OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
1.Do not use the Therapy Inversion System alone. Always have a helper available in case assistance is needed in recovering from the decline position.
2.Make sure that the FOAM PADS(16) and HEEL HOLDERS(19) are holding your feet securely.
3.Make sure that the HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT BEAM(12) is properly set for your height.
4.Make sure that the HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT BEAM(12) is held securely by both the SPRING PIN(22) and the SECURING KNOB(23).
5.Make sure that there is enough room for the bed to rotate completely.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The Therapy Inversion System is a very sensitive balance device. It responds to very slight changes in weight distribution. It is very important to make sure that the height adjustment is adjusted properly. Use the following procedure to set the height adjustment and balance the Therapy Inversion System.
1. Adjust the NYLON STRAPS to restrict movement to approximately 15 degrees beyond the horizontal position. The nylon straps should not allow the Therapy Inversion System to go into the full inversion position while you are setting the height adjustment.
2. Loosen the SECURING KNOB(23) under the
MAIN FRAME(4).
3. Pull the SPRING PIN(22) and use the SCALE DECAL(20) to set the HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT BEAM(12).
4. Tighten the SECURING KNOB(23).
5. Mount the machine.
6. Lock your ankles into the FOAM PADS(16) and HEEL HOLDERS(19).
7. Lie back with your hands at your sides.
8. Slowly raise your hands to your chest.
9.If your feet are higher than your head, dismount and try a taller setting. If you do not rotate to a position close to level, dismount and try a shorter setting.
NOTE: The Therapy Inversion System should return to the upright position when your hands are below your waist. If it does not, use a taller setting.
HANDRAILS
The Therapy Inversion System features a set of Handrails for added convenience and safety. The Handrails are connected to the bed with linkages so that pulling on the Handrails will move the bed away from the inverted position toward the upright position.
1.Pull the Handrails to pull yourself to the upright position from any degree of inversion. If you wish to return to the upright position and the bed is not moving or moving too slowly, grasp and pull the Handrails until you return to the upright position.
2.Grasp the Handrails to control the speed of inversion or stop the inversion.
WARNING: Make sure that the Handrails are functioning properly before going into full inversion.
