not come out of the holes. If the pins do not stay in the tube
holes, the pull knobs need to be replaced; call Balanced Body for
replacement parts
OPTION: INSTALLING THE TWIN MATS
1. Pull pins and lower risers.
2. Detach all springs from springbar and move the carriage
toward the head end of the frame.
3. Rotate the footbar support up to the padded section of the
footbar and then lay the footbar down onto the frame rails. It
should now be inside the frame and lower than the top of the
frame.
4. Remove shoulder rests from the carriage. If the shoulder rests
are not detachable, the carriage will need to be turned upside
down
(See Appendix I).
5. Vinyl flaps are installed inside the mat for shipping purposes.
Detach, rotate and reinstall flaps so that they hang down from
the edge of the mat aligned with the eyebolts.
6. Place the mat with the vinyl flaps at the head-end of the
Reformer with flaps facing the Tower. The vinyl flaps should
hang over the head-end of the frame. They are designed
to protect the Reformer frame when using the PTB with a
bottom spring.
7. Place the remaining mat on the foot-end of the Reformer.
Make sure the end of the mat with the feet further from the
edge is installed over the standing platform.
APPENDIX I: TURNING THE CARRIAGE UPSIDE DOWN
Note: Use only if the shoulder rests are not detachable. To protect
the upholstery, make sure the Reformer rails are clean before
beginning.
1. Detach the springs from the springbar.
2. Carriage should be positioned at the riser end of the frame.
3. Rest the loops and ropes on the floor under the Reformer.
4. Lifting the head end of the carriage, turn it upside down so
the upholstery is resting on the metal rails.

If you have a Reformer with casters instead of risers, you will not
receive metal risers with your Tower Bracket Kit. Use these steps
instead of regular step #1-21.
1. Remove the top two bolts from each caster and set them
aside.
2. Insert one flathead Allen bolt
into the existing top outer
hole and secure on the inside
of the reformer frame with a
washer and a nut (See Figure
Q). Make sure the head of the
bolt is flush with the surface
of the frame. Repeat on the other side.
3. Mount the Tower bracket to
the outside of the frame.
Align the two inner holes
from the caster bolts (with
no flatheads) with two of
the holes along the top of
the bracket. Make sure the
bracket is centered (See Figure R).
4. Insert an eyebolt with a No. 10 finish washer and a 1/4” washer
through the centermost holes from the outside of the frame.
5. Use the mounted Tower
bracket as a guide to drill the
remaining six holes on the
head end of the frame (See
Figure S). Use the acorn nuts
to secure the fasteners from
the inside of the frame with a 7/16” wrench.
6. Continue mounting the bracket as in steps 22-36.
Figure Q: Insert flathead allen bolts
here.

inner caster holes.
