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.
IN CASE OF FREIGHT DAMAGE
If there is freight damage, make certain you keep all packaging
material. Please call Balanced Body within 3 days.
