is a high quality inversion machine intended for use in
commercial facilities. It is important that all users receive training on how to adjust and utilize the equipment.
Please familiarize all staff members with this Instructional Training Manual so that they will be prepared to
provide adequate training for the users of the equipment.
Placement within the facility:
Assemble the equipment in an area with sufficient clearance on all sides of the unit. Users will require
adequate space to rotate their bodies on the equipment - be aware that passersby may be bumped or kicked if
they stand too near to the unit while in use. Make sure that the instructions, poster and/or floor mat are all
nearby and accessible to the users.
Maintenance of the equipment:
Facilities are responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of the equipment. Regularly wipe down the unit
with mild soap and water. Schedule daily, weekly and monthly equipment inspections to verify that the unit is
clean and in good shape, the unit functions properly, all parts rotate smoothly, and all fasteners are secure.
For warranty service, refer to the contact information listed on pg. 4 of this manual.
Training for staff and users:
As with any piece of exercise equipment, it is important to provide users with adequate training on proper
equipment function, adjustments, precautions, risks from overexertion or improper use, and health
contraindications (see above).
