Installing The Carriage, Gear Bar And Springs - Peak Pilates AFINA Owner's Manual And Assembly Manual

INSTALLING THE CARRIAGE, GEAR BAR AND SPRINGS

The Reformer Frame
The Afina™ Reformer frame comes preassembled, is hand-crafted in either oak
or bamboo, and finished with lacquer for a long-lasting shine as well as protection
against sweat and water damage. Two or more people should assist with moving and
placing the reformer frame in the desired location for use.
Installing Springs
The reformer comes with either four reformer springs that are all the same
medium-level tension, or five reformer springs that have varying levels of tension.
The five springs of varying levels of tension feature different colors near the eyebolt
that denotes the tension rating of each spring.
Blue – Light tension
Yellow – Medium tension
Red – Heavy tension
The eyehooks for attaching the springs come pre-installed on both the carriage and
gear bar. To install the springs, please follow the steps below:
Fig. 1
Installing the Carriage
We recommend that the springs be attached to the carriage prior to installing the
carriage in the frame.
Please follow the steps for placing the carriage into the frame below. These steps
should also be completed by two or more people.
1. Flip the carriage over and locate the
eyehooks.
2. Unpack the springs, being careful not to
scratch the coils during the unpacking.
3. Hook the non-color coded ends of each
spring to the eyebolts located on the
carriage, making sure that they rest
against the spring support bar.
Note: The springs should rest between
the small grooves found on the bottom
on the spring support bar (Fig. 1).
