Make sure the user settings described below are properly adjusted for your unique needs and body type. Take your time
finding your proper settings and REMEMBER THEM. Check these settings every time prior to using the equipment.
1. Adjust the Roller Hinge:
The roller hinge setting controls the responsiveness or rate of rotation. There
are three holes; hole selection depends both on your body weight and the
rotational responsiveness you desire. For users just learning to use the
inversion table, we recommend starting with Setting C.
IMPORTANT: Place the roller hinges in the same hole setting on each side.
