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.
