ASSEMBLE THE TRAPEZE CANOPY
1. Using the provided 3/16” allen wrench, loosen the set screws
in each of the eight flanges mounted to the outside of the
Reformer frame. Insert the provided cotter pins into the 1/8”
holes near the bottom ends of each vertical tube. Pick up
the vertical tube assemblies and place the tube ends into
the flanges. The cotter pins will automatically set the tubing
height. Be careful that the cotter pin doesn’t scratch the
wooden frame. The tubes with the push-through bar go at the
head end of the machine (opposite the standing platform).
The eyebolts on the tubes should face the other end.
2. Now set the canopy top onto the four vertical tubes. You will
need help with this. The end of the canopy frame with the
black safety strap goes over the push-through bar. Be certain
all four corner fittings fit securely over the tubes.
3. Using the allen wrench, tighten the set screws in the corner
fittings and in the flanges around the Reformer frame.
4. Supporting the Push-Through Bar (PTB), remove the T-pins
one at a time and re-insert them so that they enter from the
outside of the tubes. If either pin binds, some adjustment of
the vertical tubes is needed. Simply loosen the set screws and
rotate the tubes until both pins slide in and out freely. Be sure
to re-tighten all set screws. Remove the cotter pins from the
tubes and save for future use.
ASSEMBLE THE REFORMER
5. Swing the footbar up and place the support into position.
6. Place the carriage into the frame and attach the springs
to the spring bracket on the underside of the carriage. The
springs should have the open, hooked end pointing down
through each eye bolt on the bracket and should lay across
the padded bar at the foot end of the carriage. Attach one or
more of the springs to the spring bar to secure the carriage in
position.
7. Install the shoulder rests onto the carriage by locking them
into the keyholes on either side of the headrest. They can be
set wider or narrower by reversing their placement. Always lock
them in place with the pin.
8. Install the adjustable risers with the pulleys facing the
carriage. Again, always lock them in the desired position with
their pins. Unroll the ropes and separate them. Clip a cotton
loop onto the end of each rope and hang the loops on the
shoulder rests. Thread the other end of each rope through a
pulley and back into the cam cleats on the carriage to adjust
the length. Be sure to go through the chrome eyestraps on
both sides of the cam cleats. Always push the rope firmly
down into the cleats to insure a good grip.

OPTION: INSTALLING THE TWIN MATS
1. Pull pins and completely lower risers.
2. Remove shoulder rests from the carriage.
3. Detach all springs from springbar and move the carriage
toward the head end of the frame.
4. Rotate the footbar support up to the padded section of the
footbar and then lay the footbar down onto the frame rails. It
should now be inside the frame and lower than the top of
the frame.
5. Vinyl flaps are installed inside one mat for shipping purposes.
Detach, rotate, and reinstall flaps so they hang down from the
edge of the mat aligned with eye bolts.
6. Place the mat with vinyl flaps at the head-end of the Reformer
with flaps facing the PTB. The Vinyl flaps should hang over
the head-end of frame. They are designed to protect the mat
conversion when using the PTB with a bottom spring.
7. Place the remaining mat on the foot-end of the Reformer.
Make sure the end of the mat with the feet further from the
edge is installed over the standing platform.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
8. Inspect springs for separations, and replace if needed. Inspect
snaps on springs and make sure the retractors operate
smoothly. Replace them if worn or do not operate freely. Make
sure that there are no indentations on the inside of the hooks.
9. Inspect all nuts, eyebolts and set screws for tightness.
Tighten or replace if necessary.
10. Check to see if quick release pins on the PTB operate
correctly. Does the ball at the end of the pin protrude? Does
the ball retract when the button is pressed? If not, replace
the pin.
WARNING: This machine is potentially dangerous, and Balanced
Body Inc. assumes no liability towards use or misuse. If you are
