PEAK PILATES Classic Deluxe Wall System Installation Guide

Wall System
(Classic, Deluxe)
Assembly Guide

Recommended Use

Peak Pilates strongly recommends consulting a physician for a complete medical exam before beginning any exercise program. Having a complete medical exam is particularly important if the user has a family history of high blood pressure, has heart disease, is over the age of 45, smokes, has high cholesterol, is obese, or has not exercised regularly in the past year.
If, at any time while exercising, the user feels faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath, he or she must stop immediately.
Important: This manual contains safety and usage information. Before beginning the exercise, read the entire manual paying specific attention to all cautions and warnings and obtain qualified instruction on the use of the Peak Pilates Premier or Classic Cadillac. Use only for the intended exercise. Do not modify the machine.
Modifying the machine in any way will nullify your warranty. Keep this guide handy for future reference.
Unsafe or improper use of this equipment due to failure to read and comply with all requirements and warnings could result in serious injury. Because Peak Pilates cannot anticipate every situation and condition that can occur while using the Peak Pilates Cadillacs, we make no representation concerning the safety of this equipment.
There are risks associated with the use of any exercise equipment. The user assumes responsibility for those risks.

Warranties outside the U.S. may vary.

Assembling the Springs and Safety Chains

Attach the springs after completing the installation of the Wall System structural components.
Leg Springs
The leg springs are the longest springs. Attach a double-ended clip to each end of each spring and then attach the springs to the eyebolts in the upright poles. The leg springs can be adjusted between eyebolts depending on the desired height and tension.
Arm Springs
The warm springs are the smallest in diameter. Attach a double-ended clip to each end of each spring and then attach one end of each spring to an eyebolt on the roll-down bar (the round wooden bar with eyebolts at each end). The opposite end of each spring is then attached to an eyebolt on the upright poles.
Push-through Springs
Push-through springs are similar to Reformer springs in length and diameter but are distinguished by having closed loops at both ends. Attach a safety link to the end of each push-through spring that will be hooked to an eyebolt on the pole system. Use a quick snap clip with a thumbscrew on the end of each spring that will attach to the push-through bar. The safety link of one spring will attach to the second eyebolt from the top. The opposite end of this spring (with the quick snap clip with thumbscrew) hooks to the eyebolt on the arm of the push-though bar. The safety link of the second push-through bar spring attaches to an eyebolt on the floor plate of the Wall System and the quick snap clip end attaches to the corresponding eyebolt located on the arm of the push-through bar. Be sure to slip the tube-shaped spring cover sleeve completely over the bottom push-through spring before using.
The sleeve will protect your mat from abrasion when in contact with the spring.
WARNING: Always use the safety chains with safety links when using the push-through bar spring from the bottom.
Assembling the Safety Chains

The push-through pole system has two safety chains. You must use the safety chains when the push-through springs are attached to the push-through bar from the bottom. If you do not take this precaution, the user can be seriously injured should the push-through bar slip out of the user’s grasp.

Installing the Wall Unit

1. If mounting the Wall System in a facility with pre-existing construction, Peak Pilates highly recommends first installing a backer board. The material for the backer board should be 2” x 6” and it needs to be long enough to span at least three wall studs. If the Wall System is being installed at a facility with new construction, the backer board can be installed inside of the wall. The photos shown were taken in a facility with new construction.
2. Mount the wall mounting plate to the backer board with the included lag bolts. The center of the plate needs to be 81 1/8” from the floor. A level should be used to make sure that the plate is parallel to the floor Once the lag bolts are tightened, cover the heads with the black, plastic plugs provided.
3. Drop a plumb line down from one end of the wall mounting plate. Place the framing square so that one leg is along and one leg is perpendicular to the wall. The leg that is perpendicular to the wall should be placed against the plumb line (see next photo).
4. Using the square as a guide, draw a 3 “ long line on the floor starting from 16 3/8” (extending to 19 3/8”). Repeat on the other side of the wall mounting plate. The floor mounting plate is located between these two lines. If the Wall System is being installed using a 2” x 6” external backer board, the line will start at 17 7/8” and extend to 20 7/8”.
5. Attach the floor mounting plate to the floor, parallel to the wall, using the lag bolts provided or another suitable fastener. Cover the heads with the black, plastic plugs provided.
6.  Place the vertical poles into the fittings on the floor plate. The eye bolts are positioned toward the top of the Wall System, away from the floor. Do not tighten the set screws in the fittings at this time.
7. Place the top cross pole (with fittings attached) on the vertical poles.
8.  Install the 16” extension pipes between the fittings on the top cross pole and the wall mounting plate.
9. Use the 3/16” allen wrench to tighten the set screws for the extension tubes in the fittings in the wall mounting plate so the extension pipes do not fall out.
10. Rotate the vertical poles so that the eyebolts are facing away from the wall. Do not tighten the set screws in the fittings at this time. Leaving the set screws loose will make the installation of the push-through bar easier.
11. Install two of the nylon bushings in each side of the push-through bar.
12. Position the push-through bar between the vertical poles such that the bushings are in line with a pair of the (3) 3/8” holes in each of the poles. Multiple hole positions allow the user to select the desired height for the push-through bar — the middle hole is recommended.
13. Insert one of the shoulder bolts through one of the holes of the vertical poles from the outside. Then insert the shoulder bolt through a large (3/4” long) metal spacer, a plywood disc, a large washer; and finally, through the bushing in the push-through bar.
14. Place a small washer and locknut over the threaded end of each bolt. Tighten the locknuts until the bar can no longer swing and then back the nuts off just enough to allow free movement of the push-through bar.
15. Tighten all set screws in the fittings:

TOOLS
The tools required for the installation of a Wall System depend on the structure and composition of your wall and floor. Minimally, you will need a variable speed drill, a Phillips screwdriver bit and the following:

• 3/16” Allen wrench (provided)
• Two 1/2” socket wrenches or one socket and one open-ended, box end or crescent wrench
• Framing level
• Plumb line
• Framing square

---|---

Notes: If considering new construction, we recommend having your contractor install blocking within the wall or, if not possible, externally mounting a 2” x 6” (or other suitable backing board) with the centerline located 81 1/8” from the floor. The backing board needs to span a minimum of three studs and be positioned such that the Wall System, when assembled in the desired location, is approximately centered.
In addition, if your floor is concrete, you will need to get 4 lag shields from your hardware store. Lag shields are anchor fittings inserted into holes drilled into the concrete floor. The lag bolts are screwed into the lag shields.

1. Using a safety link, attach one safety chain to the 2nd eyebolts located on each end of the upright pole.
2. Attach a quick snap clip with a thumbscrew to the other end of each chain.

When not in use, the safety chains should be clipped to their home eyebolts allowing them to hang in a loop.
Storing the Push-through Bar
To store the push-through bar, rotate it back through the upright poles. Loop the storage strap around the push-through bar and clip it to its eyebolt.
