4. PERSONAL ADJUSTMENTS

Height adjustmentYou can adjust the foot rest length setting for your desired body height at any time by releasing the Loop Pin (17) and Spring Pin (27). Move the Adjustable Boom (5) to the correct position, tighten the Spring Pin (27) and lock with Loop Pin (17).

Hold the boom (5) firmly during adjustment to prevent it from falling out and thus damaging the floor!

Foot rest adjustmentBefore use, adjust the foam leg rollers on the foot rest according to the following diagrams so that your legs are not squeezed but still have sufficient support. To do so, pull the leg tube adjustment button, set the desired distance and then refasten the leg adjustment button. Secure the position with the locking pin.

Incline adjustment

Make sure that neither your fingers nor clothing get wedged between t ! he frame while inverting!

You will find the locking mechanism on the handle on the right side. Slide the locking pin into the selected opening in the desired position and turn the pin into the thread to hold the position. Important! The pin must be securely screwed in so as not to fall out!

5. WORKOUT INSTRUCTIONS

The inversion table operates like a balanced pendulum on an exle.It reacts to small changes in weight distribution. When you begin using the unit, take special care that you have selected the correct maximum incline angle (if desired). Asking for the assistance of a second person to stabilize and rotate the table may be helpful the first time you exercise with the unit.

Advantages of useInversion training can have many advantages, just a few of which are listed in the following:

Relief of back painIn most cases, gravity is a factor in back pain. Pressure on spinal discs decreases the distance between vertebrae, restricting mobility and increasing the risk of pinched nerves. Inversion therapy is an easy way to prevent this from happening and to counteract the negative effects of gravity. Hanging upside down at an angle of 20°- 90° eases pressure and allows your spinal discs to return to their natural form and your vertebrae to an optimal distance from one another.
Improved postureWhen a vertebra slips, the ligaments and muscles that support it prevent it from returningto its original position. Lying down, the pressure on your vertebrae is reduced to 25% of its normal intensity. The pressure can be reduced to zero by lying on the inversion table at an angle of 60°. Reducing pressure to the vertebrae and slightly streching can correctly align your vertebrae. In addition, inversion also relieves joints, improving the supply of nutrients and oxygen.
Counteract shrinking due to gravitySpinal discs absorb and release moisture. In the course of a day, spinal discs are squeezed and dehydrated like a sponge. In fact, ahealthy spinal disc will shrink up to 20% each day. During sleep, spinal discs recover due to the relief of lying down. As a person progresses in age, permanent shrinking may occur. Inversion can help to return moisture to spinal discs by reducing the pressure they are subject to.

Exercise caution during useDespite its many advantages, invresion therapy or using an inversion table is not right for everyone. If you have one of the following symptoms, consult a physician before using the product (the following list contains only examples and is in no way exhaustive):

Use of anticoagulants (substances that thin blood such as aspirin)
Weak or fractured bones: The pressure of body weight may worsen these conditions.
Conjunctivitis due to a virus or bacterial infection
Glaucoma (constant excess intraocular pressure)
Cardiovascular problems: Consult your physician before using the product if you haveany circulatory disorders.
Inguinal hermia or diaphragmatic hernia
High blood pressure (above 140/90)
Infection of the middle ear
Pregnancy
Retinal detachment
Spinal injuries
Stroke
Transient ischemic attacks

The inversion table is designed for a maximum user weight of 120 kg.

IMPORTANT: While on the inversion table, always adjust your weight and makemoverments carefully and calmly, as the table may tip over if you move suddenly,leading to serious injury.

General notesAlways wear appropriate clothing and footwear when working out. Keep children away from the unit at all times, especially while it is in use.

Directions for useBefore use, adjust the foot rest lenght setting so that the table could remain in a horizontal position without being held by handles when you are lying with your arms by your sides. Your body weight is then balanced and you can adjust the incline by slightly moving one or both of your arms. As a general rule in inversion training, the greater the incline angle, the shorter the duration.

Make sure that the foot rest plate is correctly adjusted and securely screwed. Lay your head on the head rest and your arms first at your sides and then on your chest, as depicted. If your head is now lower than your feet, lengthen the foot rest by one hole and try again. If your feet do not move, shorten the foot rest by one hole and try again.

While lying on the inversion table, gentle and even movements can improve the effect of inversion on muscles, ligaments and joints. For example, you can stretch, rotate or attempt to tuck up your legs. Only do sit-ups in a secured position however.

Return from inversion to your initial position using the handlebar grips. As your body may have been stretched slightly during inversion, the initial position may no longer be balanced. Bend your knees to relocate your body´s center or gravity toward your feet. Do not lift your head and / or try to sit up.

Advanced users can hang from the foot rests. To do so, rotate the table completely, as depicted, grasp the back rest behind your shoulder with one hand and the crossbar on the front frame with the other. You can use your arms to rotate the table a few degrees past the hanging point. Return from inversion to your initial position using the handlebar grips. Bend your knees to relocate your body´s center of gravity toward your feet. Do not lift your head and /or try to sit up.

6. MAINTENANCE. CLEANING AND CARE

Make sure that all bolts/nuts are correctly tightened after assembly and before use.
Clean the unit regulary with a slightly damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Do not use any solvents to clean the unit.
This applies to the padding and handles especially since these parts are in constant contact with your body during training. You can cover the pads with a towel during training to protect them.
Check all rollers for ease of movement before use. Rollers that move with difficulty result in excessive wear and / or damage to the cables. If one or more rollers is tight, make sure they are installed correctly. Never grease the contact area between the roller and the cable! If in doubt, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service.
Maintain the weight guide tube regularly using a little silicone oil.
You should grease the axles of all moving parts once every one or two years. You can use an off-the-shelf grease to do so.
