I. INSTALLING THE ALLEGRO 2 FOOT STRAP
Feed the loops of the footstrap between the frame and standing
platform, through the footman’s loops, and then around the hook
plates on the underside of the standing platform as shown in
Figure A.
For a long footstrap, place the
loops around the outer hooks.
For a short footstrap, place the
loops around the inner hooks.
For a medium length footstrap,
place one loop around the
outer hook and the other loop
around the inner hook. See
Figure A.
IMPORTANT SAFETY TIP:
The foot strap must be
checked for proper installation
before each use. An improperly
installed foot strap can lead to
serious injury.

A. INSTALL LEGS
IMPORTANT: INSTALL THE FOOTBAR FIRST!

footbar locking pins.
2. If you have a hard floor put a Pilates mat on the floor next to
the Reformer to protect the finish.
3. Grabbing the Reformer frame, roll the Reformer on its side.
4. Using the included 5/32 allen wrench remove the screws and
washers holding one foot on. Set the screws and washers
aside to install the new foot. Push the spacers out of the
old feet and press into new feet. This may take some effort
and you may want to use something like the handle top of a
screwdriver to help push them in.
5. Install two alignment screws where the foot was. (Figure C)
6. Loosely install the leg with the 5” long bolt, lock washer, and
washer as shown in Figure C.
7. Carefully align the outer edges of the leg with the outer edge
of the frame
8. Tighten the bolt with the wrench provided. Bolt should be very
tight.

Kit includes wheel brackets for right and left legs and Allen

standard and extended leg configurations but they are not
interchangeable. Assembly for both versions is the same. Wheels
are usually attached at the foot end of the frame, but can be
installed on the head-end if needed. If wheels are installed on the
head end of the Reformer, it cannot be stored on end.

B. STANDING THE ALLEGRO 2 WITH THE WHEEL KITS
With wheels you can store the
Allegro 2 by standing it on its
foot-end (Figure H).
IMPORTANT SAFETY TIP:
Before standing make sure
the footbar is in the correct
position (number 3 vertical
position, and number 1
horizontal position) and both
locking pins are engaged as
shown in Figure G. You can not
stand the Allegro 2 without
wheels or if you have a Tower
installed.
IV. WALL SECURITY
STRAP
For additional safety, Balanced Body offers a Vertical Storage
Strap (part# 101-000), which fastens the Allegro 2 (without
Tower) to a wall when in standing position with wheels.
V. FOURTH-SIDE FOR TOWER PUSH-THRU BAR (PTB)
A fourth side for the PTB
(part# 950-172) can be
ordered separately. To install,
take the PTB off the frame by
removing the T-pins. Insert and
tighten the included screws
into the holes as shown in
Figure I.
Repeat on the other side then
re-attach the PTB to the frame
using the T-pins.
VI. MAT CONVERSION
To install the mat (part# 714-015) on the frame disengage the
springs and move the carriage all the way to the head end of the
Reformer. Place the mat (upholstered side up) into the frame and
slide the wooden tongue of the mat under the standing platform
on the foot-end of the frame.
