OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
CUSTOMIZING ROPE LENGTH
Ideal rope length will vary depending on your height and limb length. To determine your ideal rope length,
begin by placing the hand/foot straps over the shoulder rests as shown below. Adjust the ropes so they are
taut. For complete rope length adjustment instructions, see additional Rope Length Adjustment instructions
in this Owner's Manual.
Next, lie on the reformer with your hands in the straps with shoulders against the shoulder rests. Reach
your hands toward the ceiling until they are directly over the back edge of the reformer carriage as shown
in the photo below. In this position, the reformer carriage should be at rest with no tension on the ropes. If
there is still tension on the ropes in this position, lengthen the ropes. If you lose tension before reaching
the arm position shown below, shorten the ropes.
