INSTALLING SHOULDER RESTS AND POSTS
1. Note the two protruding studs on the bottom of the shoulder
rests. Lower the shoulder rest studs into the key holes and
slide shoulder rests away from the carriage pad. See Figure A.
Note: The shoulder rests can be installed in two positions. One
position is wider and more comfortable for broad shoulders.
Swap the left and right shoulder rests to change between
standard and wide configurations.
Figure A
2. Screw the locking shoulder posts onto the exposed bolt on
each shoulder rest. Turn the posts clockwise to tighten them
and lock the shoulder rests into position. See Figure B. Over
tightening the posts will make them difficult to remove. They
should be snug but not too tight. To remove the shoulder
rests, turn the post counter-clockwise 1-2 turns and gently
slide the shoulder rests toward the carriage, then lift them up
and out.

INSTALLING/REMOVING THE PUSH THROUGH BAR
(PTB) 4TH SIDE
Using the provided 7/32" allen wrench and button head screws
with pin ends, move the PTB to a 45 degree position. Line up
the 4th side opening with the threaded holes in the PTB. Thread
in one screw into the side of the PTB, the pin end of the screw
will go inside the 4th side. Repeat for the other side. Tighten
both screws with the allen wrench. Reverse these instructions to
remove the 4th side. Keep these button head screws if needed
later.
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.
ASSEMBLE THE REFORMER
Swing the footbar up and place the support into position.
Place the carriage into the frame and attach the springs to the
spring bracket on the underside of the carriage. The springs
should have the open, hooked end pointing down through each
eye bolt on the bracket and should lay across the padded bar at
the foot end of the carriage. Attach one or more of the springs to
the spring bar to secure the carriage in position.
Install the shoulder rests onto the carriage by locking them into
the keyholes on either side of the headrest. They can be set wider
or narrower by reversing their placement. Always lock them in
place by twisting them clockwise by hand.
Install the adjustable risers with the pulleys facing the carriage.
Again, always lock them in the desired position with their pins.
Unroll the ropes and separate them. Clip a cotton loop onto
the end of each rope and hang the loops on the shoulder rests.
Thread the other end of each rope through a pulley and back into
the cam cleats on the carriage to adjust the length. Be sure to go
through the chrome eyestraps on both sides of the cam cleats.
Always push the rope firmly down into the cleats to insure a good
grip.
