Next, thread the end of the rope through the silent pulley from above and then slide the end through the T-Bar rope
adjuster, under the carriage, you will need to pull down the locking handle to allow the rope end [to pass through
(Fig.23).
3. Setting up the rope length
a. First, put the spring bar as close to the foot bar as possible (attach at least one spring before moving).
b. Now put the T-Bar in the position where the most of the chrome bar is revealed (this is the position where the
ropes are longest) and put the larger foot handle over the shoulder rest as shown. (Fig.24).
c. Next, pull the ropes through from underneath until they are both tight. When done tie a knot about six inches
from the end of the rope (Fig.25) - the rope ends can be tidied away by wrapping them around the T bar.
4. Adjusting the side wheels
After attaching at least one spring, roll the carriage back and forward checking that the carriage runs freely for the
whole length of the runner. There should be no squeaking or interference from the side wheels, if there is the side
wheels need to be moved inwards. Conversely there should not be excessive
side to side movement of the carriage in the runners or the wheels need to
be moved out.
To move the side wheels in (ie because they are causing the carriage to jam
or, causing squeaking noises) unscrew bolt B a few turns (Fig. 26) then loosen
the two A bolts and push the wheel bracket in until it hits the stop screw B, then
retighten bolts A - now try the carriage again. If there is too much side to side
movement of the carriage, then the side wheels need to be moved out. To
do this loosen bolts A, then tighten bolt B by a few turns, which will push the
wheel out, then retighten bolts A and try the carriage again. We recommend
small adjustments each time and after a few tries you should get the carriage
to run perfectly, with no interference from the side wheels & little side to side
movement possible.
5. Attaching and adjusting the foot strap
a. The foot strap attaches the same way the ropes attach to the handles. First separate the foot strap in to 2 parts
b. Take each part of the foot strap and thread the loop through the eyelet beneath the spring bar, then thread the
strap through the loop (Fig.27/28/29).
c. When both sides are attached thread the end of the strap though the D rings (Fig.30).
d. The strap can be shortened by pulling on the end of the strap, to loosen release the pressure by opening the D
rings and then lengthening the strap.
