1. Loosen the setscrews in the circular tube receivers with
included Allen wrench (see Fig. A).
2. Lower the vertical (longer) tubes into receivers. Be sure
that the loop of the bottom eyebolt on each vertical tube is

for the Push-Through Bar (PTB) on the side of the tubes are
facing inward/towards each other. (see Fig. B). Don’t tighten
setscrews yet.

3. Loosen the setscrews on the corner connectors attatched
to the horizontal tube. Position horizontal tube on top of the
ends of the vertical tubes so the loops on the black safety
strap face the Reformer (Fig. C). Do not tighten screws yet.
4. Align the Push-Through
Bar (PTB) with middle
recessed holes on the
inside of the vertical tubes.
5. Press button on T-pins and
insert through outside of
vertical tube and into the
holes of the PTB (Fig. D).
6. Release T-pin buttons.
7. Now tighten all set screws on the bracket receivers and corner
connectors. If PTB T-pins do not install/remove easily, the
vertical tube set screws must be loosened and the vertical
tubes rotated into alignment. Then re-tighten set screws.
OPTION: INSTALLING THE TWIN MATS
1. Pull pins and lower risers.
2. Detach all springs from springbar and move the carriage
toward the head end of the frame.
3. 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.
4. Remove shoulder rests from the carriage. If the shoulder rests
are not detachable, the carriage will need to be turned upside
down. (See the Appendix.)
5. Vinyl flaps are installed inside the 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 tower. The Vinyl flaps should hang over
the head-end of frame. They are designed to protect the
Reformer frame when using the Push-Through Bar 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.
APPENDIX - TURNING THE CARRIAGE UPSIDE DOWN
(USE ONLY IF THE SHOULDER RESTS ARE NOT
DETACHABLE).
Note: To protect upholstery, make sure Reformer rails are clean
before beginning.
1. Detach the springs from
springbar.
2. Carriage should be
positioned at the riser end
of the frame.
3. Rest loops and ropes
on the floor under the
Reformer.
4. Lifting the head end of
the carriage, turn it upside
down so the upholstery is
resting on the metal rails.
