BEFORE YOU INVERT make sure that the
inversion table rotates smoothly to the fully inverted position
and back, and that all fasteners are secure. Make sure the
user settings described below are properly adjusted for your
unique needs and body type. Take your time nding your
proper settings and remember them. Check these settings
every time prior to using the equipment.
Roller Hinge: Find Your Setting
The Roller Hinge controls the responsiveness or rate of rotation. There are three holes;
the hole selection depends both on your body weight and the rotational responsiveness
you desire (diagram above right). For users just learning to use the inversion table, we
recommend starting with Setting C (Figure 1).
IMPORTANT: Set the Roller Hinges in the same hole setting on each side.
Height Setting: Adjust the Main Shaft
The height settings are labeled on the Main Shaft in both inches and centimeters.
• Loosen the De-Rattler Knob.
• Pull out the Height-Selector Locking Pin with your right hand while sliding the
Main Shaft with your left (Figure 2).
• Slide the Main Shaft until the last setting you can read is one inch greater than
your height. e.g. If you’re 5’10” (178 cm) the last numbers you’ll be able to read
will be 5’11” (180 cm).
NOTE: The best height setting for you will depend on your weight distribution and
could vary one or two inches on either side of your actual height. Starting at one or two
inches more than your height will help to ensure that the rotation of the table is not too fast.
• Release the Height-Selector Locking Pin so that it fully engages in a hole. Re-tighten
the De-Rattler Knob (optional).
Angle Tether: Adjust to Desired Angle
For rst time users, attach the Angle Tether to help control your angle of rotation (Figure 3).
You can increase the angle of rotation allowed by the Angle Tether as you become more
comfortable using the table, or remove it all together for full inversion.
Ankle Comfort Dial: Find Your Setting
The Ankle Comfort Dial can rotate into a High or Low setting (Figure 4). There is a one inch
height difference between the settings. The setting you select will vary by the type of shoes
you wear and your ankle type. Try inverting in both settings to determine which one is most
comfortable for you.
The Ankle Comfort Dial should be set so the ankle clamps are secure around the smallest
part of the ankles (with minimal distance between the ankle clamp and the top of your foot);
this will reduce sliding on the Table Bed while inverted.
Prepare to Mount
•
ALWAYS
wear securely tied, lace up shoes with a at sole, such as a tennis shoe.
• DO NOT wear shoes with thick soles, boots, high-tops or any shoe that extends above
the ankle bone, as this type of footwear could interfere with properly securing your ankles.

Figure 10
Securing Your Ankles
• Stand with your back to the Table Bed - do not use the inversion table face-down.
• Step over the Main Shaft, placing your feet on the oor on either side. To balance
yourself, rest only your lower body against the Table Bed as you slide one ankle at a
time between the ankle clamps onto the Ankle Comfort Dial. Be sure to slide your ankle
in from the side (Figure 5); DO NOT insert your foot through the ankle clamps as you
would slide your foot into a shoe. Your feet should always be either on the oor or
on the Ankle Comfort Dial; never use any other part of the inversion table as a step
(Figure 6 and 7).
• Press your ankles back rmly against the rear ankle clamps.
• Rotate the top of the rear clamps slightly inward toward your ankles, this will increase
your comfort while inverting.
• Pull the T-Pin Lock out to allow the front ankle clamps to snap closed against your
ankles (Figure 8). Make sure your pant legs do not interfere with obtaining a secure
closure.
• Adjust the front ankle clamps to make sure both the front and rear ankle clamps are
snug against your ankles. Release the T-Pin Lock so that it fully engages a hole setting
(Figure 9).
• If the T-Pin Lock does not automatically engage in a hole (Figure 10), push the front
ankle clamps inward until the pin engages fully in the next tightest hole setting. Verify
that no part of your footwear or garments touch or interfere with the T-Pin Lock in any
way during inversion.
• Use the concept of HEAR, FEEL, SEE every time you secure your ankles: HEAR the
Locking Pin click into place; FEEL the Locking Pin to make sure it is fully engaged in a
hole setting; SEE that there is NO space between the Locking Pin and its base.
Test Your Balance Setting
The inversion table is sensitively balanced, and it responds to very small changes in weight
distribution. As a result, you must always test to make sure you have the correct height
setting. Ensure that there is clearance to rotate in front, above and behind you. To begin,
rest your head on the bed and slowly place your arms on your chest.
• If your head is lower than your feet, lengthen the height setting by one hole and
test again.
• If your feet do not move at all, shorten the height setting by one hole and test again.
• If the table comes to rest with your feet lifted a few inches off the A-frame, then you
have found the correct balance setting (Figure 11).
This is an important step - spend the time needed to nd your correct balance setting.
Your setting should remain the same as long as your weight does not uctuate substantially.
WARNING
!
For your rst few inversion sessions, ask a spotter to assist you until
you are comfortable with the operation of the inversion table.

WARNING
!
To reduce tipping hazard, conne all inverted activities to smooth movements.
Aggressive exercises that involve vigorous body movement can cause the table
to tip over, resulting in serious injury or death!
Inverting
When correctly balanced, the table will rotate in response to simple arm movements. To
invert, lift your arms overhead slowly and to return upright, bring your arms back to your
sides. Your arms provide the weight needed to rotate the table. (Figure 12).
To ensure the inversion table does not rotate too far, too quickly:
• Set the Roller Hinges to Setting “C” (as explained on pg.2);
• Attach the Angle Tether to the underside of the table and test to maximum rotation;
• Raise one arm at a time, and do so very slowly (the faster you move, the faster the
inversion table will rotate).
Returning Upright
To return to the upright position, put your arms at your sides. Since your body may have
lengthened or shifted on the Table Bed during inversion, you may need to bend your knees to
shift your body weight to the foot side of the pivot point. DO NOT lift your head or try to sit up
(Figure 13).
Full Inversion
Denition: Hanging completely upside down by your ankles with your back free from the
table. DO NOT attempt this step until you are comfortable with partial inversion.
• Disconnect the AngleTether.
• Set the Roller Hinges in the top hole setting “A” if you want the table to “lock” rmly
while inverted. If you are 220 lbs (100 kg) or more, set the Roller Hinges in the
“B” hole setting.
• From a balanced position on the table, slowly raise both hands over your head to begin
rotation. You may need to assist the last few degrees of rotation by pushing on the oor
or A-frame until the table pulls away from your back (Figure 14). In your correct balance
setting, your weight will keep the table “locked” in this position until you are ready to
return upright.
To Release from the Inverted “Locked” Position:
• Place one hand on the top of the Table Bed behind your head and place the other hand
on the base of the A-frame in front of you.
• Pull both hands together (Figure 15). This will rotate the table out of the “locked”
position. Slowly move your arms and elbows to your sides to complete the rotation.
USE CAUTION: Elbows protruding over the sides of the Table Bed could get pinched
between the A-frame and the Table Bed as you return upright (Figure 16).
It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the proper use of the equipment
and the inherent risks of inversion, such as falling on your head or neck,
pinching, entrapment or equipment failure.
DO NOT use the inversion table until you have thoroughly and carefully read the
Owner’s Manual, reviewed all accompanying documents and inspected the equipment.
ALWAYS test and inspect the equipment for smooth operation prior to each use.

entrapment or equipment failure. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS OR
HEED WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Restrictions on Use

•We recommend only using the Gravity Boots with properly installed and tested
Teeter Hang Ups products, which are designed specically for inversion and for
use with Gravity Boots.
•
DO NOT use Gravity Boots with the specic models of Teeter Hang Ups Inversion
Tables until you have replaced the ankle clamps with the Conversion Bar.
• DO NOT use Gravity Boots with a bar that is not secure to at least four times your

the same time then pull down vigorously.
•DO NOT use Gravity Boots with a bar that exceeds 1.25” (3.2 cm) in diameter.
The bar must sit loosely at the base of the hook. Bars that are too large will stress
