CARRIAGE EXTENSION STOPPER 

The carriage extension stopper 
drops into the metal frame 
rail to decrease the distance 
the carriage can travel from 
its resting point at the foot 
end. It is most commonly used 
for clients who have a limited 
range of motion or to stop the 
carriage from traveling too far 
for whatever reason may be 
necessary. See Figure J.

OPTIONS

Adjustable Metal Risers

Just slide the metal risers into the receivers at the head-end of 
the Reformer frame and lock with the tethered pin. This Studio 
Reformer configuration comes with pulleys pre-installed. 

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.

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.
