Stability Feet are on the ground.
• Gently push down on the Spreader Arms to ensure they are fully open and in the “locked”
position (Figure 1).
• Familiarize yourself with the Front, Back, Left and Right of the A-Frame. You may want
to refer back to this diagram for reference throughout the assembly process.

STEP 2 Handle Assembly
Based on your model, the assembly in this step will differ.
For users with the EP-550/650, assemble the Tri-Grip Handles
•Locate the Tri-Grip Handle Assembly Hardware Kit, which contains the hardware that is
required for the assembly detailed in this step.
• Determine the left or right Handles, marked with an embossed L / R on the inside of the
black plastic part of each handle.
• Align the black plastic part of the corresponding handle (left / right) over the outside edge of
the Hinge Plate on the A-Frame (Figure 2).
• Insert and loosely hand-tighten three of the Allen Head Bolts through the Hinge Plate into the
inside of the handle (Figure 3).
• Repeat with other handle. Fully tighten all fasteners, using the tools provided.
For users with EP-850 or EP-950 Models, assemble the Over-EZ™Handles
• Locate the Over-EZ™Handle Assembly Hardware Kit, which contains the hardware that is
required for the assembly detailed in this step. The 10/13mm Open-Ended Wrenches are
located in the Roller Hinge packaging.
• Insert the two Double-Threaded Bolts through the base of the Left Handle (marked with an
“L”) and hand tighten on the outside with the nuts provided (Figure 4).
• Line up and insert the opposite end of the bolts through the corresponding 1/3” holes on
the outside of the hinge plate (Figure 4). Loosely tighten with nuts, then use the wrenches
provided to tighten both sets of nuts, being careful not to over tighten. Repeat with Right
Handle.
• For users with EP-950: Place each Hinge Plate Cover over the outside edge of the
corresponding handle. Line up and insert the Bolts through the smaller 1/4” holes in the
hinge plate (Figure 4A). Use the wrenches provided to tighten the nuts, being careful not
to over tighten.

• Locate the Table Bed Assembly Hardware Kit, which contains the hardware that is required
for the assembly detailed in this step.
• Place the Table Bed face down on the floor and push down on the Support Beam, so the
two holes align evenly with the holes at the base of the Upper Support Arms (Figure 5).
You may have to exert extra pressure to ensure that the Support Beam slides over the
rubber spacers.
• Insert the two Bolts into the open holes (Figure 6).
• Thread a Washer and Nut onto each Bolt and handtighten.
• Using the 6mm Allen Wrench to steady the bolts, tighten the Nuts onto the Bolts with the
10/13mm Open-Ended Wrench.

STEP 4 Roller Hinge Assembly
Based on your model, the item(s) used for this step will differ but the assembly process remains the same.

• Familiarize yourself with the Roller Hinge and Cam Lock terms detailed below in Figure 7.
• For ease of assembly, rest the Table Bed against the Crossbar (Figure 8) at the front of the
A-Frame.
• On one side of the Table Bed, lift the Cam Lock up all the way to unlock (Figure 9).
• In your other hand, hold one 3-Hole Roller Hinge at the Pivot Pin. With the Pivot Pin facing out
(away from the Table Bed), slide the bottom of the Roller Hinge between the Cam Lock and the
Bracket.
TIP: Make sure that the Cam Lock is completely open when inserting the Roller Hinge, otherwise
assembly will be more difficult.
• Engage one of the holes in the Roller Hinge over the Bracket Pin. Figure 10 shows the Roller
Hinge installed correctly, with the Bracket Pin engaged in Setting C.
NOTE: Refer to the Owner’s Manual for an explanation of the hole settings. If you are unsure, use
Setting C to start.
• Push down on the Cam Lock to lock it and secure the Roller Hinge.
• Repeat on other side. Make sure the Roller Hinges are in the same hole setting on both sides.

• Pick up the Table Bed, holding each side near the Roller Hinges, and stand in front of the
A-Frame where the Crossbar is located (refer to Figure 3 to determine A-Frame Front).
• Lower each Roller Hinge Pivot Pin into the A-Frame hinge plates, one side at a time
(Figure 11 and 12).
NOTE: You may need to push outward on the A-Frame in order for the 2nd Pivot Pin to
lock in place.
• Make sure that each Pivot Pin is seated at the base of the slot of the Hinge Plate (Figure
13).
• Ensure that the Self-Locking Hooks have closed over both Pivot Pins, and that the Table
Bed rotates smoothly.

STEP 6 Assembling the Main Shaft
Based on your model, the item(s) used for this step will differ but the assembly process remains the same.
• Loosen the De-Rattler Knob.
• Facing the front of the A-Frame, hold the Main Shaft in your left hand with the height
markings facing up. Slide the end of the Main Shaft into the Main Shaft Housing (Figure
14), located at the base of the Table Bed.
• With your right hand, pull out the Height-Selector Locking Pin (Figure 15) to allow the Main
Shaft to slide in further and release in the desired height setting. Refer to the Owner’s
Manual for more information on selecting your height setting.
• The Main Shaft MUST REST against the Crossbar of the A-Frame (Figure 16).
IMPORTANT: The Crossbar prevents the Table Bed from rotating forward when the user
steps on the Ankle Comfort Dial. If the Main Shaft does not rest on the Crossbar as shown
in Figure 16, then the Table Bed has been assembled backwards onto the A-Frame.
This MUST BE CORRECTED before use.
• Test the inversion table by hand for smooth and steady rotation (Figure 17) and ensure that
all fasteners are secure.
• Tighten the De-Rattler Knob.
For users with the EP-550 Sport model, follow the Conversion Bar
Assembly & User Instructions enclosed in this packet.

WARNING
!

Attach the Angle Tether (OPTIONAL)
• The tether will come pre-assembled to the A-Frame.
• Unfold the adjustable tether and clip it to the U-Bar on the underside of the Table Bed
(Figure 18).
• Refer to the Owner’s Manual for guidance with pre-setting your angle of rotation.
Attach the Head Pillow (OPTIONAL)
• Attach the Head Pillow by securing the Velcro Straps through the holes in the Table Bed
(Figure 19). The position of the pillow can be adjusted depending on the user.
STEP 9 Attach the Accessories

FIGURE 19

Attach the Owner’s Manual
The Owner’s Manual contains important information on how to use your Teeter Hang Ups
Inversion Table, including how to personalize the user settings, properly secure and release
the Ankle Lock System, and test and adjust the rotation control.
• If not already attached, thread the provided metal chain through the pre-punched hole in the
upper corner of the Owner’s Manual.
• Secure the chain to the A-Frame through the designated hole in the Hinge Plate
(Figure 20 & 20a). Allow the Owner’s Manual to hang freely on the outside of the A-Frame
Spreader Arms so it doesn’t interfere with the rotation of the Table Bed.
IMPORTANT: Once attached to the A-Frame, do not remove the Owner’s Manual. It should
remain permanently attached to your inversion table to serve as a reference for all users in
regards to proper adjustment and use of the equipment.
Review the Use Instruction section of your DVD
• The Use Instruction section of your DVD provides guidance on how to properly adjust, use
and become acclimated to inversion.
WARNING
!
Read the Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using your Teeter Hang Ups
Inversion Table. Improper settings could result in serious injury or death!
