General Usage Guide

1. Using the Rapid Change spring bar

The new patent pending Rapid Change (RC) spring bar (Fig. 20) dramatically changes the speed and

ease of moving your spring bar! Simply lift it up with the springs in place & move it to the desired new loca-

tion - job done. Please note there is no longer a removable carriage stopper

as there are integrated carriage stoppers on the side arms of the Spring bar.

Adjusting the RC spring bar is up to 12 times faster than moving a traditional

spring bar, which required removal of springs, moving the stopper, moving

the spring bar & reattaching the springs.

Important - The RC spring bar must always be moved with at least one spring

attached. Visit the Align-Pilates YouTube channel for a video on adjusting the

RC spring bar.

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. To adjust the bar:

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

foot bar pin can be stored in the foot bar pin storage slot (Fig. 22).

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.

3. Adjusting the Rope Length

To adjust the ropes when using the reformer, both ropes are simulta-

neously adjusted by loosening the adjustment knob underneath the

head rest (Fig. 23) pulling back on the knob and sliding the T bar in our

out. Sliding the T bar in shortens the ropes & pulling it out lengthens the

ropes. Therefore as you move the spring bar away from the standing

platform you should move the T bar in under the carriage.

In summary when the spring bar is in position 1 the chrome part of the

T bar should be all the way out (completely visible) and for position 4

only the end of the chrome T bar should be visible. If you need to ad-

just the ropes more than is possible with the T bar then you can adjust

the ropes using the rope control levers under the carriage - simply pull

down the cam lever and slide the rope forward or backward to the desired length and then release the

cam. In normal use if the ropes are correctly set up using the T bar should be all that is needed. Please

also note that lowering the rope pulley position also shortens the rope as well as giving an alternative pull

location.
