INSTALL THE CARRIAGE
Clean all the carriage wheels and the metal rail surfaces of
the frame. Carefully place the carriage into the frame with the
headrest facing away from the footbar.
INSTALL THE STRAPS
Place strap handles over shoulder
rests. Insert the end of leather strap
with the black fabric through the
caster (rough leather side is against
the caster) as shown in Figure A.
Guide the strap through the silver loop under the carriage as
shown in figure B. Depress the metal lever on the clip and guide
the black end of the strap through. It is important that the black
strap goes through the clip as shown in Figure C. Adjust until
strap is tight.
Note: straps would need to be adjusted if the springbar is moved
to a different gear.
ATTACH THE SPRINGS TO THE
UNDERSIDE OF THE CARRIAGE
Attach one spring to each eye-bolt on
the underside of the carriage as shown
in Figure D. The open end of the spring
hook should be facing down.
INSTALL THE SPRINGBAR
Place the springbar with hooks facing up into
the gear block as shown in Figure E.

INSTALLING THE SHOULDER RESTS ON THE
CENTERLINE™ REFORMER
Slide the shoulder rests into the shoulder lock plate on the
carriage. There are two options to fix the shoulder rests.
1. Use the detent pin with
lanyard for fast and easy
removal. Unscrew the
silver screw next to the
headrest and guide the
lanyard through it. Screw
back into place. Use the
detent pin to lock the
shoulder rests.
2. Use screw with the
locking knob. Guide the
screw through the hole in
the shoulder bracket and
the shoulder bracket lock.
Use the locking knob to
lock it from under the
carriage.
CARRIAGE EXTENSION STOPPER
Carriage stoppers are
installed in the right
hand carriage rail
(if you are sitting on
the carriage) to limit
the distance the
carriage can travel.
See Figure H.
This range limiter is most commonly used for clients who have a
limited range of motion, or to stop the carriage from traveling too
far. The CenterLine also features carriage stopper positions at the
footbar end of the frame, used to change the carriage starting
position and spring resistance.
INSTALL THE OPTIONAL FOOT PLATE
Correct installation of the
foot plate is very
important. Properly
installed, all BB foot plates
should be vertical and fully
supported by the footbar.
Loosen the two black knobs located at
the footbar end of the frame. Place the
footbar support into the slot in the gear
block as shown in Figure I. Slide the
padded foot plate into the bracket on
the inside of the frame. Tighten the two
black knobs to secure the foot plate into
position. The Footbar will support the foot
plate as shown (Fig. J)
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
You can extend the life of upholstery by keeping it clean and free
of dirt, oil and perspiration. After each use, wipe down all skin-
contact parts after each use, including carriage, shoulder and head
rests.
Equipment upholstery is coated with BeautyGard®, which offers
antibacterial protection. If you want additional disinfection,
Balanced Body offers Balanced Body CleanTM disinfecting
solution. Use of any other solution (especially those containing
essential oils) will shorten the life of some equipment and is not
recommended. A mild soap and water solution may also be used.
Be sure to dry thoroughly.
For heavier soiling please call Balanced Body Technical Support.
Wheel tracks and wheels should be cleaned regularly with a cloth
to ensure that tracks smoothly and quietly.
Wash foot strap regularly. Place in pillowcase, wash on gentle
cycle, air dry.
Be sure to inspect springs regularly.
If you have any questions on cleaning or maintenance, please call
Balanced Body Technical Support.
Lubrication and adjustment
As needed, lubricate casters with silicone spray. Be careful of
overspray. Never use “wet” lubricants like WD40 or oil. Do not for
any reason lubricate the carriage wheels.
In case of freight damage
If there is freight damage, make certain you keep all packaging
material. Please call Balanced Body immediately.
