HOW TO ADJUST YOUR SLIDING PUSH THROUGH BAR
Position your hands on the outside of each slider. Place your
middle and/or ring fingers under the silver base of the knob; right
where the black body of the knob threads into. Place your index
finger and thumb around the knob itself. Pull each of the knobs
outwards, away from the vertical tubes, until they stop. Using the
same force on each arm, move the slider upwards or downwards
to each new location. Once you near a new location slightly
release the outward pull of the knobs. The pins will automatically
fall into the next position when aligned.
PUSH-THROUGH BAR CONTROL WARNING!
The push-through bar can be extremely dangerous to both the
client and trainer if used improperly.
Always control the push-through bar securely through any
movement, especially when the bar has springs attached to it. If
the bar is released under spring tension, it will move forcefully in
the direction of the spring connection point. Always be aware of
the full arc area of the bar and keep that area clear of both the
instructor’s body and the client’s body.
Note: Use only with qualified instructor supervision. When not
in use, the push-through bar should be secured out of the way
with the safety strap. Attach the safety strap by looping the strap
around the top end tube and through the sewn end loop. Never
attach the safety strap to any eye bolt on the frame.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
It is recommended to check to ensure the pins in the plunger
knobs protrude and lock into the vertical tubes. First pull both
knobs out and start moving the sliders to a different position.
Release the knobs before the next hole and continue to slide the
system. Once over a hole the pin of the knob will drop into the
opening. Once each slider is in a new position apply a down force
on the PTB directly downwards. The pins of the sliders should
not come out of the holes. If the pins do not stay in the tube
holes, the pull knobs need to be replaced; call Balanced Body for
replacement parts.
Cleaning
To clean wood and metal, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Wipe
dry. Periodically check the machine for anything that might have
become loose, such as the eyebolts where the springs attach.
If you have a mat or moon box please note that Balanced Body
upholstery has built-in antimicrobial/antibacterial protection. For
light soiling use a solution of 10% household liquid dish soap
with warm water applied with a soft damp cloth (do not use
paper towels). If necessary a solution of liquid cleanser and water
applied with a soft bristle will also work. For heavier soiling please
call Balanced Body Technical Support.
