WARNING
!
FAILURE TO PROPERLY SECURE THE ANKLES COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! ALWAYS check that the
Ankle Lock System is fully engaged, with the Cups fit snug and close against the smallest part of the ankles. ALWAYS wear
securely tied, lace-up, flat-soled shoes (like a tennis shoe). DO NOT wear shoes with thick soles, boots, or any shoe that extends
above the anklebone, as this type of footwear could interfere with properly securing your ankles. NEVER use the inversion
table face down. DO NOT attempt to invert or lean your upper body against the Table Bed before securing your ankles.
Press your ankles back firmly against the rear ankle cups. Pull the
T-Pin Lock to close the Front Ankle Cups. Release the T-Pin and adjust
the Front Ankle Bar until the T-Pin fully engages into a hole and the
ankle cups fit snugly against the smallest part of your ankles
(Figure 4). Use the “Hear – Feel – See – Test” method below to
ensure a proper, secure fit.
Every Time You Secure Your Ankles:
HEAR the T-Pin Lock click into place.
FEEL the T-Pin Lock to make sure it is fully engaged and locked in
its setting (Figures 5a-5b), and FEEL that the Ankle Cups are snug
and close-fitting around the smallest part of your ankles.
SEE that there is NO space between the T-Pin Lock and its base,
and SEE that there is NO space between your ankles and the cups.
TEST the Ankle Lock System enclosure to ensure that it is snug,
close-fitting and secure by wiggling and attempting to pull your feet
through the Ankle Cups. Ensure that you CANNOT disengage from
the Ankle Cups each time before attempting to invert.

To Improve Ankle Comfort:
· For safety and comfort, always wear socks and shoes.
· Ensure the ankle cups are close-fitting and secure to the ankle, but not so
tight that they restrict blood flow.
· Relax your feet while inverted.
· Check your Ankle Comfort Dial setting.
· Try reducing your inversion angle while your body adjusts to the
new sensation.
· Experiment with the Lumbar Bridge which reduces load on the ankles
while increasing decompression in the lower back.

If there is too much distance between the ankle cups and tops of your feet,
adjust the foot platform (Ankle Comfort Dial) by rotating to either the high
or low setting to move foot placement up/down (Figure 6).
Figure 6
To unlock your ankles after inversion, pull up on the T-Pin so the pin
disengages. Push down with the balls of your feet while lifting your
heels to push open the Front Ankle Cups (Figure 7).
