10. Accessories for your C1-Pro Reformer

If you have a C1-Pro Reformer, then either an A2 Half Cadillac or C1-Pro Full Cadillac can be

used in conjunction with the C1-Pro Leg extensions. Note: only the Half Cadillac can be used with

the low leg version of the C1-Pro but neither the Half or Full Cadillac is compatible with the earlier

C1 or C1-R models.

Don't forget you can also add optional Jump Board, Mattress Convertor and Standing Platform or

Sitting Box to complete your Pilates studio. For the complete range of Align-Pilates apparatus & a

11. Periodic Maintenance

Please check the apparatus before first use and after each of the first few uses to check that all the fittings

are securely fastened. Thereafter, it is important to follow a regular maintenance schedule by someone

familiar with the equipment and record your maintenance checks. Equally inspection should be made

immediately if any part appears not be operating correctly or something appears to be loose. Below

follows a basic maintenance guide though our detailed maintenance guide and a sample maintenance

log can be downloaded from

• Springs - Inspect for signs of wear, look for deformation, kinks, gaps and corrosion. Springs showing

signs of damage must not be used and must be replaced immediately. Springs must be replaced

every 2 years or after 3,000 hours, whichever is first, or immediately if showing signs of fatigue or

deformation

• Foot Bar - check that all allen bolts securing the padded bar to the aluminium arms and to the steel

engagement bar and through the frame are tight

• Runners - ensure the runners are regularly cleaned and kept free from dirt as this is the main cause for

a noisy reformer. If excess dirt is spotted on the runners then the wheels may also need cleaning. We

recommend cleaning the runners with a window cleaner eg. Windowlene.

• Ropes and Handles - check ropes for signs of wear, fraying or nicks and replace if damaged. Check

stitching on handles is intact and handles are not overly worn.

• PVC Upholstery - always ensure that belts, jewellery and shoes are removed when working on the

equipment as buckles, rings, watches and bangles can all end up damaging the upholstery. For

cleaning upholstery we recommend cleaning with Gym Wipes from vital-clean.de, which are

available worldwide. For further information on cleaning recommendations see the link above.

• Wheels - Remove the carriage and check for smooth rotation, if the wheels are not turning smoothly or

are scarred or damaged this will impede smooth and quiet running of the equipment and the wheels

need to be replaced.

• Shoulder Rests - check the pads are securely bolted on to the metal frame - if loose retighten.

• Spring hooks - hand check that all eye hooks will not move. If loose remove, apply loctite and

retighten. Check that the spring retention bungee is correctly attached.

• Nuts & Allen Bolts - check all nuts and bolts are tight, including those on the rope pulley wheels and

those securing the head rest.

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.
