2. Adjusting & Locking the foot bar
The foot bar can be positioned in 6 different positions, including flat so it is out of the way. Different
positions suit different exercises and user heights. The foot bar can also be locked in any of the positions (except flat)
by locating the locking pin in the locking pin hole (see Fig. 27). To adjust the bar:
Fig.27
Fig.28
a) Firstly remove the locking pin if the bar is locked . If raising the bar, lift the bar towards you (whilst sitting on the bed)
and release to drop into one of the positions. This can even be done from the lying position by using your foot to lift
the bar. Replace the pin if you wish to lock the bar in position. When not in use the footbar pin can be stored in the
foot bar pin storage slot (Fig. 28).
b) If lowering the bar it is best to slightly lift the foot bar towards you with one hand, whilst using your other hand to
hold the foot bar adjustment arm to smoothly guide it to the next lower, or desired position.
c) If putting the foot bar in the flat position be sure not to stand on the bar in this position as this can
damage the bar.
Note: always check the bar is secure before use, if in any way the bar feels loose or wobbly follow the
process in the maintenance schedule covering the foot bar on page 8.
5. Using the platform extender
As the name suggests the platform extender can be used to increase the size of the standing platform at the end
of the reformer. The platform can be slotted in position or removed to suit. The platform extender can also be used
at the riser end of the frame as a seat for use with a Half Cadillac or on the floor with other equipment such as a
Combo Chair. The platform extender has rubber corners to protect the vinyl but please take care not to knock the
extender on the foot bar when placing or removing it as this may damage it. The anti-slip feet should sit in between
the raised lip on the top of the runners to prevent
sideways movement.
7. Working with springs
As previously stated if the spring bar and carriage stoppers are in the correct corresponding positions then the springs
should be under a light tension when attached to the spring bar. If the springs are not under tension it is possible they
could come off accidentally, so be sure the spring bar and carriage stopper are in the correct corresponding
positions. Green is heavy, red is medium and blue is light - use in a combination to suit the desired exercise.
When doing asymmetric exercises where the carriage is pushed from one side, rather than centrally, always attach
the springs to the same side of the spring bar as the side you are pushing from, or equally from the centre of the
spring bar. This ensures the carriage runs smoothly.
To change the springs positions, go under the reformer, unclip the shock cord and unthread it from the spring eyelets,
then uncoil the spring eyelet from the pig tail bolt and release the velcro on the spring
covers so the spring can be removed. Switch the cover to the new spring and reverse this process. See the warranty
for spring life expectancy. Always replace springs immediately if there is any sign of
deformation or damage and cease using immediately.
