Assembly Instructions

Assembly of the Body Vision IT9550 Inversion Table typically takes approximately 30-45 minutes for one person. It is recommended to have a clear, open space for assembly.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out and compare them against the parts list (not provided in this document, refer to your product's included manual for a complete list).
2. Assemble Main Frame: Connect the main support beams and crossbars. Ensure all bolts are inserted correctly and hand-tighten initially.
3. Attach Backrest Assembly: Secure the upholstered backrest to the main frame. Ensure it is firmly attached and aligned.
4. Install Ankle Support System: Attach the ankle support mechanism, including the foam rollers and locking pin, to the base of the frame.
5. Secure Handlebars: Fasten the fully foamed covered handlebars to the frame.
6. Final Tightening: Once all components are in place, systematically tighten all bolts and nuts using appropriate tools. Do not overtighten.
7. Inspect: Perform a final inspection to ensure all connections are secure and the table is stable.

Setup and Adjustment

Proper setup is crucial for safe and effective inversion therapy.

1. Adjusting User Height

The inversion table must be adjusted to your height for proper balance and control during inversion.

1. Locate the easy center height selector rod on the main frame.
2. Pull out the adjustment pin and slide the inner shaft to align with your height. The table accommodates users from 5'1" to 6'6".
3. Insert the adjustment pin fully into the corresponding hole. Ensure it is securely locked in place.
4. Test Balance: Before full inversion, stand on the table and lean back slightly. The table should pivot smoothly with minimal effort. If it inverts too quickly or slowly, adjust the height setting slightly until a comfortable balance is achieved.

2. Securing Ankle Support System

The Sur-lock ankle support system is critical for safety. Ensure your ankles are snug and secure.

1. Step onto the foot platform of the inversion table.
2. Place your ankles between the high-density foam rollers.
3. Engage the Sur-lock mechanism by pushing the locking pin into place. Ensure the foam rollers are snug against your ankles, preventing any movement.
4. The system is designed to prevent calf pinching. If discomfort occurs, re-adjust your foot position or the roller tightness.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective inversion therapy.

1. Inverting

1. Set Inversion Angle: Before stepping onto the table, adjust the 4-position rear adjustment bar to your desired maximum inversion angle (20, 40, 60, or 90 degrees). Start with the lowest angle.
2. Mounting the Table: With the table in its upright position, carefully step onto the foot platform and secure your ankles as described in the "Securing Ankle Support System" section.
3. Initiate Inversion: Slowly lean back, allowing your body weight to shift and the table to pivot. You can use the handlebars for control. Breathe deeply and relax.
4. Return to Upright: To return to the upright position, grasp the handlebars and slowly pull yourself forward. The table will pivot back to the starting position.

2. Using the Lumbar Support Pad

The adjustable and removable lumbar support pad enhances comfort and allows for targeted support.

• Adjustment: While attached to the inversion table, the lumbar support pad can be slid up or down the backrest to target specific areas of your back, shoulders, or neck.
• Removal: The pad can be completely removed from the inversion table.
• Versatile Use: Once removed, the pad can be used to provide back support in a lounge chair, office chair, in bed, or even during travel in a car or airplane.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your inversion table.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and upholstered surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Check Connections: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and pins to ensure they are tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Inspect for Wear: Regularly inspect the foam rollers, backrest upholstery, and frame for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace worn parts immediately.
• Lubrication: The pivot points may benefit from occasional lubrication with a silicone-based spray to ensure smooth operation.
• Storage: When not in use, the inversion table can be folded for space-saving storage. Ensure it is locked in the folded position for safety. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
