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.

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.
