Tools and Components Diagram

Assembly Instructions

• Take out the side panels and lay on a soft surface to not scratch the wood. Attach the side panels to the barrel top using x 3 M8 45mm bolts washers and nut, ensure a washer is used on each side – the nut goes on the inside of the barrel (Fig. 1 & Fig. 2). Do not fully tighten the nuts as this will prevent you being able to insert the barrel connecting poles later in the assembly.
• Insert the x2 short barrel connecting poles into the holes of the side panels. Use x 4 M8 30mm bolts and washers and screw these in until hand tight (x 2 on each side) (Fig. 3). You can now tighten the x6 medium bolt, washer and nut attaching the side panels to the barrel top.
• Next slide the barrel top and sides over the frame. Lift the barrel slightly to line up the holes on the side panel with the sliders attached to the frame (Fig. 4). Thread through 4 x M8 90mm bolts on one side panel, from the outside (using a washer on both sides) and attach nut so it is hand tight. Repeat on the second side panel. Once all nuts are attached fully tighten all bolts.
• Now insert the x3 short rungs into the uprights and using x 6 M8 15mm bolts with flat washers and tighten (Fig. 5). As before start by inserting all the poles and loosely tightening and then once all the poles are in place tighten them all in turn.
• To complete the ladder, slide the long pole through the top holes and use x 2 M8 45mm bolts with Loctite and curved washers to screw these into the long pole as shown in Fig. 6.
• The ladder frame can now be attached to the base frame using x 5 M8 15mm bolts & washers on each side. Be sure to align the frame and upright holes. First insert all bolts hand tight and once all in tighten them all with the Allen key provided to secure (Fig. 7).
• You can insert the removable flat and upright standing platforms as per Fig. 8. Whether fully open or closed you can use these platforms as you wish. Taller students may find it is easier without.
• Finally, ensure the Ladder Barrel is sitting flat on the floor. This is essential to ensure the barrel adjusts easily. Use a spirit level and fine-tune with the adjustable feet until flat in both planes. The equipment is only suitable for indoor use on a level floor.

Congratulations! You have now completed the assembly of your Align- Pilates Ladder Barrel. Before first use please read the below information on proper use and safety.

IMPORTANT NOTES & SAFETY ADVICE – READ PRIOR TO USING YOUR LADDER BARREL

• If you are not personally qualified to use the Ladder Barrel seek training from a qualified Pilates Professional before use.
• To move the position of the barrel, lift up both quick-release Rapid Change levers and then slide the barrel forward or backward, ideally pulling or pushing from a central position on the barrel. Once you have selected your position fully close the quick-release Rapid Change levers and make sure the barrel is secure. If the barrel is not secure when the lever is closed then open quick-release Rapid Change levers and rotate one or two turns to tighten the internal bolt and then close them again. Always check that the quick-release Rapid Change levers are in the down position and that the barrel is secure before use or an accident could happen.
• To maintain the safe operation of the equipment, it is essential to regularly check all bolts are tight & the equipment is functioning correctly. For the first few times check the ladder barrel after each use to ensure all bolts are tight. Then check all nuts and bolts are tight as part of your weekly maintenance schedule. We recommend keeping a record of your maintenance schedule – sample sheets are available from Align-Pilates.com
