ASSEMBLY
Step One
Assemble the A-frame Base
(EP-1100) and Install the
Handles (GL-9518, GL-9522)
and Shrouds (GL-9524)
• Open the A-frame and make sure
the spreader arms are locked.
Rest the A-frame on the floor
(Figure 1). The Crossbar is at the
front.
• Insert two double threaded bolts
(GL-9523) through the base of
the Left Handle (marked with
an “L”) and hand tighten on the
outside with the nuts provided.
(See Figure 2) Line up and insert
the opposite end of the bolts
through the corresponding 1/3”
holes on the outside of the hinge
plate. Loosely tighten with nuts,
then use the wrenches provided
to tighten both sets of nuts,
being careful not to over tighten.
Repeat with the Right Handle.
• Place each shroud over the
outside edge of the corresponding
handle. Line up and insert the
shroud bolts (GL-9525) through
the smaller 1/4” holes in the
hinge plate (See Figure 2). Use
the wrenches provided to tighten
the nuts, being careful not to over
tighten.

Step Two
Attach the Upper Support
Arms to the Table Bed
(EP-1141)
• Before following this step, make
sure you have read the orange
insert that came attached to the
Table Bed.
• Place the Table Bed face down
on the floor and push down on
the Support Beam, so the two
holes align evenly with holes
at the base of Upper Support
Arms (Figure 3). You may have
to exert extra pressure to ensure
the Support Beam slides over the
rubber spacers.
• Insert the two bolts (EP-1149)
through the rubber spacers and
into the open holes.
• Fasten each bolt with a nut.
• Use the Allen Wrench to steady
(EP-1150) the bolts, tighten the
nut onto the bolt with the larger
wrench (F5-1088) (Figure 4).
Repeat with the second bolt.

Step Three
Install the Roller Hinges
(TR-1001) onto the Table Bed
(EP-1140)
• For ease-of-assembly, rest the
Table Bed against the side of the
A-frame (Figure 5).
• Open the Cam Locks on each side
of the Table Bed (Figure 5A).
• With the Pivot Pins facing
outward, insert the Roller Hinges
into the brackets on each side of
the Table Bed. The Roller Hinges
must slide between the Cam
Locks and the brackets.
• Make sure the Roller Hinges are
in the same hole setting on both
sides. Figure 6 shows the Roller
Hinges engaged correctly in
setting C.
• Push down on the Cam Locks
(Figure 6A) to secure the hinges.
NOTE: Refer to the Owner’s
Manual for an explanation of the
hole settings. If you are unsure,
use setting C to start.

ASSEMBLY
Step Four
Attach the Table Bed
(EP-1140) to the
A-frame (EP-1100)
• Holding each side near the
Roller Hinges, pick up the
Table Bed and stand at the
front of the A-frame where
the Crossbar is located. Lower
each Pivot Pin into the A-frame
hinge plates one at a time
(Figure 7). You may need to
push outward on the A-frame
in order to slide the second
Pivot Pin into the hinge. Figure
9 shows the correct placement
of the Pivot Pin into the hinge
plate.
• Make sure that both Pivot Pins
are seated at the base of the
slot in the hinge plate. Check
to make sure that the self-
locking hooks have closed over
both Pivot Pins (Figure 9), and
the table rotates smoothly.
WARNING
!
Failure of the self-locking hooks to close over both Pivot Pins is indication of
improper assembly and if not corrected, could result in serious injury or death!

ASSEMBLY
Step Five
Insert the Main Shaft (IA-1107) into
the Table Bed (EP-1140)
• Loosen the De-rattler knob on the Main
Shaft Housing.
• With the height adjustment settings on
the Main Shaft facing up, slide the end
of the Main Shaft into the Main Shaft
Housing on the Table Bed.
• Pull out the height-selector locking pin
to allow the Main Shaft to slide in
farther (Figure 10). For the purpose of
easy assembly, slide in the Main Shaft
and release the pin in the last height
setting (Refer to the Owner’s Manual
for proper height adjustment before
use).
NOTE: The De-rattler knob is an
optional accessory that helps prevent
a slight shift in the table when you
invert. The security of the product is
not compromised if you choose not to
tighten the knob.
• The Main Shaft must rest against the
Crossbar of the A-frame
(Figure 11). The Crossbar prevents
the table from rotating forward when
the user steps on the Foot Platform.
If the Main Shaft does not rest on the
Crossbar as shown in Figure 11 then
the Table Bed has been assembled
backwards onto the A-frame and this
must be corrected before use.

and slide the Ankle Bar over the
ratchet housing into the slot
(Figure 12).
• Align the bolt holes. Insert the
Bolt Sleeve through the holes
and secure with the Sleeve
Screw (Figure 13).Position one

Screw and one on the Bolt
Sleeve to tighten.
• Slide the Foam Rollers over each
side of the Ankle Bar (Figure 14).
• Insert the Black Plugs into both
ends of the Ankle Bar (Figure
14).

Main Shaft, and attach the
nut with the wrenches (F5-
1088) provided (Figure 16).

Step Nine
Attach the EZ-Angle Tether Strap
(F5-1008) to Limit the Degree of
Rotation
• Hook the clip at the end of the tether
strap to the loop at the base of the
table bed (Figure 20) to limit your
degree of rotation.
• See the Owner’s Manual insert for
further instructions on adjusting the
strap.

CHANGING THE ROLLER HINGE SETTING
• Stand with your legs on either side of the Main
Shaft.
• Reach under each Roller Hinge with your index
fingers. Use your thumbs to release the locks over
the Roller Hinges (See Figure 21).
• Lift both sides of the table out of the A-frame at
the same time. You may rest the table on the
Crossbar of the A-frame.
• Unlock the Cam Locks for each Roller Hinge.
Change the Roller Hinges to the desired setting (A,
B or C) (Figure 22).
• Re-lock the Cam Locks. Replace the Roller Hinges
into the hinge plates of the A-frame.
MAINTENANCE
• To clean the Table Bed, wipe down with a damp
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
STORING THE INVERSION TABLE
• Loosen the De-rattler knob.
• Pull the height-selector locking pin and slide the
Main Shaft in all the way to the final hole setting.
