4. Move the sliders on the tubes to the same hole on each tube.
There are three positions. Make sure they are both in the same
position by pulling the knobs outward and moving the slider.
Otherwise, the PTB (Push Through Bar) will not be able to
connect to the sliders. Install the PTB onto the sliders using
the shoulder bolts. See Figure D for details. Use the wrench to
tighten the shoulder bolt to the slider housing. See Figure E.
Figure D
CAUTION: Fully tighten the shoulder bolts. If not, serious injury
can occur.
5. Now tighten all set screws on the bracket receivers and corner
elbows. If Push Through Bar sliders do not move easily, the
vertical tube set screws must be loosened and the vertical
tubes rotated into alignment. Then re-tighten set screws.
HOW TO ADJUST YOUR SLIDING PUSH THROUGH BAR
Position your hands on the outside of each slider. Place your
middle and/or ring fingers under the silver base of the knob; right
where the black body of the knob threads into. Place your index
finger and thumb around the knob itself. Pull each of the knobs
outwards, away from the vertical tubes, until they stop. Using the
same force on each arm, move the slider upwards or downwards
to each new location. Once you near a new location slightly
release the outward pull of the knobs. The pins will automatically
fall into the next position when aligned.
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.
Shoulder bolt touches
slider housing, no gap.

4. Remove shoulder rests from the carriage. If the shoulder rests
are not detachable, the carriage will need to be turned upside
down. (See the Appendix.)
Vinyl flaps are installed inside the mat for shipping purposes.
Detach, rotate, and reinstall flaps so they hang down from the
edge of the mat aligned with eye bolts.
5. Place the mat with vinyl flaps at the head-end of the Reformer
with flaps facing the tower. The Vinyl flaps should hang over
the head-end of frame. They are designed to protect the
Reformer frame when using the Push Through Bar with a
bottom spring.
6. 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 - TURNING THE CARRIAGE UPSIDE DOWN
(USE ONLY IF THE SHOULDER RESTS ARE NOT
DETACHABLE).
Note: To protect upholstery, make sure Reformer rails are clean
before beginning.
1. Detach the springs from springbar.
2. Carriage should be positioned at the riser end of the frame.
3. Rest 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.
