TO SETUP
1. Remove the ladder barrel from the boxes. Remove all zip ties
(with scissors) and bags from the unit.
2. Install the wooden dowel into the two holes at the top of the
ladder. Note there are two (2) predrilled holes in the dowel,
these will face backwards (away from the barrel) and line up
with the two holes in the ladder uprights. See Fig. A.
3. The dowel will be centered in the ladder uprights. Using a
Phillips head screwdriver, install the two (2) included screws
into the uprights and dowel securing the dowel into position
(See Fig. A). The heads of the screws will be slightly sub-flush
with the wood uprights when properly tightened.

TO ADJUST
Stand between the ladder and the barrel facing towards the
barrel. Place your hands in the grey handles on the outside of the
barrel sides. Using either foot firmly press down on the foot pedal
(see Fig. B) continue to hold the foot pedal down and push or pull
the barrel towards or away from you.
When in the desired location release the foot pedal and pins will
lock the barrel into position. Be sure to push the barrel forward to
ensure the barrel is locked in a position, if it is not this push will
locate it into a position. On the right bottom frame rail, if
standing between the barrel and the ladder, there are numbers to
visually see which position you are in. There are ten (10) positions
to adjust back and forth to accommodate different heights and
different exercises.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE TIPS
Frame rails and dowel
Clean all skin-contact parts after each use, including the ladder
dowels and the bottom frame rails. This ensures that the barrel
will slide smoothly. Use a solution of a mild soap and water or
Balanced Body Clean. Dry thoroughly.
Upholstery
Balanced Body upholstery has a 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. 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.
