• Loops & Handles
Check all stitching for wear or damage and replace immediately as needed.
• Ropes
Check for wear and replace if worn or frayed
• Feet Level
Check that the reformer is level and all the feet are in contact with the ground as this will affect stability
• Upholstery
Regularly clean all upholstery on your Align equipment, we recommend using Gym Wipes from Vital
Clean (www.vital-clean.de) as these will not damage your upholstery. Beware some bactericides and
strong or abrasive cleaning products will dry out the vinyl and reduce its life. Vinyl is non-absorbent, so
will not absorb dirt. Surface wiping is only required.
• Shoulder Rests - check the pads are securely bolted on to the metal frame - if loose retighten.
• Spring hooks - hand check that all eye hooks do not move. If loose remove, apply loctite and
retighten.
• Nuts & Allen Bolts - check all nuts and bolts are tight, including those on the rope pulley wheels and
those securing the head rest.
Congratulations! You are now ready to use your H1 Reformer. Now would be a good time to make a note
to replace your springs in 2 years or, within 3,000 hours of use, whichever is sooner. We hope that you enjoy
using your new H1 reformer!
12. Basic Reformer & Exercise Safety
If you are not familiar with using a Pilates reformer we suggest you seek advice from a qualified Pilates
professional in order to learn how to get the most out of your reformer and to cover the basic safety
aspects of using this type of equipment. A number of companies also offer short safety induction courses.
a) Pilates is about smooth and controlled movement, when performing exercises try to prevent the
carriage from slamming in to the carriage stops and the springs from recoilling in an uncontrolled
manner as this can damage the spring and shorten its life.
b) Secure the carriage with at least one spring when your Reformer is not in use, Do not get on the
carriage when there are no springs attached unless you deliberately want to do this.
c) When standing on the reformer always put your first foot on the standing platform and then the other on
the carriage. When getting off the reformer from standing take your foot off the carriage first and then step
down off the standing platform
d) Use your reformer in a clear space with at least 1m of space all around the machine. This equipment is
for indoor use only on a firm and flat surface
e) When using a reformer less is often more, remember when performing certain exercises less spring
resistance makes the exercise more challenging.
f) Before starting any exercise program, consult a physician.
g) Before using the equipment, read and follow instructions in the safety manual and obtain thorough
instruction from a Qualified Trainer.
h) Use equipment only for recognised Pilates repertoire.
i) Stop exercising if you experience chest pain, feel faint, have difficulty breathing or experience
musculoskeletal discomfort.
j) Keep clothing, body and hair free from all moving parts.
k) Do not use if equipment appears worn, broken or damaged. Do not attempt to repair equipment your-
self. Ensure equipment that is out of service cannot be used.
l) Do not allow children to use or be around equipment without adult supervision.
m) If standing the equipment for storage be sure it is kept in a safe place, on level ground and away from
children or activities that could knock it over. If in doubt secure the equipment in an appropriate manner.
n) Do not exceed the maximum user weight for the equipment which is 120Kg.
o) The H1 can be moved around and stood up by a single person with relative ease, as the lifting weight is
similar to lifting a heavy suitcase. However, if you have back or any similar issues you should avoid moving
or standing the H1 alone.
