I. IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Equipment Safety Instructions:
The proper utilization of Pilates equipment can enhance the execution of numerous Pilates exercises
in a secure and efficient manner. Nevertheless, it is crucial to exercise care and caution due to the
potential risks associated with exercise equipment, particularly when spring resistance is involved.
If you lack experience or are using this equipment for the first time, it is essential to have a trained
professional supervise your usage. It is important to ensure that both you and your clients/patients
have received adequate instruction on the appropriate and safe utilization of this equipment.
1. Ensure the equipment is placed on a stable and level surface.
2. For optimal performance, allow at least 1m of clear space on either side of the Reformer.
3. Assemble the equipment following the manufacturer’s instructions and make sure all parts are
securely fastened.
4. Regularly inspect the equipment for any loose or damaged components. Do not use if any parts are
broken or malfunctioning.
5. Be careful of fingers from folding/unfolding and moving the carriage.

User Precautions:
1. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any new exercise program, especially if
you have any medical conditions, injuries, or are pregnant.
2. Wear comfortable workout attire that allows for freedom of movement.
3. Keep body, clothing and hair free from all moving parts.
4. Remove any jewellery, watches, or accessories that could interfere with your workout or damage the
equipment.
5. Start with a warm-up to prepare your body for exercise. Perform gentle stretches and mobilization
exercises.
6. Familiarize yourself with the various parts of the reformer equipment, including the foot bar,
carriage, straps, and springs.
7. Maintain proper form and alignment throughout your workout. Engage your core and keep your
spine neutral.
8. Breathe naturally and avoid holding your breath during exercises.
9. Perform exercises within your comfortable range of motion. Avoid excessive or jerky movements that
may cause injury.

Equipment Usage:
1. Adjust the equipment settings, such as foot bar height and spring tension, according to your
instructor’s guidance and your fitness level.
2. Always check that the springs and straps are in good condition and securely attached before use.
3. Do not sit on carriage while adjusting levels.
4. Take care when attaching and detaching springs.
5. Place your hands and feet in the designated areas on the carriage and foot bar while performing
exercises.
6. Use proper grip and control during exercises to ensure stability and avoid slipping.
7. Avoid sudden movements or excessive force that may cause the carriage to move uncontrollably.
8. Be mindful of the equipment’s weight limit and do not exceed it.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
1. Clean the equipment regularly with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser and a soft cloth.
2. Inspect the equipment for any signs of wear or damage for example, springs, ropes and rollers. Do not
use if parts are damaged.
3. All hardware should be checked every 2 months to make sure that every nut, bolt and fastener is
secure. If, at any time, a component exhibits free play, its hardware needs to be properly re-tightened
immediately.
4. Lubricate moving parts, such as wheels or springs, as recommended by the manufacturer.
5. Store the equipment in a dry and clean area when not in use.
6. Any spring that exhibits early signs of fatigue (for example, separation in coils) need to be replaced
immediately. High-use facilities should replace springs more often.
7. Over time you may experience some minor "fraying" in the ropes. Fraying is completely normal and to
be expected. Any ropes with excess fraying, tearing or other problems need to be replaced
immediately.
