SAFETY OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Correct Incorrect Pivot arm is NOT aligned correctly. The pivot arm is not inserted all the way into the curved slot. Make sure the pivot arm is inserted all the way into the slot. Pivot arm is aligned correctly when the groove sits directly on the curved slot and the pivot arm is able to rotate freely. WARNING: Please make sure both pivot arms are in the same hole to prevent serious injury from occurring.
OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS 32 32 LENGTHEN SHORTEN THE STRAP ADJUSTING THE STRAP For added safety, a nylon strap has been included to restrict the degree of inversion. This strap can be adjusted to different lengths to allow for a greater or lesser degree of inversion. To lengthen the Nylon Strap (32) feed the top end of Nylon Strap (32) into the strap lock, and pull on the lower end of the strap. To shorten the length feed the bottom end of Nylon Strap (32) into the strap lock, and pull on the top end.
5 4 PIVOT ARMS The Pivot Arms (5) can be adjusted to allow for a greater or lesser degree of inversion. To adjust the Pivot Arms (5) simply pull out on them until the post is out of the hole, slide them up or down to the desired hole, push in until the post goes through the desired hole. The bottom hole provides the least amount of inversion, while the top hole provides the greatest amount. It is recommended that beginners use the bottom hole until they are familiar with the inversion table.
6 3 17 31 ADJUSTING THE ANGLE HOLDER Pull up on the Small Spring Knob (17), slide the Adjustable Instep Frame (6) upward. Stand on the Foot Bar (39) located at the bottom of the Adjustable Boom (3). Pull up on the Small Spring Knob (17), allow the Adjustable Instep Frame (6) to slide back into the Adjustable Boom (3). Push in slightly on the Adjustable Instep Frame (6) until the Rubber Heel Holders (31) are around your ankles.
BALANCING THE INVERSION TABLE 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 rubber heel holders, and lie back with your hands at your sides. Slowly place you hands across you chest. While in this position, your head should still be above our feet.
SUGGESTIONS FOR USE 1. Begin slowly: invert only 15~20 degrees to begin with. Stay inverted only as long as you are comfortable. Return upright slowly. 2. Make gradual changes: increase the angle only if it is comfortable. Increase angle only a few degrees at a time. Increase the time of use 1~2 minutes up to ten over a period of weeks. Add stretching and light exercise only after you are comfortable with inversion. 3. Watch your body: come up slowly, dizziness after a session means you came up to fast.
STORAGE For your storage convenience, the inversion table can be folded down to place against a wall, under a bed, or in a storage area.
WARM UP AND COOL DOWN ROUTINE A good exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool down. Do the entire program at least two to three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After several months you can increase your workouts to four or five times per week. AEROBIC EXERCISE is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs. Aerobic exercise improves the fitness of your lungs and heart.

Hold for 15 counts and repeat with left foot. INNER THIGH STRETCH Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees pointing outward.
TOE TOUCHES Slowly bend forward from your waist, letting your back and shoulders relax as you stretch toward your toes. Reach as far as you can and hold for 15 counts.
