Exercise Preparation
The Glide Board
You can easily set the intensity of your workout on the Pilates Gym Machine by adjusting the height of the
Glide board. There are several levels ranging from the beginners (flat) through to more intense inclines.
There are also eleven different Glide board positions that will allow you to set the resistance to match your
fitness level.
To raise the Glide board from the flat position to either of the two low incline positions.
1.
Place one hand under the rear of the Glide Board(under the headrest base)
2.
Slowly lift until the Extension Bar Assembly slides into the next notch on the bottom of the frame.
3.
To increase the height,lift higher until the Extension Bar Assembly slides into the next notch.
4.
Ensure that the Extension Bar Assembly is securely in place in the notches on either side of the
frame before you start to exercise.
To increase the height of the Glide board even further for advanced users:
1.
Ensure the Extension Bar Assembly is in the highest incline position.
2.
Find the Height Adjustment knob on the adjustable bar underneath the Glide board.
3.
Unscrew the Height Adjustment Knob and pull outward.
4.
Holding the Knob in the outward position,raise the Glide Board until it reaches the required height
and release the Height Adjustment Knob into the nearest hole on the adjustable bar, After ensure
that the knob is securely in the hole,tighten the Height Adjustment Knob.
REMEMBER: With each of the Height Adjustment knob setting you have the option of moving the
Extension Bar Assembly to one of the lower settings to decrease the resistance slightly.
To lower the Glide Board from the higher incline position:
1.
Grip the glide board firmly,unscrew the Height Adjustment Knob and pull out.
2.
Lower the Glide Board until the Height Adjustment Knob is back level with the lowest hole on the
adjustable bar.
3.
Release the Height Adjustment Knob and make sure it is firmly in place in the hole on the
adjustable bar. Screw Knob tightly back into place.
To Lower the Glide Board back into the flat position:
1.
Lift the Glide Board until the Extension Bar Assembly is released.
2.
Grasp the Extension Bar Assembly and place in the first notch, carefully lowering the Glide Board
until it is in the flat position. Ensure that the Extension Bar Assembly is firmly in the notches on
either side of the frame before re-commencing exercise.
WARNING: NEVER ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE GLIDE BOARD WHILE ANYBODY IS SITTING OR LYING ON
IT. ALL ADJUSTMENTS MUST BE MADE WHILE KNEELING OR STANDING ON THE FLOOR NEXT TO THE
EQUIPMENT.
Tension Cords
There are 16 different combinations of Tension Cord adjustments to enable the user to tailor the resistance
to their individual fitness level. When combined with the 11 different Glide board adjustment levels, you can
set approximately 175 different fitness combinations from easy setting to the more advanced resistance
levels.
The Tensions Cords are numbered and progressively increase resistance. Cords 1 and Cords 2 are lower
resistance levels and are found at each end of the row of tensions cords. Cords 3 and Cords 4 are found in
the middle of the row and are heavier resistance cords.
Adjusting the Tension Cords
CAUTION:When adjusting Tension Cords do not release the handle until the cord is secured in place.
Firmly grasp the handle of the required tension cord and pull it away from the Glide board lifting it slightly
to clear the Base frame Assembly. Lower the cord until the ridge on the handle sits behind the matching
notch on the Base Frame Assembly. Check that it is securely lodged before releasing the handle. To release
the Tension cord back to it’s home position,firmly hold the handle and lifting it slightly to clear the Base
Frame Assembly, slowly place it back into the corresponding hole in the Glide board. Ensure that it is
securely lodged before releasing the handle.
