assembled and moved by two or more people.

STEP 2:
Install two Nut Caps (54) onto Lock Nuts (15). Slide one Protective Cover (37) on to each side of
the base as shown, and pull down on the covers until the bottom of the covers are slightly lower
than the Folding Arms (8). 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 covers with the logo on the side.

STEP 3:
Slide the bottom of the Pivot Arms (5) into the brackets, located at each side of the Bed Frame (4),
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.

Pull out the Large Spring Knob (18), and slide the Adjustable Boom (3) into the square bracket on
the bottom of the Bed Frame (4) as shown. Slide the boom upward, until the desired height on the
Height Scale (44) is just below the bracket on the bed frame. Lock the adjustable boom in place by
releasing the spring knob and sliding the boom up or down slightly until the spring knob "pops"
down into the locked position. For added safety, secure the Knob (30) into the back side of the
bracket on the bed frame as shown.

(55) with one Hex Head Bolt (38), Lock Nut (15), and two Washers (13). Attach the bottom end of
the Handlebar (29) onto the Rear U-Frame (2) with one Hex Head Bolt (43), Lock Nut (15), and two
Washers (13). Repeat above same steps to attach the other Handlebar (29) onto the Rear U-Frame
(2) and Pivot Arm Reinforcement Plate (55).

bottom of the strap lock, loop the strap (32) over the Pre-assembled Strap (33) and down through
the Strap Lock. Now, loop the strap back over itself, and insert back through the strap lock, and
pull tight to secure. See diagram.

SAFETY OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
15
Pivot arm is NOT aligned correctly.
The pivot arm is not inserted all the
way into the curved slot.
Make sure the pivot arm is inserted all the
way into the slot. Pivot arm is aligned correctly
when the groove sits directly on the curved
slot and the pivot arm is able to rotate freely.
WARNING: Please make sure both pivot arms are in the same hole to prevent serious
injury from occurring.
Incorrect Correct

For added safety, a nylon strap has been included to restrict the degree of inversion. This strap
can be adjusted to different lengths to allow for a greater or lesser degree of inversion. To
lengthen the Strap (32) feed the top end of Strap (32) into the strap lock, and pull on the lower
end of the strap. To shorten the length feed the bottom end of Strap (32) into the strap lock, and
pull on the top end. See diagram.
ADJUSTING THE BOOM
The Adjustable Boom (3) can be moved to a variety of different positions, in order to
accommodate the height of the person on the machine. To Adjust the boom loosen the knob (30),
pull out the Large Spring Knob (18), and slide the boom up or down until the desired height on
the scale decal is positioned just below the Square Bushing (26). When the boom is in the desired
position, simply release the large spring knob, slide the boom slightly up or down until the spring
knob locks into place, and tighten the Knob (30).
OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
16
SHORTEN THE STRAP LENGTHEN

PIVOT ARMS
The Pivot Arms (5) can be adjusted to allow for a greater or lesser degree of inversion. To adjust
the Pivot Arms (5) simply pull out on them until the post is out of the hole, slide them up or down
to the desired hole, push in until the post goes through the desired hole, The bottom hole
provides the least amount of inversion, while the top hole provides the greatest amount, It is
recommended that beginners use the bottom hole until they are familiar with the inversion table.
NOTE: Both Pivot Arms (5) must be adjusted to the same hole. Trying to adjust the Pivot Arms (5)
on two different positions could cause damage to the inversion table, or injury to the user.
THE HANDLEBARS
For added convenience and safety, a set of Handlebars (29) has been added to the inversion table.
These Handlebars (29) are located at the top of the Rear U-Frame (2) .The Handlebars (29) are
there to help you return to the upright position from any degree of inversion. If you wish to
return to the upright position, and the bed is moving too slowly, or not moving at all, simply grab
the Handlebars (29) and pull on them until you return to the upright position.
NOTE: The inversion table should always return to the upright position when you move your
hands below your waist. If it does not, the inversion table is probably not adjusted correctly to
your height.
* Always hold on to the handlebars and go back slowly. Failure to comply could result in serious
physical injury.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
1. Make sure that the pivot arms are locks on the lowest hole, for the first few attempts.
2. It is recommended that someone be with you while you are using this machine for the first few
times.
3. Make sure that the heel holders are holding your feet securely.
4. Make sure that the adjustable boom is properly set to your height.
5. Make sure that the adjustable boom is held securely by both the large spring knobs, and the
Knob (30).
6. Make sure that there is enough room for the bed to rotate completely.
7. Make sure to hold on to the handlebars when inverting.
ADJUSTING THE ANGLE HOLDER
1. Pull up on the Small Spring Knob (17), slide the Instep Frame (6) completely out of the Boom
(3).
2. Slide your ankles between the Heel Holders (31), and stand on the foot-bar located at the
bottom of the adjustable boom.
3. Pull up on the small spring knob, allowing the instep frame to slide back into the boom. Push in
slightly on the instep frame until the heel holders are snug around your ankles. Release the
small spring knob and adjust the instep frame slightly, until the spring knob locks into place.
4. Stand upright with your back against the bed and your hands lowered at your sides.
5. Make sure to hold on to the handlebars and go back slowly to avoid serious injury.
18

BALANCING THE INVERSION TABLE
The inversion table is like a very 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 our feet. If your feet are above your head, dismount and adjust the height
again.
USING THE INVERSION TABLE
1. Start by lying fully back on the bed 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 with the use, rock the bed slowly 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.
