Attaching the Silent Handles to the ropes:
The silent double loop straps feature separate handles for foot & hand for quick transitions. To attach the
straps to the ropes, thread the end of the strap through the rope eyelet (Fig. 11) and then thread the han-
dle through the loop on the end of the strap (Fig. 12 ) and pull tight. To take them off reverse the process.
Now pass the end of each rope through the pulleys on the end of the rope risers.
Foot Strap installation:
Now in a similar way attach the foot strap underneath the standing platform
1) Separate the strap in to 2 parts. Taking one half of the strap, thread the nylon loop through the eyelet on
the reformer frame under the jump board (Fig. 13)
2) Now pass the foot strap through the loop and pull tight (Fig. 14)
3) Repeat this process for the other half of the strap (Fig. 15) and finally re-thread the strap through the
D-ring (Fig. 16) and the strap is ready to use (Fig.17).
Setting up the Silent ropes:
With the handles now attached thread the rope tail through the pulley from the top and put the rope
eyelet (where you attached the handles) over the rope holder pole. Next pull the rope adjusting T-bar all
the way out as in (Fig 20). The T bar position is changed by loosening the knob and then pulling back to
disengage the locking pin, so that the bar can be slid back or forward. Now put the spring bar in position
1 (Fig. 21) and thread each rope tail through the holes on the end of the T bar and on through the rope
controllers - you will need to open the locking lever to allow this. Now pull the rope tight against the rope
holder pole and close the rope controller lever firmly & check to ensure the ropes cannot slip. Repeat for
the second rope and then check that the ropes are adjusted to exactly the same length, if they are not;
adjust one of the ropes, the ropes should be taught with the nylon loop of the handle on the rope holder
poles, whilst making these adjustments. When both ropes are the same length tie a simple knot in the rope
tail about 15cm from the rope controller for extra safety (Fig 22). The ropes tails can be coiled around the
T bar to get them out the way.
