Safety & Usage CONT’D
SPRINGS
The number of springs attached to the gearbar determines the
total amount of resistance. Reformers are equipped with either
one 50% and four 100%-tension springs OR one 25%, one 50%,
and three 100%-tension springs. (See page 20 for more details.)
Adjusting springs
w
Take care when attaching and detaching springs.
w
For safety, place one hand on gearbar.
w
Firmly grasp spring, (not spring ball), and stretch
it to hook to or unhook from gearbar.
w
Ensure ball rests securely in concave
HEADREST
The headrest adjusts to three positions: flat, half-raised or fully
raised. It should be adjusted on an individual basis to ensure neck
and shoulders are comfortable and tension-free when lying supine.
In exercises where the hips are lifted higher than the shoulders,
the headrest should be flat – even when beginning from a supine
position. In some exercises it is raised to provide a brace for
the feet.
Adjusting the headrest
w
With no weight on headrest, lift it and hinge adjustment block
to rest securely onto wooden edge of carriage.
SHOULDER RESTS
Shoulder rests are removable to allow storage of the reformer
and to facilitate the use of a mat converter.
Attaching the shoulder rests
w
Slide square posts into receptacles in the carriage.
Padded sides face footbar and handles are positioned
closest to edges of carriage.
w
To remove, pull directly up on handles.
PULLEYBARS
SPX MAX REFORMER ONLY: Pulleybars detach for storage
without disengaging ropes. To remove, loosen star knobs and
remove pulleybars from receptacles.
When replacing pulleybars, ensure they are firmly within the
receptacles. Ensure eyehooks on top of pulleybars are parallel
to aluminum rails. Tighten star knobs securely.
