BeforeBeginning
Step 1
AssembletheA-frameBase(F7-1002)andInstalltheHandles(F5-1069)
• Open the A-frame and make sure the spreader arms are locked, rest the A-frame on the oor (Figure 1). The
Crossbar is at the front.
•
Place each Hand Grip (left/right) over the outside edge of the
corresponding Hinge Plate (Figure 2).
• Insert three 1/2” (13mm) hex bolts (H1-1202) through the hinge plate into each Hand Grip. Use the wrenches
provided to tighten the bolts, being careful not to over-tighten.

Step2
Attach the Upper Support Arms to the Table Bed (EP-1140)
• Before following this step, make sure you have read the orange insert that came attached to the Table Bed.
•
Place the
Table Bed face down on the oor and push down on the Support Beam, so the two holes align
evenly with holes at the base of Upper Support Arms (Figure 3). You may have to exert extra pressure to
ensure the Support Beam slides over the rubber spacers.
•
Insert the two bolts (EP-1
149) into the open holes.
•
Fasten each bolt with a nut.
•
Use the Allen Wrench (IA-1149) to steady the bolts, tighten the nut onto the bolt with the larger wrench
(F5-1088) (Figure 4). Repeat with the second bolt.

Step 3
Install the Roller Hinges (F5-1064) onto the Table Bed (EP-1140)
• For ease-of-assembly, rest the Table Bed against the side of the A-frame (Figure 5).
• Open the Cam Locks on each side of the Table Bed (Figure 5A).
• With the Pivot Pins facing outward, insert the Roller Hinges into the brackets on each side of the
Table Bed. The Roller Hinges must slide between the Cam Locks and the brackets.
• Make sure the Roller Hinges are in the same hole setting on both sides. Figure 6 shows the Roller
Hinges engaged correctly in setting C.
• Push down on the Cam Locks (Figure 6A) to secure the hinges.
NOTE: Refer to the Owner’s Manual for an explanation of the hole settings. If you are unsure, use
setting C to start.

Step 4
AttachtheTableBed(EP-1140)totheA-frame(F7-1002)
• Holding each side near the Roller Hinges, pick up the Table Bed and stand at the front of the A-frame where the
Crossbar is located. Lower each Pivot Pin into the A-frame hinge plates one at a time (Figure 7). You may need
to push outward on the A-frame in order to slide the second Pivot Pin into the hinge. Figure 8 shows the correct
placement of the Pivot Pin into the hinge plate.
• Make sure that both Pivot Pins are seated at the base of the slot in the hinge plate. Check to make sure that the
self-locking hooks have closed over both Pivot Pins, and the table rotates smoothly (Figure 9).

Step 5
InserttheMainShaft(EP-1120)intotheTableBed(EP-1140)
• Loosen the De-rattler knob on the Main Shaft Housing.
• With the height adjustment settings on the Main Shaft facing up, slide the end of the Main Shaft into the Main Shaft
Housing on the Table Bed.
• Pull out the height-selector locking pin to allow the Main Shaft to slide in farther (Figure 10). For the purpose of
easy assembly, slide in the Main Shaft and release the pin in the last height setting (Refer to the Owner’s Manual
for proper height adjustment before use).
NOTE: The De-rattler knob is an optional accessory that helps prevent a slight shift in the table when you invert.
The security of the product is not compromised if you choose not to tighten the knob.
• The Main Shaft must rest against the Crossbar of the A-frame (Figure 11). The Crossbar prevents the table
from rotating forward when the user steps on the Foot Platform. If the Main Shaft does not rest on the Crossbar
as shown in Figure 11 then the Table Bed has been assembled backwards onto the A-frame and this must be
corrected before use.

Step 6
Install the Front Foam Rollers (F5-1051)
• Slide the Foam rollers over each side of the Front Ankle Bar (Figures 12 and 12A).
• Insert the black plugs (F5-1056) into each open end of the Front Ankle Bar if they are not already assembled.
Figure 12
Figure 12A
AttachtheTetherStrap(F5-1007)toLimittheDegreeofRotation
• Hook the clip at the end of the tether strap to the loop at the base of the table bed (Figure 13) to limit your
degree of rotation.
• Tighten or loosen the strap to restrict or extend your angle of rotation.
AttachtheHeadPillow
• Attach the Head Pillow by securing the Velcro straps through the holes in the Table Bed – the position of the
pillow can be adjusted depending on the user (Figure 14).
