13. Working with springs
Spring strengths: green is strong, red is medium and blue is light - use in a combination to suit the desired exercise.
The coloured anodized nuts on the RC spring bar indicate the spring strength. When doing asymmetric exercises
where the carriage is pushed from one side, rather than centrally, always attach the springs to the same side of the
spring bar as the side you are pushing from, or equally from the centre of the spring bar. This ensures the carriage
runs smoothly as twisting forces are minimized.
To change the springs positions, go under the reformer, unclip the shock cord and unthread it from the spring eye-
lets, then uncoil the spring eyelet from the pig tail bolt and release the velcro on the spring covers so the spring can
be removed. Switch the cover to the new spring and reverse this process. See the warranty for spring life
expectancy. Always replace springs immediately if there is any sign of deformation or damage and cease using
immediately.

14. Adjusting & Locking the Foot Bar
The C2 Pro RC has a lockable foot bar that uses a locking pin, which is located on
the side of the reformer (see Fig. 22). There is also a place to store the pin when not
in use See Fig. 23 Note: The pin does not completely prevent movement in a
backward direction but it stops a user from falling back when pulling on the foot bar
in a direction away from the standing platform. To raise the foot bar, first ensure it is
unlocked then pull the padded bar towards you stopping at the desired height. To
lower the foot bar it helps if your hold the foot bar selector bar as well as the pad-
ded bar to lower it to the desired height. In either case once the desired position is
achieved you can lock the bar in place with the locking pin. Note the bar does not
lock when it is all the way down. Fig 22 shows the bar locked and Fig 23 shows the
locking pin in the storage position, which keeps the pin out of the way when not
being used to lock the foot bar.

11. How to adjust the foot strap:
To tighten - simply pull on the end of the strap.
To loosen - first loosen the strap at the D-ring and then the strap can be pulled out to be lengthened.
The foot strap is best with it passing between the legs (above the cross support and below the jump board).
10. Foot Strap installation:
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. 21)
2) Now pass the foot strap through the loop and pull tight (Fig. 22)
3) Repeat this process for the other half of the strap (Fig. 20) and finally re-thread the strap through the D-ring (Fig. 23)
and the strap is ready to use (Fig.24).

Please note there is no longer a
removable carriage stopper at as
this is integrated with the Spring bar (Fig.21)
Important - The RC spring bar must
always be moved with at least one
spring attached
.
12. Adjusting the rapid change (RC) spring bar
The new patent pending Rapid Change (RC) spring bar, dramatically changes
the speed and ease of moving your spring bar! Simply lift it up move to the
desired new location. Adjusting the RC spring bar is up to 12 times faster than
moving the traditional spring bar, which required removal of springs, moving the
stopper, moving the spring bar & reattaching the springs – enjoy!
