Assembly
1) Remove all items from the box and lay out as illustrated in Fig.1 on a clean smooth floor. Note:
be sure to put something soft underneath the veneered maple panels to avoid scratching.
4) Attach the 2 x Chrome Pivot Pole Receiving Plates (9) to 2 x Maple Veneered Side Panels (1+2)
(one per side) with 4 x Medium bolts with blue loctite & washers (47) (2 bolts per side). See Fig.3.
2) Attach the 2 x Spring Holder Tree (8) to the Base Frame (6) using 4 x Medium bolts & nuts
without loctite (49) (2 bolts per Spring Holder Tree) and tighten completely, see Fig.2.
Note: the
Base Frame should have the wheels angled upwards, so that they do not touch the floor.
Fig.2
3) Attach the Seat Support Frame (7) to the top of the Spring Holder Trees (8) using 4 x Medium
bolts with nuts without loctite (49) (2 bolts per side). Leave hand tight for now, see Fig.2.

5) Insert the black plastic bush (30) into the maple panel as shown in Fig. 4. Attach the 2 x Maple
Veneered Side Panels (1+2) loosely to the Seat Support Frame (7) with 4 x Medium bolts with blue
loctite & washers (47) (2 bolts per side). See Fig.4. Do not fully tighten at this stage.
6) Attach the 2 x Handle Holders (15) using 2 x Long eyelet bolt (38) (in a vertical position) and 2 x
Extra long bolt with loctite, nuts & washers (51) for the top (1 of each bolt for each side panel). For
the bottom use 4 x Extra long bolt with loctite, nuts & washers (51) (2 bolts for each side
panel). See Fig.5. Do not fully tighten all of the bolts at this stage, otherwise you will have difficultly
when inserting the Foot Pedals into the Chrome Pivot Pole Receiving Plates.

7) Now insert 4 x Long bolts with loctite, nuts & washers (50) (2 bolts for each side panel) to
secure side panels in place. Do not fully tighten at this stage.
8) Whilst the Foot Pedals are still upside down,
as in Fig. 7, thread the 1 x Chrome Pedal Pivot
Pole (10) through the first of the foot pedals,
before threading all the way through pause at
the middle to slide the 1 x Nylon washer (25)
onto the pivot pole, now continue to thread
the pole through the second foot pedal. The
nylon washer should sit between the two foot
pedals as in Fig. 8. Before moving onto step
10, connect the foot pedals together with the
connecting bar fastener (Fig.7).

9) Insert the 1 x Chrome Pedal Pivot Pole (10) with the now attached Foot Pedals into the 2 x
Chrome Pivot Pole Receiving Plates (9).
10) Next attach the 1 x Maple Veneered Front Plate (5) to the Seat Support Frame (7) with 2 x
Medium bolts with washers & nuts (49). Now you can fully tighten all of the bolts you put from
Steps 3 to 5.
11) Using 4 x Medium bolts with washers & nuts (49) attach the Upholstered Seat Pad (20) into
place and fully tighten.
Note: the cut outs on the seat pad should be at the back of the chair.
12) Firstly, attach the 4 x springs (32+33) to the hooks at the foot pad end of the split pedals,
ensuring each Foot Pedal has 2 of each strength spring. Next, go around the back of the chair
and attach the springs to the Spring Holder Trees. Only one spring can attach to each position. To
check that the pedals hang at the same height disconnect the Connecting Bar Fastener. If they
do not hang equally, the height can be fine tuned by adjusting the hook position by loosening
the bottom nut of the hook, then adjusting the position using the top nut and re-tightening. Note:
Green= Strong & Black = Extra Strong

13) Insert the 2 x Jump Board fasteners (29) into place. Then, attach the 2 x Short eyelet bolts (37)
in the 2 holes in the front of the Base Frame with Wheels (6) in a vertical position, as shown in Fig.
15.
14) To assemble the two-part handles slide the 2 x Black Upper Handles (16) over the 2 x Chrome
Height Adjustment Bars for Handles (17) and secure with 6 x Short bolts with loctite & washers (45).
Tighten fully.
15) Slide the assembled handles into the handle holders, 1 on each side, then insert the 2 x Twist
& pull height adjustment knobs (28). To adjust: pull out the Twist & Pull knob, move the handle to
the correct height, let go of the knob to allow the locking pin to locate in to one of the 9 holes.
Once located at the desired height, tighten the knob to prevent rattle and to fully secure the
handles.
16) Finally, before first use go over the Combo Chair II and ensure that all bolts have been
properly tightened then your Align-Pilates Combo Chair II is complete!

The Jump Board from the A2 Series can fit into the back of your Combo Chair II. This is an optional
extra that can be added at a later date.
Please read the below information before first use:
This combo chair is for indoor use only or an appropriate level surface of a non-slip nature. Should
the floor be slippery a non-slip mat should be used under the chair. The combo chair is not a toy
and should not be used by children without the guidance of a suitable qualified Pilates
professional.
Spring Adjustment
The higher the peg on the Spring Holder Tree the greater the spring resistance on the split pedals.
The lower the peg on the Spring Holder Tree the lighter the resistance and the lower the split
pedals will be to the floor. There are 4 spring positions, springs should be used at the same height
on each side of the same tree otherwise one of the springs will not be correctly tensioned and
the spring could come unattached from the tree. Always check springs are properly attached
and NEVER adjust whilst someone is on the equipment or the spring is under tension.
Splitting the Pedals
To split the pedals simply unscrew the Connecting Bar Fastener that is located under the pedals,
slide back the bar to separate the pedals and refasten to secure the Connecting Bar out of the
way. The pedals can now operate independently. To reconnect simply reverse this procedure.
Adjusting the Height of the Handles
Holding the upper part of the handle, loosen, but do not remove, the knob on the handle holder
then pull the knob out which will disengage the connector pin and allow you to adjust the height
of the handle. Release the knob when you get to the height you desire and continue to move
the handle until the locking pin locates in to one of the 9 height adjustment holes
available. Once located at the desired height tighten the knob to prevent and rattle and to fully
secure the handles.
Periodic Maintenance
We recommend that you check that all the bolts are properly tightened as part of your regular
maintenance routines. For cleaning upholstery we recommend cleaning with gym wipes from
vital-clean.de which are available worldwide. For further information on cleaning recommenda-
tions and equipment maintenance please visit our website: https://www.mad-hq.com/align-pi-
lates-resources and refer the Align-Pilates Routine Safety & Maintenance Guide
Spring Life
Please always check springs for signs of wear and tear before use. Springs showing any sign of
damage or which do not fully return to their closed position should be replaced immediately.
Align-Pilates should be changed at least every 2 years.
