Securing Your Ankles
• Stand with your back to the Table Bed—do not use the inversion table face-down.
• Step over the Main Shaft, placing your feet on the floor on either side. If closed, grasp
the handle of the Deluxe-EZ Reach Ankle Lock System and press the button at the top,
pull slightly toward you, then push out to open it all the way. Release the handle in the
open position.
• To balance yourself, rest only your lower body against the Table Bed as you slide one
ankle at a time between the Front Ankle Cups and the Heel Cups, placing your feet on
the Ankle Comfort Dial.
• Be sure to slide your ankle in from the side (Figure 5); DO NOT insert your foot as
you would slide your foot into a shoe. Your feet should always be either on the floor
or on the Ankle Comfort Dial; never use any other part of the inversion table as a step
(Figures 6 and 7).
• Press your ankles back firmly against the Heel Cups. Rotate the top of the Heel Cups
toward your ankles to increase comfort while inverting.
• Pull the handle of the Ankle Lock System toward your legs and release when the fit is
snug (Figure 8).
• Test the closure by jiggling the handle from front to back to make sure the foot clamps
are locked securely.
• Verify that your pant legs or footwear do not interfere with obtaining a secure closure.
• Use the concept of HEAR, FEEL, SEE every time you secure your ankles: HEAR the
Ankle Lock System click into place; FEEL the Ankle Lock System to make sure it is fully
engaged in its setting; SEE that the Ankle Lock System is secure and does not move
out of position.

Test Your Balance Setting
The inversion table is sensitively balanced, and it responds to very small changes in
weight distribution. As a result, you must always test to make sure you have the correct
height setting. Ensure that there is clearance to rotate in front, above and behind you. To
begin, rest your head on the bed and slowly place your arms on your chest.
• If your head is lower than your feet, lengthen the height setting by one hole and
test again.
• If your feet do not move at all, shorten the height setting by one hole and test again.
• If the table comes to rest with your feet lifted a few inches off the A-frame, then you
have found the correct balance setting.
This is an important step—spend the time needed to find your correct balance setting.
Your setting should remain the same as long as your weight does not fluctuate
substantially.
For your first few inversion sessions, ask a spotter to assist you until you
are able to find your correct balance setting and are comfortable with the
