Headrest
The headrest adjusts to three positions: flat, half-raised or
fully raised. It should be adjusted on an individual basis to ensure
neck and shoulders are comfortable and tension-free when
lying supine.
In exercises where the hips are lifted higher than the shoulders,
headrest should be flat – even when beginning from a supine
position. In some exercises it is raised to provide a brace for
the feet.
Adjusting the Headrest
w
With no weight on headrest, lift it and hinge adjustment
block to rest securely onto wooden edge of carriage.
Moving Reformers
The front end of all Reformers have a set of easy-roll wheels
that make moving or repositioning simple for anyone of
moderate strength.
w
Ensure springs are attached so carriage is secure, and
ropes do not drag.
w
Stand at the back of Reformer, grasp the horizontal
metal bar, and gently lift. Lift Reformer high enough
to engage easy-roll wheels.
w
Keep Reformer at waist-height or lower. Do not lift higher
as this may result in damage to floor surface.
Footbar
The footbar can be set at four different heights to facilitate
various Reformer exercises and to accommodate physical
differences and abilities. The cradle closest to the gearbar
is position #1 the cradle farthest away is position #4.
Adjusting the Footbar
w
The footbar can be adjusted while standing beside the
Reformer or sitting on the carriage.
w
Gently pull footbar up and lift chrome adjuster bar out
of footbar adjustment cradle.
w
Lift or lower footbar to the desired height and place chrome
adjuster bar securely into nearest footbar adjustment cradle.
NOTE:
It is highly recommended that the Reformer be placed on
some type of non-skid material to prevent slipping and/or damage
to flooring or carpet.
