inversion table and return to the starting position. It may be help-
ful 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.
ROTATING ON THE INVERSION TABLE
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 deter-
mine 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. This will release the Backrest 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.
