• We place the shoulder pads on the headboard of the carriage, choosing the desired shoulder spacing, and we adjust the shoulder pad supports and adjust as much as possible the pikes of the shoulder pad supports.
• We insert the anchor pieces in each piece of metal supporting the towers and place them on their corresponding side in the reformer, tightening them with the screws until the structure is firm.
• We verify that all the pieces are in the correct position as you can see in the photo, and the screws are well fastened. We fit the mini tower that includes the pulleys to the reformer structure, fixing them with the anchor pieces. We also adjust the height of the pulley bar to the height we want.
• We use the retractable rope system to easily adjust the desired length of the rope, as it retracts automatically. We simply pull it and leave it at the length we want.
• We pass the ends of the ropes through the pulleys and adjust the length by using these tscrews that allow us to regulate it. Here we can place the handles of our choice..

Maintenance

How to clean
After each use, the upholstery should becleaned with water and a microfiber cloth.For stains that could not been cleaned with water, use a small measure of liquid or powder detergent diluted in water. Be sure to dry thoroughly. Wheels, guides, spring control rods and bearings should be cleaned and lubricated periodically in order to ensure their proper functioning. Lubrication Use a silicone spray for lubrication. Be careful with over- lubrication. Never use wet lubricants or oil.

Spring replacement

Replace the springs every two years to ensure their correct tension and safety. Certain environments and applications can shorten the life of your springs and you may need to change them more frequently. Therefore, inspect them regularly at rest for gaps and kinks between the coils. If you notice any damage, discontinue use and replace them immediately. Breakage of a spring during use can cause damage and injury.
Tip: During use, make sure that the springs do not recoil in an uncontrolled way, this will damage the springs.
