Teeter Hang Ups NXT-R Owner's Manual

INVERTING
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 Rotation Adjustment to Setting "C" (as explained on pg. 2);
• Attach the Tether Strap 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.
or try to sit up (Figure 13).
Full Inversion
Definition: 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.
!
WARNING
To reduce tipping hazard, confine 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!
• Disconnect the Tether Strap.
• Set the Rotation Adjustment in the top hole setting "A" if you want the table to "lock"
firmly while inverted. If you are 220 lbs (100 kg) or more, set the Rotation Adjustment
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 floor
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 bottom bar 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).

as falling on your head or neck, pinching, entrapment or equipment failure.
