WARNING
!
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 Rack. 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.
• ALWAYS read and understand the instructions and warnings associated with and accompanying any supplementary equipment,
such as Teeter EZ-Up Gravity Boots.
• DO NOT use the equipment without a licensed physician’s approval. Carefully review the following list of medical contraindications
for inversion with your licensed physician (this is not an exhaustive list, it is intended only for reference):
• ALWAYS install Locking Brackets in a SOLID WOOD doorway built according to U.S. national building codes, which measures
between 28-36 in (71.1-91.4 cm) wide and has been built according to U.S. national building codes. DO NOT use in faux or
metal doorways.
• When using with Gravity Boots, ALWAYS be certain the Gravity Boots are properly adjusted and that your ankles are secure before
using the equipment. Ensure that the Gravity Boots are snug, close fitting and secure EVERY TIME you use the equipment.
• When using the Gravity Boots, ALWAYS wear securely tied lace-up shoes, such as normal style tennis shoes. DO NOT wear clothing
or footwear that can interfere with securing the Gravity Boots, such as high-tops or any shoes that extend above the ankle bones.
• When using the Gravity Boots with EZ-Up Rack or Bar, ALWAYS install the EZ-UP Strap to provide assistance with dismount.
• When using the Gravity Boots, ALWAYS ensure that the Boots are put on the correct leg so that the buckle levers are on the
outside of the leg, versus on the inside where they can rub against each other and unlatch or sustain potential damage.
• When using non-Teeter brand inversion boots, ensure boot hook is compatible with 1.25 in (3.2 cm) diameter bar.
• New users will require the assistance of a spotter possessing the physical strength to lift and return the user to the upright position.
• DO NOT continue using the equipment if you feel pain or become light-headed or dizzy. If this occurs while inverting, immediately
return to the upright position for recovery and eventual dismount by following the dismounting instructions.
• DO NOT use if you are over 250 lbs (113.4 kg) or use by more than one person at a time, otherwise structural failure could occur.
DO NOT use until the Inversion Rack is tested to exceed your body weight by following the weight test instructions. If the
doorframe cracks or any structural failure or weakened condition is observed, DO NOT continue use of the Inversion Rack in that
doorframe.
• DO NOT invert on the Inversion Rack if your height exceeds the distance between the upper bar of the installed Inversion Rack and
the floor. DO NOT invert from the lower bar. Maximum height allowance depends on the height of the doorway and placement of
the locking brackets. In a standard 6’8” (203.2 cm), maximum user height is 7’3” (221 cm).
• DO NOT allow children to use the equipment. Keep children, bystanders, and pets away from the equipment while in use. The
Inversion Rack is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.
• DO NOT store outdoors.
• DO NOT use aggressive movements, bounce or swing excessively. While inverted, DO NOT use weights, elastic bands, any other
exercise or stretching device or non-Teeter attachments. Use the Inversion Rack only for its intended use as described in
these instructions.
• DO NOT exercise to the point of fatigue while inverted, otherwise returning upright or dismounting may be difficult.
• DO NOT use in any commercial, rental or institutional setting. This product is intended for indoor, home-use only.
• DO NOT operate equipment while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that may cause drowsiness or
disorientation.
• ALWAYS inspect the equipment and the doorframe prior to use. Make sure all fasteners and Locking Brackets are secure.
• ALWAYS replace defective components immediately and/or keep the equipment out of use until repair.
• Refer to additional warning notices posted on the equipment. If a product label should become lost, damaged or illegible, contact
Customer Service for replacement.
