Safety & Usage
GEARBAR
The gearbar position determines the amount of initial
tension on the springs. The slot closest to the wooden
standing platform is position #1; the next is position
#2; the next is position #3. Lower position numbers
provide higher spring tension.
Adjusting the Gearbar
◗Do not sit on carriage while adjusting.
◗Remove all springs from gearbar.
◗Place gearbar in desired position.
◗Ensure gearbar slides fully into slots.
◗Ensure concave indentations face toward footbar.
Position gearbar relative to the carriage to create initial
tension on the springs, i.e. the gearbar should not be
in position #3 if the carriage stopper is in position #1
or #2 as there will not be any spring tension.
#1
#2
#3
CARRIAGE STOPPER
The carriage stopper position determines how close
the carriage slides in toward the wooden standing
platform and dictates the range of motion required
of the body’s joints. The hole closest to the wooden
standing platform is referred to as position #1;
the next hole is position #2, etc.
Adjusting the Carriage Stopper
◗Do not sit on carriage while adjusting.
◗Remove all springs from gearbar.
◗Insert carriage stopper in one of six positions.
◗Be sure carriage stopper is completely
inserted in the hole and is not loose.
The carriage stopper position should usually be
selected so that when lying supine (on your back),
with heels on the footbar, there is a 90 degree
angle of flexion at the hip joint when the carriage
is against the carriage stopper. If injury, disease or
other limitations restrict flexion at the hips or knees,
adjust the carriage stopper by placing it farther out.
Adjustments can also be made for the exercise
being performed.
NOTE: The carriage stopper must be inserted in one
of the six positions AT ALL TIMES. Using the Reformer
without the carriage stopper may cause damage to
the gearbar assembly or rollers.
#6#5#4#3#2#1
SPRINGS
REPLACE ALL SPRINGS EVERY 24 MONT S.
The number of springs attached to the gearbar
determines the total amount of resistance.
SPX®Reformers are equipped with four
100%-tension springs, and one 50% spring.
Adjusting Springs
◗Take care when attaching and detaching springs.
◗or safety, place one hand on gearbar.
◗irmly grasp spring (not the ball on the spring)
and stretch it to hook to or unhook from gearbar.
◗Ensure ball end rests securely in concave
indentations of gearbar.
2082H-5 OwnersManual-SPX_2082H-2 OwnersManual-SPX 12-07-13 2:31 PM Page 8

OOTBAR
The footbar can be set at four different heights
to facilitate various Reformer exercises and to
accommodate physical differences and abilities.
The cradle closest to the gearbar is position #1
the cradle farthest away is position #4.
Adjusting the Footbar
◗The footbar can be adjusted while standing
beside the Reformer or sitting on the carriage.
◗Gently pull footbar up and lift swing arm
support out of footbar adjustment cradle.
◗Lift or lower footbar to the desired height
and place swing arm support securely
into nearest footbar adjustment cradle.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that the Reformer be
placed on some type of non-skid material to prevent
slipping and/or damage to flooring or carpet.
HEADREST
The headrest adjusts to three positions: flat,
half-raised or fully raised. It should be adjusted on
an individual basis to ensure neck and shoulders
are comfortable and tension-free when lying supine.
In exercises where the hips are lifted higher than
the shoulders, headrest should be flat – even when
beginning from a supine position. In some exercises
it is raised to provide a brace for the feet.
Adjusting the eadrest
◗With no weight on headrest, lift it and hinge
adjustment block to rest securely onto wooden
edge of carriage.
MOVING RE ORMERS
The front end of all Reformers have a set of easy-roll
wheels that make moving or repositioning simple for
anyone of moderate strength.
◗Ensure springs are attached so carriage is secure,
and ropes do not drag.
◗Stand at the back of Reformer, grasp the horizontal
metal bar, and gently lift. Lift Reformer high enough
to engage easy-roll wheels.
◗Keep Reformer at waist-height or lower. Do not lift
higher as this may result in damage to floor surface.

Care & Cleaning
We recommend wiping the vinyl surface with a mixture
of water and tea tree oil, a natural disinfectant available
at most pharmacies or health food stores. Add 1tsp
of tea tree oil to a 1L or 1qt spray bottle of water.
A mixture of mild soap and water can be used to
remove more persistent dirt. Ensure cleaner does
not leave an oily residue, or make surfaces slippery.
The inside of the aluminum rails and rollers should
be cleaned weekly with window cleaner and a cloth.
Spray cleaner onto cloth first, avoid spraying directly
onto surfaces, rollers or aluminum rails.
CAUTION: Never use oil lubricants as they
may damage rollers.
