ADJUSTING
BEFORE YOU INVERT make sure that the table
rotates smoothly to the fully inverted position and back,
and that all fasteners are secure. Make sure the user
settings described below are properly adjusted for your
unique needs and body type. Take your time fi nding
your proper settings and remember them. Check these
settings every time prior to using the equipment.
Roller Hinge: Find Your Setting
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
(diagram at right). For users just learning
to use the inversion table, we recommend starting with Setting C (Figure 1).
IMPORTANT: Place the Roller Hinges in the same hole setting on each side.
Height Setting: Adjust the Main Shaft
The height settings are stamped on the Main Shaft in both inches and
centimeters.
• Loosen the De-rattler knob.
• Pull out the height selector locking pin with your right hand while sliding the Main
Shaft with your left (Figure 2).
• Slide the Main Shaft until the last setting you can read is one inch greater than
your height. e.g. If you’re 5’10” (178 cm) the last numbers you’ll be able to read
will be 5’11” (180 cm). NOTE: The best height setting for you will depend on your
weight distribution and could vary one or two inches on either side of your actual
height. Starting at one or two inches more than your height will help to ensure
that the rotation of the table is not too fast.
• Release the height selector locking pin so that it fully engages in a hole. If you
choose, re-tighten the De-rattler knob.
Tether Strap: Adjust to Desired Angle
For fi rst time users, attach the Tether Strap to help control your angle of rotation
(See Figure 3). You can increase the angle of rotation allowed by the Tether Strap
as you become more comfortable using the table, or remove it all-together for full
inversion.
Foot Platform: Find Your Setting
The Teeter Hang Ups Foot Platform can rotate into a High or Low setting (Figure 4).
There is a one inch height difference between the settings. The setting you select
will vary by the type of shoes you wear and your ankle type. Try inverting in both
settings to determine which one is most comfortable for you.
The Foot Platform should be set so the ankle clamps are secure around the smallest
part of the ankles (with minimal distance between the ankle clamp and the top of
your foot), this will reduce sliding on the Table Bed while inverted.
Prepare to Mount
•
ALWAYS
wear securely tied, lace-up shoes with a fl at sole, such as a tennis
shoe.
• DO NOT wear shoes with thick soles, boots, high-tops or any shoe that extends
above the anklebone, as this type of footwear could interfere with properly
securing your ankles.
