Once your ropes are set up as outlined in point 6, fine tuning the rope length is easy. Simply move the
rope along the hooks. When the rope is not on any hooks it is at its longest (Fig. 22 B) and when the rope is
over the centre hook it is at its shortest (Fig. 22 A). There are 5 available rope lengths adjustment positions.

14. Periodic Maintenance
It is important to check your equipment regularly to ensure its smooth and safe operation. In a studio
environment routine inspection should be done weekly or at any time when operation is sub-optimal.
Periodic maintenance should include:
Springs - check for wear and tear or signs of deformation e.g. not returning to original length. Springs
should be replaced at least every two years or immediately if showing signs of fatigue.
Foot Bar - check that all allen bolts securing the bar to the aluminium arms and to the steel engagement
bar and through the frame are tight and that the Foot bar Twist/Pull locking pin is working properly.
Note if
the red button sticks out on its own this is a warning sign to show the locking pin is not properly engaged.
Runners - ensure the runners are clean and free from grit to enable the smooth running of the 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. Check the handle clips are working.
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 care of
upholstery we recommend using water in an atomiser with a few drops of tea tree oil, which has natural
disinfectant properties. Avoid getting any of the cleaning spray on the ropes.
Wheels - Remove the carriage and check for smooth rotation and signs of damage. If the wheels are not
turning smoothly or the wheels are damaged this will impede smooth running 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.
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 F1 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 reformer and that its use brings many benefits.
Troubleshooting Smooth Running of your F1
If you reformer is not running smoothly please follow these step in order to get it back up and running
smoothly
1) Check the reformer is level using a spirit level
2) Check the runners and wheels are clean and free from dirt and grit
3) Check the wheel Alignment of the side wheels
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
a) 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).
b) Disconnect all springs and roll the carriage to the riser end of the reformer. Now push the carriage from
the side ensuring that both the fixed side wheels are touching the side wall of the runner.
