ADJUSTING THE FRONT AND RUBBER REAR HEEL HOLDERS
1. Pull up on the Adjustable Instep Frame Knob (40), slide the Adjustable Instep Frame (5)
completely out of the Adjustable Boom (3).
2. Slide your ankles between the Front and Rubber Rear Heel Holders (13, 14) and stand on the
Foot Bar (4) located at the bottom of the Adjustable Boom (3).
3. Pull up on the Adjustable Instep Frame Knob (40), allow the Adjustable Instep Frame (5) to slide
back into the Adjustable Boom (3). Push in slightly on the Adjustable Instep Frame (5) until the
Front and Rubber Rear Heel Holders (13, 14) are around your ankles. Release the Adjustable
Instep Frame Knob (40) and adjust the Adjustable Instep Frame (5) slightly until the Adjustable
Instep Frame Knob (40) locks into place.
4. Stand upright with your back against the backrest and your hands lowered at your sides.
The inversion table is like a very sensitively balanced fulcrum. It responds to very slight changes in
weight distribution. So, it is very important to make sure that the height is adjusted properly. To do
this, mount the inversion table, lock your ankles into the heel holders, and lie back with your hands at
your sides. Slowly place you hands across your chest. While in this position, your head should
still be above your feet. If your feet are above your head, dismount and adjust the height again.
1. Start by lying fully back on the backrest with your hands at your side, or resting on your thighs.
2. Keeping your hands close to your body begin to raise your arms slowly allowing the table to
rotate backward. Stop, or lower your arms to control the downward rotation of the table.
3. Raise your arms until they are over your head. At this point, the inversion table will be as far
back as it can go.
4. As you get more comfortable with the use, rock the backrest slowly by moving your arms up and
down slowly.
5. It is recommended that the inversion table be used for five or ten minutes each morning, and
again each evening.
6. Return to the upright position by slowly moving your hands back down to your thighs.
