Remove all strapping using a safety knife and remove the carton lid. The reformer will be wrapped in a
plastic wrapper and protected by polystyrene blocks, carefully cut the plastic wrapper open and inside
the carton you will find 3 boxes containing the platform extender and the shoulder rests with ropes and
tools and bolts. Put these two boxes to one side. Then carefully cut the cable ties which hold the chrome
plated foot bar selector rod in place and temporarily remove. This will be put back later as per “Attaching
the Foot Bar” on page 4. You are now ready to start assembling your reformer.
We recommend getting a pair of stable trestles to put the reformer on to enable easy fitting of the legs
and installation of the ropes. Place the trestles 180cm apart and make sure the top of the trestles have
something soft on them to avoid scratching the reformer frame. Lift the reformer out of the box and place
it gently onto the trestles, so one of the trestles is underneath the point where the foot bar attaches to the
aluminium runner. Having checked the reformer is stable and safe you are now ready to start the
assembly.
Attaching the Legs
First install the legs at the fixed standing platform end of the reformer. We suggest you use the legs with the
wheels attached in this position and attach them with the wheels facing away from the reformer (as shown
in the Reformer Map). The wheeled legs can be attached on either end though particularly when a half
Cadillac is attached the wheels are best attached to the standing platform end. Whilst the frame is
supported place the legs in position. For the Standard and Rehab legs* the Long Bolts go through the
frame as in Fig. 1. Please attach these first and lightly tighten (Fig. 2). Each leg corner then requires 4 x
Short Bolts (Fig.3). First screw in all 4 bolts hand tight, taking special care not to cross thread the bolts, then
when all the bolts are in tighten fully with the Allen key provided (Fig. 4). Once you have put the first pair of
legs on repeat the process at the other end. The short legs attach in exactly the same way as the stand-
ard and rehab legs, except there are no long bolts as each leg is separate, rather than 2 legs being con-
nected as with the standard and rehab legs.

Inserting the Carriage
Before inserting the carriage we recommend you wipe the runners to
be sure they are completely clean. Having removed the carriage from
its box, adjust the rope T bar so the maximum amount of chrome bar
is sticking out. Now carefully slide the carriage in to the runners with the
springs end going in first. This is easier to do with one person on each
side of the carriage. Be particularly careful not to damage the wheels
when they enter the runner. Once you have installed the carriage you
can screw in the carriage stoppers (one in each runner) be sure to screw
these all the way in or they could be damaged when the carriage hits
them. The stoppers only need be hand tightened and allow for quick
removal of the carriage for servicing.
