BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Review all steps before beginning assembly and read all precautions before using the inversion table. Carefully adhere to the Assembly Instructions and Owner’s Manual to help ensure safety and product integrity.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE INVERSION TABLE

WARNING

FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. To reduce the risk of injury:

  • Read and understand all the instructions, review all other accompanying documents, and inspect the equipment before using the inversion table. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the proper use of this equipment and the inherent risks of inversion if these instructions are not followed, such as falling on your head or neck, pinching, entrapment, equipment failure, or aggravating a pre-existing medical condition. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the product are fully informed about the proper use of the equipment and all safety precautions.

  • DO NOT use the equipment without a licensed physician’s approval. Carefully review the following list of medical contraindications for inversion with your licensed physician (this is not an exhaustive list, it is intended only for reference):

    • Middle ear infection
    • Extreme obesity
    • Pregnancy
    • Hiatal or ventral hernia
    • Eye conditions like glaucoma, retinal detachment or conjunctivitis
    • Chronic sinusitis
    • High blood pressure or hypertension
    • Heart or circulatory disorders
    • Use of anticoagulants (including high doses of aspirin)
    • Weakness, frailty, or mobility issues
    • Dizziness, trouble with coordination or head-down disorientation
    • Vertigo, motion sickness or inner ear disorders
    • Brain injury or recent head trauma
    • Recent stroke or transient ischemic attack
    • Spinal injury or conditions impacting the spinal cord
    • Cerebral sclerosis
    • Medical conditions associated with the weight-bearing joints
    • Acutely swollen joints
    • Bone weakness (osteoporosis)
    • Recent or unhealed fractures
    • Medullary pins or surgically implanted orthopedic supports
    • Any other medical condition that may be made more severe by an elevation of blood pressure, intracranial pressure or the mechanical stress of the inverted position
  • ALWAYS be certain the Ankle Lock System is properly adjusted and fully engaged, and that your ankles are secure before using the equipment. HEAR, FEEL, SEE and TEST that the Ankle Lock System is snug, close-fitting and secure EVERY TIME you use
    the equipment.

  • ALWAYS wear securely tied lace-up shoes with a flat sole, such as a normal tennis-style shoe.

  • DO NOT wear any footwear that could interfere with securing the Ankle Lock System, such as shoes with thick soles, boots, high-tops or any shoe that extends above the anklebone.

  • DO NOT use the inversion table until it is adjusted properly for your height and body weight. Improper settings can cause rapid inversion or make returning upright difficult. New users, and users who are physically or mentally compromised, will require the assistance of a spotter. Make sure the equipment is set to your unique user settings prior to each use.

  • DO NOT sit up or raise head to return upright. Instead, bend knees and slide your body to the foot-end of the inversion table to change weight distribution. If locked out in full inversion, follow the instructions for releasing from the locked position before returning upright.

  • DO NOT continue using the equipment if you feel pain or become light-headed or dizzy while inverting. Immediately return to the upright position for recovery and eventual dismount.

  • DO NOT use if you are over 6 ft 6 in (198 cm) or over 300 lbs. (136 kg). Structural failure could occur or head/neck may impact the floor during inversion.

  • DO NOT allow children to use this machine. Keep children, bystanders, and pets away from machine while in use. The inversion table is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, unless they are given supervision and instruction concerning use of the machine by a person responsible for their safety.

  • DO NOT store the inversion table upright if children are present. Fold and lay the table on the floor. DO NOT store outdoors.

  • DO NOT use aggressive movements, or use weights, elastic bands, any other exercise or stretching device or non-Teeter® attachments while on the inversion table. Use the inversion table only for its intended use as described in this manual.

  • DO NOT drop or insert any object into any opening. Keep body parts, hair, loose clothing and jewelry clear of all moving parts.

  • DO NOT use in any commercial, rental or institutional setting. This product is intended for indoor, home use only.

  • DO NOT operate equipment while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that may cause drowsiness or disorientation.

  • ALWAYS inspect the equipment prior to use. Make sure all fasteners are secure.

  • ALWAYS replace defective components immediately and/or keep the equipment out of use until repair.

  • ALWAYS position equipment on a level surface and away from water or ledges that could lead to accidental immersion or falls.

  • Refer to additional warning notices posted on the equipment. If a product label or Owner’s Manual should become lost, damaged or illegible, contact Customer Service for replacement.

TEETER-LI8001-800ia-Inversion-Table-fig- \(4\)

STEP 1
Assemble A-Frame Base & Traction Support Handles

  • On a level surface, position the A-Frame so that it is standing upright and the Stability Feet are on the ground.
  • Gently push down on the Spreader Arms to ensure they are fully open and in the “locked” position (Figure 1).
  • Look for temporary circular assembly assistance labels on the
  • A- Frame. RIGHT, LEFT, FRONT, and REAR indicate your position while using the equipment, not facing it. These labels can be removed easily upon completion of assembly.

Assemble Traction Support Handles

TEETER-LI8001-800ia-Inversion-Table-fig- \(5\)

  • Locate the Handle Assembly Hardware Kit (HK1009).
  • Insert the Left and Right handles into the A-Frame (Figure 2a).
  • Insert the Hex Bolts from the inside of the A-Frame and fasten with the Nuts from the outside of the A-Frame (Figure 2b).
  • Tighten with the wrenches provided.

Assemble Hinge Covers to Hinge Plates

  • Locate the Hinge Cover Assembly Hardware Kit (HK1002).TEETER-LI8001-800ia-Inversion-Table-fig- \(7\)
  • Select the corresponding Hinge Covers for the left and right sides of the A-Frame by aligning each with the shape of the Hinge Plate (Figure 3).
  • Secure with (2) Allen Head Bolts for each side using a 5mm
  • Allen Wrench provided. Be careful not to overtighten.

STEP 2
Assemble Table Bed Support Arms

  • Locate the Table Bed Assembly Hardware Kit (HK1010).
  • Place the Table Bed face down on the floor and push down on the Support Beam, so the two holes align evenly with the holes at the base of the Upper Support Arms (Figure 4). You may have to exert extra pressure to ensure that the Support Beam slides over the rubber spacers.
  • Insert the two Bolts into the open holes. Fasten each bolt with a Washer and Nut (Figure 5).
  • Using the 6mm Allen Wrench provided to steady the bolts, tighten the nuts onto the bolts with one of the 10/13 mm Open Ended Wrenches.

STEP 3
Assemble Roller Hinges to Table Bed

  • Familiarize yourself with the 3-Hole Roller Hinge and Cam Lock terms (Figure 6).TEETER-LI8001-800ia-Inversion-Table-fig- \(8\)

WARNING

  • NEVER disassemble the Roller Hinge Pivot Pin.

  • For ease of assembly, rest the Table Bed against the Crossbar (Figure 7) at the front of the A-Frame.

  • On one side of the Table Bed, lift and hold the Cam Lock up all
    the way to unlock (Figure 8).

  • In your other hand, hold one Roller Hinge near the Pivot Pin.

  • With the Pivot Pin facing out (away from the Table Bed), slide the bottom of the Roller Hinge between the Cam Lock and the Bracket. TIP: Make sure that the Cam Lock is completely open when inserting the Roller Hinge, otherwise assembly will be more difficult.

  • Engage one of the holes in the Roller Hinge over the Bracket Pin. Figure 10 shows the Roller Hinge installed correctly, with the Bracket Pin engaged in Setting C.
    NOTE : Refer to the Owner’s Manual for an explanation of the hole settings. If you are unsure, use Setting C to start.

  • Push down on the Cam Lock (Figure 9) to lock it and secure the Roller Hinge.

  • Repeat on the other side. Make sure the Roller Hinges are in the same hole setting on both sides.

STEP 4
Assemble Table Bed to A-Frame

  • Face the front of the A-Frame where the Crossbar is located (Figure 9).TEETER-LI8001-800ia-Inversion-Table-fig- \(11\)

  • Grasp both Roller Hinges, right above the Cam Lock, and lift the Table Bed. Allow the top of the Table Bed to rotate toward the floor so that the back of the Table Bed is now facing you and the top of the Table Bed is in front of the Crossbar (Figure 10).

  • Lower each Roller Hinge Pivot Pin into the A-Frame hinge plates, one side at a time (Figure 11). The Self-Locking Hooks will open to allow the Pivot Pin into the Hinge Plate slot, then automatically snap closed over the Pivot Pin.
    TIP: You may need to push outward on the Hinge Plate in order for the second Pivot Pin to lock in place.

  • Make sure that each Pivot Pin is seated at the base of the slot in the Hinge Plates, and that the Self-Locking Hooks have closed over both Pivot Pins (Figures 11a & 11b).

WARNING
Failure of the Self-Locking Hooks to close over both Roller Hinge Pivot Pins is an indication of improper assembly and if not corrected could result in serious injury or death!

  • Rotate the Table Bed into the used position (Figure 12). Ensure that it rotates smoothly. See also Image A on Page 12 to ensure correct assembly.

STEP 5
Assemble Main Shaft to the Table Bed

  • Loosen the De-Rattler Knob on the Main Shaft Housing.TEETER-LI8001-800ia-Inversion-Table-fig- \(11\)
  • Facing the front of the A-Frame, hold the Main Shaft in your left hand with the height markings facing up. Slide the end of the Main Shaft into the Main Shaft Housing (Figure 13), located at the base of the Table Bed.
  • With your right hand, pull out the Height-Selector Locking Pin (Figure 14) to allow the Main Shaft to slide in further and release in the desired height setting. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more information on selecting your height setting.
  • The Main Shaft MUST REST against the Crossbar bumper on the A-Frame (Figure 15).

IMPORTANT: The Crossbar prevents the Table Bed from rotating forward when the user steps on the Ankle Comfort Dial. If the Main Shaft does not rest on the Crossbar bumper as shown in Figure 15, then the Table Bed has been assembled backward
onto the A-Frame. This MUST BE CORRECTED before use. See also Image B on Page 12 to ensure correct assembly.

  • Re-tighten the De-rattler Knob.
  • Test the inversion table by hand for smooth and steady rotation (Figure 16) and ensure that all fasteners are secure.

STEP 6
Attach Angle Tether & Head Pillow

Attach Angle Tether

  • The tether will come pre-assembled to the A-Frame.
  • Unfold the adjustable tether and clip it to the U-Bar on the underside of the Table Bed (Figure 20).
  • Slide the buckle to lengthen or shorten the strap depending on your desired maximum angle of inversion.

Attach Head Pillow
Attach the Head Pillow by securing the Velcro Straps through the holes in the Table Bed (Figure 21). You may customize the position depending on your preference.

Misassembly Check

WARNING If your Teeter Inversion Table looks like either of these images, your inversion table has been disassembled and is unfit for use. Improper assembly could result in serious injury or death

Image A
Go back to Step 3 for instructions. Demonstrates that the Roller Hinges have been assembled upside down into the Table Bed and must be corrected.

TEETER-LI8001-800ia-Inversion-Table-fig- \(16\)

Image B
Go back to Step 4 for instructions. Demonstrates that the Table Bed has been assembled into the A-Frame backward so the Main Shaft is not resting on the Crossbar and must be corrected.

Before Inverting

Ensure Owner’s Manual is Attached FIGURE 24 The Owner’s Manual contains important information on how to use your Teeter Inversion Table, including how to personalize the user settings, properly secure and release the Ankle Lock System, and test
and adjust the rotation control.TEETER-LI8001-800ia-Inversion-Table-fig-
\(18\)

  • If not already attached, thread the provided metal chain through the pre-punched hole in the upper corner of the Owner’s Manual.
  • Secure the chain to the A-Frame through the designated hole in the
  • Hinge Plate (Figure 24 & 24a). Allow the Owner’s Manual to hang freely on the outside of the A-Frame Spreader Arms so it doesn’t interfere with the rotation of the Table Bed.
  • IMPORTANT: Once attached to the A-Frame, DO NOT remove the Owner’s Manual. It should remain permanently attached to your inversion table to serve as a reference for all users in regard to proper adjustment and use of the equipment.

WARNING Read the Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using your Teeter Inversion Table. Improper settings could result in serious injury or death!
