Push the ADJUSTABLE INSTEP FRAME(4) down to secure your feet. Place the ADJUSTABLE INSTEP FRAME(4) at the position which is most comfortable for holding your ankles. Lie down with the ARMPIT PADS(8) under and supporting your armpits, refer to illustration B.
5. To stretch, pull the LEVER(13) back and forth as many times as needed to reach the proper stretch. Stop pulling at the desired stretch position and stay at the stretch position for few minutes. To release, push the LEVER(13) firmly toward your feet.
