ASSEMBLE THE TRAPEZE CANOPY
1. Using the provided 3/16” allen wrench, loosen the set screws
in each of the eight flange connectors mounted to the outside
of the frame. Remove the two vertical tubes from the box
and the sliding push thru bar system. Lay the tubes down
so the holes on the sides of the tubes face away from each
other. Take the sliders of the Push Through Bar (PTB) and
slide them over the tubes opposite the end with the eye bolts,
you will need to pull the knobs of the sliders out to move the
sliders up the tubes. Continue to move the sliders up the
tubes until the pins lock into the bottom set of the three holes
in the tube. Make sure both sliders are locked into the same
bottom holes. Insert the provided cotter pins into each of
the 1/8” holes near the bottom ends of the tube. Pick up this
assembled tube set, be careful of the PTB, it may swing; place
the assembly in the flanges on the head end of the machine
(the end with the vinyl flaps). Be carefully of the cotter pins so
they do not scratch the vinyl or wooden frame. The cotter pins
will automatically set the tubing height.
2. Insert the provided cotter pins into each of the 1/8” holes near
the bottom ends of the other two vertical tubes. Pick up the
tube assembly with the vertical slider and place the tube ends
into the flanges on the foot end of the frame.
3. 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.
4. Using the 3/16” allen wrench, tighten the set screws in the
corner fittings and in the flanges around the frame. After
tightening all set screws in all the corner angles, test the
movement of the sliding push thru bar. To do this pull the
knobs of the sliders out and start sliding the PTB up or down.
This system should move easily and not stick when uniform
pressure is applied on each side. If the sliders stick when
moving the position, simply loosen the set screws that are
holding the vertical poles, rotate the tubes as necessary until
the sliders move freely. Be sure to re-tighten all set screws.
Remove the cotter pins from the tubes and save for future
use.

INSTALLING SHOULDER RESTS AND POSTS
1. Note the two protruding studs on the bottom of the shoulder
rests. Lower the shoulder rest studs into the key holes and
slide shoulder rests away from the carriage pad. See Figure A.
Note: The shoulder rests can be installed in two positions. One
position is wider and more comfortable for broad shoulders.
Swap the left and right shoulder rests to change between
standard and wide configurations.
2. Screw the locking shoulder posts onto the exposed bolt on
each shoulder rest. Turn the posts clockwise to tighten them
and lock the shoulder rests into position. See Figure B. Over
tightening the posts will make them difficult to remove. They
should be snug but not too tight. To remove the shoulder
rests, turn the post counter-clockwise 1-2 turns and gently
slide the shoulder rests toward the carriage, then lift them up
and out.
INSTALLING/REMOVING THE PUSH THROUGH BAR
(PTB) 4TH SIDE
Using the provided 7/32” allen wrench and button head screws
with pin ends, move the PTB to a 45 degree position. Line up
the 4th side opening with the threaded holes in the PTB. Thread
in one screw into the side of the PTB, the pin end of the screw
will go inside the 4th side. Repeat for the other side. Tighten
both screws with the allen wrench. Reverse these instructions to
remove the 4th side. Keep these button head screws if needed
later.
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.
ASSEMBLE THE REFORMER
Swing the footbar up and place the support into position.
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.
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 by twisting them clockwise by hand.
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
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.
Inspect all nuts, eyebolts and setscrews for tightness. Tighten or
replace if necessary.
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.
