as shown in Figure 6. Connect at least (1) spring to an eye bolt on
the springbar.

CARRIAGE BLOCKS
The Carriage Block at the head end of the Reformer is installed
on the frame to limit the distance the carriage can travel, see
Figure 7. There are two lengths: the Medium Carriage Block
comes with the 86" and Long Carriage Block comes with the
89" Reformer. Not intended, but can be used on 80" Reformers,
must purchase separately.
Figure 7
Attach one spring to one
slot in the bracket on the
underside of the carriage
as shown in Figure 5. The
open end of the spring hook
should be facing down.
Repeat for other springs.
The Gear Block, used by all Reformer lengths, at the foot end is
installed on the left side rail of the gear positions as shown in
Figure 8. The Gear Block has two settings, short and long. Figure
8 shows the short position, when spring bar is in the middle or
"B" position. Flip the Gear Block over to get the long position, for
use when the springbar is in the last or "C" position.

HOW TO INSTALL EXTENSION STRAP
Remove the handles from both straps. Fold the extension strap
in half and insert the clip into and through the D-ring, see Figure

Figure 11. Repeat this process for other strap.

The Carriage Blocks are
most commonly used for
clients who have a limited
range of motion, or to stop
the carriage from traveling
too far. The Gear Block is
used to change the carriage
starting position.
Two footstraps are included
with the Reformer. Clip one
end of the strap to one eye
bolt on the inside foot end
of the frame, the other clip
to the other eye bolt on the
opposite side of frame end.
Repeat for second footstrap,
see Figure 9.
