READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE INVERSION TABLE

FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

To reduce the risk of injury:

• Read and understand all the instructions, review all other accompanying documents, and inspect the equipment before using the

inversion table. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the proper use of this equipment and the inherent risks of

inversion if these instructions are not followed, such as falling on your head or neck, pinching, entrapment, equipment failure, or

aggravating a pre-existing medical condition. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the product are fully

informed about the proper use of the equipment and all safety precautions.

• DO NOT use until approved by a licensed physician. Inversion is contraindicated in any medical or health condition that may be

made more severe by an elevation of blood pressure, intracranial pressure or mechanical stress of the inverted position, or that may

impact your ability to operate the equipment. This may include injury or illness, but also the side effects of any drug or supplement

(prescribed or over-the-counter). Specific conditions may include, but not be limited to:

· Any condition, neurological or otherwise, which results in unexplained tingling, weakness or neuropathy, seizure, sleep disorder,

lightheadedness, dizziness, disorientation, or fatigue, or impacts strength, mobility, alertness, or cognitive ability;

· Any brain condition, such as trauma, history of intracranial bleed, history or risk of TIA or stroke, or severe headaches;

· Any condition of the heart or circulatory system, such as high blood pressure, hypertension, increased risk of stroke, or use of

anticoagulants (including high doses of aspirin);

· Any bone, skeletal or spinal cord condition or injury, such as significant spinal curvature, acutely swollen joints, osteoporosis,

fractures, dislocations, medullary pins or surgically implanted orthopedic supports;

· Any eye, ear, nasal or balance condition, such as trauma, history of retinal detachment, glaucoma, optic hypertension, chronic

sinusitis, middle or inner ear disease, motion sickness, or vertigo;

· Any digestive or internal condition, such as severe acid reflux, hiatal or other hernia, gallbladder or kidney disease;

· Any condition for which exercise is specifically directed, limited or prohibited by a physician, such as pregnancy, obesity,

or recent surgery.

• ALWAYS be certain the Ankle Lock System is properly adjusted and fully engaged, and that your ankles are secure before using the

equipment. HEAR, FEEL, SEE and TEST that the Ankle Lock System is snug, close-fitting and secure EVERY TIME you use

the equipment.

• ALWAYS wear securely tied lace-up shoes with a flat sole, such as a normal tennis-style shoe.

• DO NOT wear any footwear that could interfere with securing the Ankle Lock System, such as shoes with thick soles, boots, or any

shoe that extends above the anklebone.

• DO NOT use the inversion table until it is adjusted properly for your height and body weight. Improper settings can cause rapid

inversion or make returning upright difficult. New users, and users who are physically or mentally compromised, will require the

assistance of a spotter. Make sure the equipment is set to your unique user settings prior to each use.

• DO NOT sit up or raise head to return upright. Instead, bend knees and slide your body to the foot-end of the inversion table to

change weight distribution. If locked out in full inversion, follow the instructions for releasing from the locked position before

returning upright.

• DO NOT continue using the equipment if you feel pain or become light-headed or dizzy while inverting. Immediately return to the

upright position for recovery and eventual dismount.

• DO NOT use if you are over 198 cm / 6 ft 6 in or over 136 kg (300 lb). Structural failure could occur or head / neck may impact the

floor during inversion.

table is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, unless they are given supervision

and instruction concerning use of the machine by a person responsible for their safety.

• DO NOT store the inversion table upright if children are present. Fold and lay the table on the floor. DO NOT store outdoors.

• DO NOT use aggressive movements, or use weights, elastic bands, any other exercise or stretching device or non-Teeter

attachments while on the inversion table. Use the inversion table only for its intended use as described in this manual.
