6. Attach all springs to keep the carriage stationary. Remove
ropes, shoulder rests, and risers. Place the footbar (if installed)
in its lowest position and check that all pins are locked so that
the footbar is secure. Then, with the help of a friend, lift the
Allegro from both ends and carefully turn it upside down and
set it on the floor. You may want to place a pad or other floor
protection beneath the Reformer.
7. Remove the 4 rubber feet from the bottom of the Reformer
frame by grasping them firmly with your hand and turning
counter-clockwise. You can discard the feet unless you may
want to convert back to a flat Allegro configuration.
8. Before proceeding ensure the
tops of the new pads from
step 2 are completely dry
and no more alcohol liquid
remains on the part. If the
pads are not dry, the pad and
tape will not bond. Peel one
side of tape off the sticker
and install it on a pad. Align
the 45 degree corner side of
the tape with the stepped corner of the foot pad. The center
hole will go over the raised center circle. See Figure B.
9. Peel off the top side of the
applied tape and install this
pad assembly on the bottom
of a cleaned leg. See Figure
C.
10. Use one of each: #10 screw,
#10 washer, #10 nut and the
provided Allen wrench, plus
a socket or wrench; Align the
stepped corner of the pad with the opening of the leg. The
raised center will go inside the center hole in the leg. Again
refer to Figure C. Tighten the screw until the end just barely
sticks out the top of the nut. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
11. Repeat steps 8-10 for all other legs.
12. Insert the leg nut plates shown in Figure D into the Reformer
frame until the big hole lines up with the riser hole in the
frame. When it does, drop your riser through the frame and
the block to hold it in place. See Figure D and E.
13. Now maneuver the leg nut plate so that the holes in Figure
E line up when you look down through the hole in the frame.
This will be one of the screw holes you will use to attach the
legs.
14. With the risers still in place to locate the leg nut plates, place
two of the legs onto the frame rail at the head end of the
Reformer, lining up the holes in the leg with the three holes in
the frame. The left and right legs are not the same so keep
looking for one that matches the hole pattern in the frame.
Now start threading all six of the 5/16-18 screws into the
frame to secure the legs in place. Start with the screws that
go into the block that is held in place by the risers and once
they are all started, tighten them. See Figure F.
Now you can remove the risers and set them aside.
NOTE
: the long end of the included 3/16” allen wrench is ball
shaped to allow for more maneuverability when working in
small areas. Once the screws are finger tight, use the short
leg of the allen wrench to tighten the screws.
