ATTACH THE SPRINGS
The Legacy Reformer comes
with five springs. Take the
open (hooked) end of the
springs and attach them to the
eyebolts on the underside of
the carriage. The hooks on the
springs should be facing down.
Move the carriage toward the
footbar and attach the circular
end of the springs to the hooks
at the foot-end of the frame.
Each spring that is attached
will increase the resistance you
will encounter when moving
the carriage.
INSTALL CARRIAGE BUMPER
The Legacy Reformer includes a
carriage bumper that determines
the length of carriage movement
within the frame. This is easily
installed by taking the doweled
end of the bumper and placing
it through the desired hole above
the carriage on the top of the
frame’s right rail.
ATTACH THE STRAPS
Detach all springs from the carriage. Flip the carriage up so
that the underside of the carriage is facing the head-end of the
frame. If possible, have another person hold the carriage in place
on the rails while adjusting the strap (NOTE: Do not try and rest the
carriage on the rails by itself – it may fall over.)
Take one of the leather straps and feed the “holed” end up and
around the caster at the head end of the frame, through the
footman ring at the top of the carriage and, finally, through the
buckle on the underside of the carriage.
(
NOTE:
The person holding the carriage may need to lean
the carriage closer to the head end of the frame for easier
adjustment.)
Use the holes on the strap to adjust to the desired length and
then buckle. Pull the excess strap end through the metal ring
below the buckle. Repeat with the other strap. Place the carriage
back into the frame.
Take the loop at the other end of the strap and put it around
the headrest or the post behind the shoulder rest. Repeat the
procedure on the other side with the other strap.
ADJUSTING AND REMOVING SHOULDER RESTS
Your Legacy Reformer comes
with adjustable/removable
shoulder rests. The wider
shoulder rest position is
1” wider than the narrower
position.
If your equipment was ordered
without twin mats, your
shoulders will be locked in
place with a bolt-and-knob
system.
WHEN TO USE THE REMOVABLE LOCKING PIN OPTION
Use the locking pin option
when you want the ability to
remove the shoulder rests
for installation of the mat
conversion, or when you want
the option of adjusting wider/
narrower shoulder rests for
different clients.
To install the locking pins,
remove the bolts, washers and
knobs from the shoulders.
First, unscrew the black knob directly underneath each shoulder
rest. Then, carefully gather the washer and knob as they come off
the bolt. Pull the bolt up out of the hole. Set the parts aside.
Insert the locking pins into the holes from which you removed
the black bolts. The plastic tethers provided with each locking pin
can be affixed to any of the screw heads on top of the carriage
that hold the chromed rope guides. With a Phillips screwdriver,
unscrew the inside metal rope guide screw. Thread the eyelet on
the end of the pin tether through the screw. Replace the screw
and tighten with the screwdriver. Insert the pin into the bolt hole.
Set the hardware aside, but save it in case you want to use it in
the future.
