Owner`s manual

Calf loops are an optional feature that easily detach, so shorter
adults can easily invert. Calf loops provide the following benets:
1. Reduce loads on the ankles and prevent
the front edge of the boot from placing
uncomfortable pressure on the top of
your feet.
2. Offer a hand hold to help you get back
up to the bar.
3. Place a 2° bend in the knees, which for
most people is more comfortable than
inverting with straight legs.
Calf Loops: Why use them?
Stretching
Gravity Boots provide a comfortable way to invert and
decompress your spine and weight bearing joints.
Moving your joints through their range of motion while
your muscles are relaxed helps to improve exibility
and promote healthy joints.
Crunches & Sit-Ups
Inversion offers a method of strengthening
abdominal muscles without the addition of
compressive loads to your back.
Squats
Reverse squats utilize your own body weight to
resist gravity and are an amazing workout for glutes,
hamstrings, and calves.
To Attach Calf Loops:
Insert the base of the Calf Loop into the open
end of the Boot Hook (Figure A). Make sure
you hear the Calf Loop snap into place for
secure attachment. Repeat on other boot.
To Detach Calf Loops:
Press your nger onto the Calf Loop Release
Tab (Figure B) and pull loop out of the
Boot Hook slot.
*Calf Loops must be attached/detached while
boots are NOT secured around ankles.
Boot Care:
No regular maintenance is required,
however, for continued smooth use, we
recommend keeping buckles latched when
not in use.

User Instructions:
WARNING
!
• DO NOT use Gravity Boots with a Bar that is not secure to at least four times your
body weight. Test this by having two people hang from the bar at the same time by
the hands then pull down vigorously. Repeat this test on the other end of the Bar.
• DO NOT use Gravity Boots with a Bar that exceeds 1.25” (3.2 cm) in diameter.
The Bar must sit loosely at the base of the hook. Bars that are too large will stress
the hook and could result in equipment failure.
• ALWAYS use a spotter.
• DO NOT engage in excessive bouncing or swinging which could disengage the
Boot hooks from the bar.
• ALWAYS use slow, controlled movements while inverting.
• DO NOT over-exert your muscles while inverted so you have strength to dismount.
Rotate the Boot so the hook is
positioned at the front of the leg,
with the buckle levers on the backside
of the leg. Push down on the Boot so
it sits on the top of the foot.

Inverting
You will use the hooks on the front of the Gravity Boots to suspend yourself
with both legs in an inverted position from a securely supported bar.
We recommend these Gravity Boots be used only with properly installed
and tested Teeter Hang Ups products, which are designed specically for
inversion with Gravity Boots. Follow the specic directions for mounting,
inverting, and dismounting that are included with your Teeter Hang Ups
EZ-Up
™
Inversion & Chin-Up Rack or Inversion Table with Conversion Bar.
Note: If you are not using a Teeter Hang Ups product in conjunction
with the Teeter Hang Ups Gravity Boots, you will need to determine
the proper procedures specic to that particular bar/apparatus for safe
mounting, inverting, and dismounting.
Having a spotter to assist you for the rst few uses of the Gravity Boots is
mandatory, and recommended for each time you use the equipment.
Note: Invert only as long as you are comfortable. First time users should
be careful not to overdo it–this is NOT a no pain, no gain situation!
Before putting on the boots, rst time users should practice and fully
understand how to insert the straps and how to snap-lock the buckles.
When you are ready to use the boots, determine the correct boot for each
leg. The hook of the Right Boot will be marked “Right Boot.” Always put
Boots on the correct ankles. Failure to do so may cause discomfort or
equipment failure.
For proper mounting, inverting, and dismounting, ALWAYS follow the listed
WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS included in this booklet, as well as
the instructions for the Rack or Inversion Table with Conversion Bar.
