IMPORTANT! INSPECT FOR FREIGHT DAMAGE

If you see any obvious crate damage, bring it to the attention of the freight company

driver immediately so that you can open it in his presence to verify any possible

damage to the contents. This would include holes in the crate, damaged corners or

any evidence that the crate has been mishandled.

IN CASE OF FREIGHT DAMAGE

If there is freight damage, make certain you keep all packaging material. Please call

Balanced Body AND the freight company as soon as possible.

Attach the footbar

This can be done by one person, but it is easier and safer to have a person hold each

end.

Pull out on the round, black knobs on either side of the silver trunion plates and slide

the trunion into the aluminum C-channels that run down both sides of the reformer

frame.

Release the knobs to lock the footbar in place. It can be positioned at any point along

the entire length of the reformer.

Attach the black stops to the end of the channels with the provided wood screws.

Install the carriage

Turn the carriage over and clean all the wheels of shipping dust, etc. Clean the full

length of the rail surfaces inside the frame. Carefully place the carriage into the

frame with the headrest facing away from the footbar.

Attach the springs to the underside of the carriage

Locate the bracket with ve eye-bolts attached beneath the carriage.

Hook the springs down into the tops of the eyes. The open end of the hook should be

facing down.

The bodies of the springs should rest on the at, padded brace between the two

wheels.

Install the springbar

If your reformer is the standard conguration, the springbar will be in the sitting box

along with the rest of the hardware. Install it into the “gears” under the footbar with

its hooks facing up.

The colored tabs on the springs should be visible on the ends of the springs which

protrude from under the carriage.

Install the risers

Unwrap the adjustable riser blocks from their paper wrapping. You will have four

black screws and a hex key provided in your hardware package.

Install the riser blocks to the outside of the frame at the head end. The long slots in

the risers go to the top with the fully rounded edges facing out.

Start both screws in a riser block before tightening. This will help ensure that there

is enough wiggle room to get the second screw aligned so that it will thread cleanly.

When both screws are engaged, tighten them with the hex key.

Attach the pulleys to the risers

In your hardware package are two pulleys with large black knobs. Unscrew the black

knobs and remove. Take o one of the large washers from the exposed bolt on a

pulley and install the bolt through the elongated slot on a riser. Place the washer

back onto the bolt on the backside of the riser and add the black knob. Do this to both

risers, making sure the pulleys are facing the carriage.

You can raise and lower the pulleys by loosening the black knob and sliding the

pulley up or down in the slot.

Rope clipped to D-ring on loop

Loops over shoulders

Attach the ropes

To attach the ropes, rst engage at least

one spring from the carriage to the

springbar to stabilize the carriage.

Remove the ropes from the bag. Clip the

end of the ropes to the D-rings on the

cotton loops. Place the cotton loops over

the shoulder posts. Run the free ends

of the ropes down through the pulleys

mounted inside the head end of the

frame. (If adjustable risers have been

ordered, install them rst. See above.)

Bring the free ends of the ropes back

toward the carriage and insert them

through the rst chrome eyestrap, into

the cam cleats, and nally out through

the second chrome eyestrap. Pull on

both ropes until equal pressure is felt

against the spring resistance. Adjust

more length by picking the rope up out

of the cam cleats and feeding it out

towards the pulleys.To secure, push the

rope back down into the cleats.

Footplates supported by footbar

Install your padded footplate

Pull out the two round knobs on the

trunion plates and slide the footbar

all the way to the foot end of the

reformer. Loosen the two black knobs

on the back of the frame beneath

the built-in standing platform. Place

the tongue of the padded footplate

into the aluminum bracket on the

inside of the frame with the padded

side facing the carriage. Tighten the

two black knobs on the back of the

frame. Slide the footbar forward until

it clicks into the fourth hole. This

should bring it into rm contact with

the back of the padded footplate for

support while in use.
