IMPORTANT! 

Inspect for Freight Damage

If you see any obvious crate damage, bring it to the attention of 
the freight company driver immediately so that you can open it 
in his presence to verify any possible damage to the contents. 
This would include holes in the crate, damaged corners or any 
evidence that the crate has been mishandled. 

In case of freight damage

If there is freight damage, make certain you keep all packaging 
material. Please call Balanced Body as soon as possible.

UNCRATING

Choose a convenient place where there is room to work all around 
the crate. It is often easier to unpack the crate outside and move 
the individual parts inside one at a time. Also, it is a good idea to 
have a helper in the unpacking and moving of this equipment. It 
can be both heavy and awkward to move.

Gently pry off the crate lid. Insert a pry bar or a flat screwdriver 
under the plywood lid and gently push the tool downward to lift 
the lid up. Work your way around the crate, prying and lifting until 
the lid comes loose. It is a good idea to have your helper lift up 
on a corner of the plywood as you pry along the sides. This allows 
for easy entry of the ply tool; it also controls the lid when it comes 
free.

Remember, there are upholstered parts within, so go easy. The lid 
will have exposed nails, so use care when handling it. Set the lid 
aside with nails facing down to avoid accidentally stepping  
on them.

LIFT THE FRAME OUT OF THE CRATE

Remove the protective cardboard layer. Remove the cardboard 
box containing the upholstered sitting box. Inside the sitting 
box you’ll find the hardware and fittings needed to complete the 
setup of your new Legacy Reformer. 

Lift the frame from the crate. Remove the shipping screws or 
straps that hold the carriage to the bottom of the crate. Lift 
out the carriage and carefully set it aside. Inspect each item for 
shipping damage. Wipe down all parts of the frame, carriage 
and upholstery with a damp cloth. This is a good time to inspect 
further for freight damage. Carry the frame to its permanent 
location.

INSTALL THE CARRIAGE

Turn the carriage over and clean all the wheels of shipping dust, 
etc.  Clean the full length of the rail surfaces inside the frame. 
Carefully place the carriage into the frame with the headrest 
facing away from the footbar.
