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 Rack.

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.

•

ALWAYS

read and understand the instructions and warnings associated with and accompanying any supplementary equipment, such as Teeter

EZ-Up Gravity Boots.

•

DO NOT

use until approved by a licensed physician. Inversion is contraindicated in any medical or health condition that may be made more severe

by an elevation of blood pressure, intracranial pressure or mechanical stress of the inverted position, or that may impact your ability to operate the
equipment. This may include injury or illness, but also the side effects of any drug or supplement (prescribed or over-the-counter). Specific conditions
may include, but not be limited to:

Any condition, neurological or otherwise, which results in unexplained tingling, weakness or neuropathy, seizure, sleep disorder,

lightheadedness, dizziness, disorientation, or fatigue, or impacts strength, mobility, alertness, or cognitive ability;

Any brain condition, such as trauma, history of intracranial bleed, history or risk of TIA or stroke, or severe headaches;

Any condition of the heart or circulatory system, such as high blood pressure, hypertension, increased risk of stroke, or use of

anticoagulants (including high doses of aspirin);

Any bone, skeletal or spinal cord condition or injury, such as significant spinal curvature, acutely swollen joints, osteoporosis, fractures, dislocations,

medullary pins or surgically implanted orthopedic supports;

Any eye, ear, nasal or balance condition, such as trauma, history of retinal detachment, glaucoma, optic hypertension, chronic sinusitis, middle or

inner ear disease, motion sickness, or vertigo;

Any digestive or internal condition, such as severe acid reflux, hiatal or other hernia, gallbladder or kidney disease;

Any condition for which exercise is specifically directed, limited or prohibited by a physician, such as pregnancy, obesity, or recent surgery.

•

ALWAYS

install Locking Brackets in a SOLID WOOD doorway built according to U.S. national building codes, which measures between 28-36 in (71.1-

91.4 cm) wide and has been built according to U.S. national building codes.

DO NOT

use in faux or metal doorways.

• When using with Gravity Boots,

ALWAYS

be certain the Gravity Boots are properly adjusted and that your ankles are secure before using the

equipment. Ensure that the Gravity Boots are snug, close fitting and secure EVERY TIME you use the equipment.

• When using the Gravity Boots,

ALWAYS

wear securely tied lace-up shoes, such as normal style tennis shoes.

DO NOT

wear clothing or footwear that

can interfere with securing the Gravity Boots, such as high-tops or any shoes that extend above the ankle bones.

• When using the Gravity Boots with EZ-Up Rack or Bar,

ALWAYS

install the EZ-UP Strap to provide assistance with dismount.

• When using the Gravity Boots,

ALWAYS

ensure that the Boots are put on the correct leg so that the buckle levers are on the outside of the leg, versus

on the inside where they can rub against each other and unlatch or sustain potential damage.

•

When using non-Teeter brand inversion boots, ensure boot hook is compatible with 1.25 in (3.2 cm) diameter bar.

• New users will require the assistance of a spotter possessing the physical strength to lift and return the user to the upright position.

•

DO NOT

continue using the equipment if you feel pain or become light-headed or dizzy. If this occurs while inverting, immediately return to the upright

position for recovery and eventual dismount by following the dismounting instructions.

•

DO NOT

use if you are over 250 lbs (113.4 kg) or use by more than one person at a time, otherwise structural failure could occur.

DO NOT

use until

the Inversion Rack is tested to exceed your body weight by following the weight test instructions. If the doorframe cracks or any structural failure or

weakened condition is observed,

DO NOT

continue use of the Inversion Rack in that doorframe.

•

DO NOT

invert on the Inversion Rack if your height exceeds the

distance between the upper bar of the installed Inversion Rack and the floor.

DO NOT

invert from the lower bar. Maximum height allowance depends on the height of the doorway and placement of the locking brackets. In a standard

6’8” (203.2 cm), maximum user height is 7’3” (221 cm).

•

DO NOT

allow children to use the equipment. Keep children, bystanders, and pets away from the equipment while in use. The Inversion Rack is not

intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.

•

DO NOT

store outdoors.

•

DO NOT

use aggressive movements, bounce or swing excessively. While inverted,

DO NOT

use weights, elastic bands, any other exercise or stretching

device or non-Teeter attachments. Use the Inversion Rack only for its intended use as described in these instructions.

•

DO NOT

exercise to the point of fatigue while inverted, otherwise returning upright or dismounting may be difficult.

•

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 and the doorframe prior to use. Make sure all fasteners and Locking Brackets are secure.

•

ALWAYS

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

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

STEP

Install Locking Brackets

Serious injury or death may occur if the Inversion Rack is not

installed in the doorframe properly:

ALWAYS

securely install the

Locking Brackets in

SOLID WOOD

doorways built according to

U.S. national building codes (maximum width of 36 in/91.4 cm).

Maximum height allowance depends on the height of the doorway

and placement of the locking brackets. In a standard 6’8” (203.2 cm),

maximum user height is 7’3” (221 cm).

• Locate the Mounting Hardware Kit (E11059).

• To allow installation of the equipment without interfering with the

operation of the door, mount the Locking Brackets on the side of the
doorframe opposite from the hinged door (Figure 10). With a pencil,
mark 2 in (5 cm) down from the top of the doorframe.

• There are two sizes of Locking Brackets, one to fit the Large Straight

Bar with Grips and one to fit the Small Straight Bar. Facing the door,
mount the Large Locking Bracket (A) on your

RIGHT

and the Small

Locking Bracket (B) on your

LEFT

(Figure 10).

• On the

RIGHT

side of the doorframe, place the Large Locking Bracket

with the plastic rotating lock open and on top against the doorstop
edge. Align the top of the Locking Bracket with the pencil mark so
there is a 2 in (5 cm) clearance between the Locking Bracket and top
of the doorframe (Figure 11).

NOTE:

If you find use of the Inversion Rack difficult at this height, you

may lower the Rack as long as the top bar height exceeds the height
of the tallest user in the household.

• With a pencil, mark the doorframe through the three (3) screw holes

in the bracket. Set the bracket aside and pre-drill 5/32 inch (3.9 mm)
diameter holes where you marked the doorframe, at least 2 inches
(5 cm) deep (Figure 11).

• Mount the bracket using three (3) wood screws provided, ensuring

that the screws fully engage in the doorframe. Screws must be tight
and flush with the bracket. Use ONLY the screws provided -

DO NOT

substitute with any other screws.

• Following the same procedure as above, install the Small Locking

Bracket on the

LEFT

side, with the same distance from the top of the

doorframe as the Large Locking Bracket.

Plastic Rotating Lock

(Locked)

• With the Upper Bar facing you, hold the EZ-Up Rack near the ends of

the Lower Bar. Slide the flared end of the Large Straight Bar into the
U-Shaped Rest in the RIGHT locking bracket (Figure 12).

• Extend the length of the EZ-Up Rack until the flared end of the Small

Straight Bar can slide into the U-Shaped Rest in the LEFT locking
bracket, NOT to exceed 36 in (91.4 cm) wide.

• Lock the EZ-Up Rack into the Locking Brackets by snapping the plastic,

rotating locks over the top of the Lower Bar (Figure 13).

• If the EZ-Up Rack interferes with normal passage through the doorway,

remove the EZ-Up Rack from the doorframe after each use by rotating
the plastic, rotating locks off the Lower Bar and lifting the EZ-Up Rack
out of the U-Shaped Rest.

Failure of the rotating lock to snap over the Lower Bar is indication

of improper assembly and if not corrected, could result in serious

injury or death! Always ensure the Locking Brackets are locked

securely over the Lower Bar before use.

WARNING

U-Shaped

Rest

• Once the Rack is fully assembled and mounted to the doorframe,

loop the EZ-Up Strap over the Lower Bar (Figure 14A).

•

Feed the large-looped end of the strap through the small-looped end
and pull until the fit is snug around the lower bar (Figure 14B).

•

To store the EZ-Up Strap when not in use, loop the entire length of
the strap around the Small Diameter bars and secure the end loop by
tucking it behind the fully looped Strap to ensure that the Strap does
not unravel (Figure 15).

STEP

Attaching & Storing the EZ-Up Strap

FIGURE 14A

FIGURE 14B

FIGURE 15

To prevent entanglement, always ensure the EZ-Up Stap is

properly stored while not in use.

WARNING

Test Weight and Height

Weight Test

• After installing the Locking Brackets and securing the EZ-Up Rack in

place, the user and another adult person with a combined weight equal
to or greater than 1.5 times the user’s weight

should hang by their hands

from one side (one person on the Upper Bar and one on the Lower Bar)
and bounce several times applying their full weight (Figure 16A).

• Repeat the test on the other side (Figure 16B).

• If the doorframe shows cracks or any signs of instability or weakness,

DO NOT

continue use of the EZ-Up Rack in that doorframe.

Height Test

• Measure between the Upper Bar and floor to ensure the distance is

greater than the head height of the tallest user in the household
(Figure 17).

FAILURE

to test and inspect the equipment prior to first use could result in serious injury or death!
