INSTALL THE FOOTBAR 

Installation can be done by 
one person, but it is easier and 
safer to have one person to 
hold each side.

6.  Pick up the footbar with the 

seam of the footbar cover 
away from the carriage pad. 
While squeezing the footbar 
plungers levers, guide the 
footbar over the outside of 
the trunnion plates. 

7.  Align each footbar pin with the same hole in each trunnion 

plate. While still supporting the footbar, release the plunger 
levers to engage the trunnion plate. Be sure the pins on both 
sides are engaged. See Figure E for reference.

8.  Pivot the footbar slightly until the large hole at the bottom 

of the footbar aligns with the remaining hole in the trunnion 
plate. Slide the shoulder bolt with one washer through the 
large footbar hole. The black spacer goes through the bolt 
and in between the footbar and the trunnion plate. The plastic 
side of the spacer should face the footbar. Then screw the 
shoulder bolt into the trunnion plate as tightly as possible with 
the large Allen wrench (5/16”). Repeat on the other side. See 
Figure E for reference.

INSTALL THE SPRINGBAR

9.  The springbar comes with 

the appropriate hardware 
already installed. Install 
it into the gears under 
the footbar with its hooks 
facing up. See Figure F.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Clean all skin-contact parts after each use, including carriage, 
shoulder rests, head rest, and footbar. Use a solution of mild 
soap and water. Dry thoroughly. 

BB upholstery has built-in antimicrobial/antibacterial protection. 
For light soiling, use a solution of 10% household liquid dish soap 
with warm water applied with a soft damp cloth. If necessary, a 
solution of liquid cleanser and water applied with a soft bristle 
will also work. For heavier soiling, please call Balanced Body 
Technical Support. Wheel tracks and wheels should be cleaned 
regularly with a cloth to ensure that the carriage rides smoothly 
and quietly. 

Wash hand and foot straps regularly. Place in pillowcase, wash on 
gentle cycle, air dry. 

If you have any questions on cleaning, please call Balanced Body 
Technical Support. 

Lubrication and Adjustment 

Periodically lubricate pulleys with silicone spray. Be careful of 
overspray. Never use “wet” lubricants like WD40 or oil.
