Operating Instructions
The InLine Traction Control System is designed for ease of use. Follow these steps for effective and safe operation:
- Adjust Height: Adjust the height of the padded lap belt so it aligns with your hips. This is crucial for proper traction.
- Position Yourself: Step up against the lap belt, ensuring it is snug around your hips. Position your upper body so the padded arm supports are comfortably under your armpits.
- Initiate Traction: While holding the hand grips, slowly lean forward, allowing your body weight to create traction on your spine. Maintain a controlled movement.
- Hold and Release: Hold the stretched position for a comfortable duration, typically a few seconds to a minute, as recommended by a healthcare professional. Slowly return to the upright position.
- Repeat: Perform repetitions as needed, gradually increasing duration or intensity as comfort allows.
Note: It may take a few uses to find the optimal height and position for your body to achieve the most effective stretch. Adjust the machine as needed for maximum comfort and benefit.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Stamina InLine Traction Control System.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and padded surfaces with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Inspections: Periodically check all nuts, bolts, and connection points to ensure they are tight and secure. Tighten any loose fasteners.
- Padding Condition: Inspect the foam padding on the chest cushion, arm supports, and head support for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
- Storage: Store the unit in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Stamina InLine Traction Control System, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty during assembly (e.g., holes not aligning) | Minor manufacturing tolerance or improper alignment. | Ensure all parts are correctly oriented as per the manual's diagrams. Apply gentle pressure or slightly adjust the angle to align holes. If a threaded hole is problematic, ensure the screw is inserted straight. |
| Unit feels unstable during use | Loose fasteners or uneven surface. | Check all bolts and nuts for tightness. Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, level, and stable surface. |
| Discomfort from lap belt or pads | Incorrect adjustment or user positioning. | Adjust the height of the lap belt and the width of the arm supports. Experiment with slight changes in your body position to find the most comfortable and effective stretch. Ensure pads are correctly positioned under armpits. |
