ASSEMBLY TIME
Approximately 90 minutes.
PREPARE YOUR WORKSPACE
Make sure you have enough physical space around the Reformer
to work, especially at the head-end of the machine where the
bracket kit will be attached. Remove the ropes from the risers
and the carriage. Attach carriage springs to the springbar to
secure the carriage at the foot-end of the Reformer. It is
recommended that you place a drop cloth or sheet under the
head-end of the Reformer, as there will be sawdust from drilling
holes in the frame.
REMOVE WOODEN RISER BLOCKS
1. Use the 5/32” Allen key to
remove bolts that attach
wooden risers from head-end
of Reformer (See Figure A).
2. Remove the risers and re-insert the bolts from the outside of
the frame so they are about half-way tightened.
3. Tap the heads of the bolts with a hammer until the propeller
nuts come out of the Reformer frame.
4. Unscrew the bolts from the propeller nuts and remove them
from the frame.
5. Put the risers, propeller nuts and bolts aside. They are no
longer needed.
INSTALL THE TOWER BRACKET ON THE REFORMER
6. Place Tower bracket on
outside of the Reformer
frame. Bracket flanges
should match up with holes
previously used to secure
the riser blocks to the frame
(See Figure B).
7. Make sure the bracket is centered.
8. Insert an eyebolt through a
No. 10 finish washer and a
1/4” washer into the indicated
bracket top and bottom holes
(See Figures C & D).
9. Align the riser on the inside
of the frame so that the two
flanges are on the top and
the single flange is on the
bottom. The flanges closer
to the outside of the frame
should line up with the
existing holes used for the wood risers (See Figures E & F).
10. Use a socket wrench to secure
both the top and bottom
eyebolt ends with a 1/4” flat
washer and a small, 1/4”-20
nylock nut (See Figure E).
11. Repeat steps 8-10 for the
other side of the bracket.
12. The Tower bracket should now be secured on the head-
end of the Reformer. This attached bracket will serve as a
template for drilling the remaining holes required to complete
assembly.
13. Use the provided 1/4” drill
bit (smaller drill bit) to drill a
hole from the inside of the
frame through the top inside
flange of the receiver bracket
and through the frame (See
Figure G).
14. From the outside of the
frame, insert the 2-1/4”
button head screw with a 1/4”
washer (See Figure H).
15. Slip the black plastic lanyard
loop over the protruding bolt
on the top inside flange and
then secure a small nylock
nut with a 7/16” socket as
shown in Figure I. The riser
pin is used to secure the new
risers into the receivers.
The loop is secured on a bolt.
16. Repeat steps 13-15 on the other riser.
17. Position the 21/64” drill bit
through the hole in the front
of the riser, through the
receiver itself, until you make
contact with the wood of the
frame. (See Figure J).
18. Holding the drill steady and
level, drill into the Reformer
Figure A: Remove the bolts from risers.

holes left by the risers.
Figure E: Match outside flanges with
protruding bolt ends.
Figure C: Eyebolt with No. 10 finish
washer and 1/4” washer.

Figure H: Install the bolt and washer
from outside of frame.

with a small nylock nut.
Figure J: Drill through receiver and
into Reformer until drill bit hits the
mounting plate.
Figure D: Insert eyebolt through
existing holes.
Figure F: Align outer flanges on
receiver with existing holes in
Reformer frame, and secure with a flat
washer and nylock nut.
