Operating Instructions
- Adjust Height: Adjust the height setting on the main shaft to match your body height. This ensures proper balance and rotation.
- Secure Ankles: Step onto the foot platform and secure your ankles firmly into the ankle holding system. Ensure the padding is comfortable and the lock is engaged.
- Find Balance Point: Slowly lean back, allowing the bench to pivot. Use the safety handles to control your movement. Find your balance point where the bench can easily rotate.
- Invert: To invert, slowly raise your arms above your head. The bench will begin to rotate. Control the speed with your arm movements and the safety handles.
- Return Upright: To return to the upright position, slowly bring your arms down towards your sides or grasp the safety handles and pull yourself up.
- Disengage: Once fully upright and stable, release the ankle holding system and step off the bench.
Important: Always start with short inversion sessions (1-2 minutes) and gradually increase duration as your body adapts. Listen to your body and stop if you feel any discomfort.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and padded surfaces with a damp cloth after each use. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect all bolts, nuts, and moving parts for tightness and wear. Tighten any loose fasteners.
- Lubrication: Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to pivot points and moving parts annually, or as needed, to ensure smooth operation.
- Storage: Store the gravity bench in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bench does not invert smoothly. | Incorrect height setting; pivot points need lubrication. | Adjust height setting to match user's height; lubricate pivot points. |
| Ankle holding system feels loose. | Not properly secured; worn padding. | Ensure ankle lock is fully engaged; inspect padding for wear and replace if necessary. |
| Squeaking noises during use. | Loose fasteners; lack of lubrication. | Check and tighten all bolts and nuts; lubricate moving parts. |
