frame until the be drill bit hits the inside face of the mounting
bracket on the outside face.
19. Repeat the process on the other receiver.
20. Insert the metal risers into the receivers and secure them at
the desired height with the riser pin.
INSTALL CORNER BRACKETS
Locate the four L-shaped brackets that go on the top and bottom
of each inner corner at the head-end of the Reformer frame.
These corner brackets provide additional support for the Tower
bracket.
21. Use the provided 21/64” drill bit (larger drill bit). Slowly drill (4)
four holes through the frame from the outside using the
bracket to guide the holes (See Figure K).
22. From the outside of the head-
end of the frame, insert a
2-1/4” button head screw and
a 1/4” washer into the holes
drilled (See Figure K).
23. Place corner brackets with
the short flange on the inside
head-end of the frame and
the longer flange flush on
the inner, long side of the
Reformer (See Figure L).
24. Secure the corner bracket with 1/4” washer and a small nylock
nut. Make sure bracket fits tightly against the side rail and is
level.
25. Using the 21/64” drill bit, from the inside of the frame drill
through the hole in the long side of the corner bracket and
drill into the frame. Drill slowly with light pressure.
Note
: Be particularly careful drilling-- it is easy to splinter the
outside of the frame. Hold the drill steady and level - it is a
good idea to use two hands during this step.
26. From the outer side of frame,
insert carriage bolt into drilled
hole (See Figure M).
27. Secure on inner side with
5/16” large nylock nut.
28. Repeat steps 26-28 on the other corner brackets.
INSERT VERTICAL TOWER TUBES
29. Loosen setscrews on circular tube receivers on the Tower
bracket using the 3/16” Allen wrench (See Figure N).
30. Remove the vertical tower
system and place them into
the receiver bracket on the
end of the Reformer. The
knobs of the sliders will be
facing outwards as shown in
Figure O. Make sure when you place the tubes into the
receiver that the loop is facing forward, towards the carriage,
see Figure P.
HOW TO ADJUST YOUR SLIDING PUSH THROUGH BAR
Position your hands on the outside of each slider. Place your
middle and/or ring fingers under the silver base of the knob; right
where the black body of the knob threads into. Place your index
finger and thumb around the knob itself. Pull each of the knobs
outwards, away from the vertical tubes, until they stop. Using the
same force on each arm, move the slider upwards or downwards
to each new location. Once you near a new location slightly
release the outward pull of the knobs. The pins will automatically
fall into the next position when aligned.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Inspect springs for separations, and replace if needed. Inspect
snaps on springs and make sure the retractors operate smoothly.
Replace them if worn or do not operate freely. Make sure that
there are no indentations on the inside of the hooks.
Inspect all nuts, eyebolts and setscrews for tightness. Tighten or
replace if necessary.
It is recommended to check to ensure the pins in the plunger
knobs protrude and lock into the vertical tubes. First pull both
knobs out and start moving the sliders to a different position.
Release the knobs before the next hole and continue to slide the
system. Once over a hole the pin of the knob will drop into the
opening. Once each slider is in a new position apply a down force
on the PTB directly downwards. The pins of the sliders should
