INSTALL THE SHOULDER RESTS

1.  Note the two protruding studs on the bottom of the shoulder 

rests. Lower the shoulder rest studs into the keyholes and 
slide away from the carriage pad. See Figure A. 
 

Note:

 The shoulder rests can be installed in two positions. One 

position is wider, and more comfortable for broad shoulders. 
Swap the left and right shoulder rests to change between 
standard and wide configurations.

2.  Now screw the locking shoulder posts onto the exposed bolt 

on each shoulder rest. See Figure B.  

 

Using the Locking Shoulder Posts:

 

Turn the posts clockwise to tighten them and lock the 
shoulder rests into position. Over tightening the posts will 
make them difficult to remove, they should be snug but not 
too tight. To remove the shoulder rests, turn the post counter 
clockwise 1-2 turns and gently slide the shoulder rests toward 
the carriage.

Figure C shows the storage position for the shoulder rests. 
Note the key hole slots at the head end of the Allegro frame.  

 

INSTALL THE BLACK 

PLUNGER KNOBS

3.  Look through the large 

threaded hole in the trunnion 
and line it up with one of the 
holes in the frame.Screw the 
plunger knob into the large 
hole until it is completely 
threaded in.See Figure D. 

4.  Repeat on other side. Tighten 

both plunger knobs securely with the included open end 
wrench. 
 
To move the trunnions, pull the ball of the plunger knobs away 
from the frame and turn 90° to lock out.  To re-engage the 
plunger turn the knob until it snaps into one of the holes in 
the side of frame. 

Note: 

Make sure both trunnion 

plates are locked in the same 
horizontal position before 
moving on.

INSTALL THE FOOTBAR

5.  Pick up the footbar so the 

seam of the footbar cover is 
away from the carriage pad. 

6.  While squeezing the footbar 

plunger levers, guide the 
footbar over the outsides of 
the trunnion plates. Align 
each footbar pin with the top 
hole in the trunnion plate. 
While continuing to support the footbar, release the footbar 
plunger levers to engage the trunnion plate. Be sure the pins 
on both sides are engaged. See Figure E.
