3. Check the wheel Alignment of the side wheels

a) Occasionally the side wheels on your reformer may be knocked out of alignment. You will know this

if you hear squeaking where the side of one of the horizontal wheels hits the side of the runner. If this is

the case adjustment is easy by following these simple steps

b) Identify which side of the carriage the fixed wheels are on (this should be the right hand side if

looking from the spring bar end towards the head rest).

c) Disconnect all springs and roll the carriage to the riser end of the

reformer. Now push the carriage from the side ensuring both the

fixed side wheels are touching the side wall of the runner.

d) Now tilt the reformer on its right hand side and using an 8mm

spanner slacken the locking nuts (Fig 22) on each of the adjustable side

wheels, then screw in or out allen Bolt 2 (Fig 22) so the adjustable side

wheel stops approximately 2mm from the edge of the

runner. Holding the allen bolt in position with an allen key retighten the locking nut 2. Then

tighten the allen bolt 1 and as before tighten the locking nut. Repeat the process for the other

side wheel.

e) Lower the reformer, ensuring it is level and then with NO springs attached gently move the carriage

for the full length of the frame and back, ensuring you push it from a central position so as to keep it in

line, now attach a pair of springs and check the bed is running smoothly with no squeaking,

additional fine tuning may be necessary to achieve optimal performance.

4. Check the wheels and bearings are not damaged. If damaged replace.

16. 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 folding 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 F2 can be moved around either open or folded 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 folding the F2 alone.
