Spring rotation (quarterly). You can prolong Reformer spring life
by rotating springs of the same weight each quarter. Unhook and
move to another position on the springbar. Rotating springs helps
them wear more evenly.
Risers on the outside. Wood risers must be installed on the
outside of the frame. Risers can loosen over time, so always
make sure they are tight.
Springs hooked downward
under carriage. Make sure
springs are hooked in a
downward position. Figure 3.
Secure the carriage. When
your Reformer is not in use, be
sure that at least two springs
secure the carriage to the
springbar.
Default settings. Many users have a "default setting" for
Reformers. At the end of a session, the user connects a
prescribed number of springs in neutral tension, sets the footbar
at a pre-determined height, and sets the ropes at a specified
length. This ensures that the equipment is ready for the next use,
and that the carriage is secured by the springs.
Footstrap under tension in box
work. When using the box and
footstrap, be sure the footstrap
is under tension (with snaps
pulling from the top of the
eyebolt) before beginning the
exercise. Figure 4.
REFORMER WHEEL AND TRACK MAINTENANCE
Clean the tracks and wheels (weekly). For smooth carriage travel
and to maintain the longevity of the wheels, we recommend that
you wipe down the tracks once a week.
Disconnect the springs and clean the entire length of the tracks
with a soft cloth and a mild commercial cleaner such as Simple
Green®, Fantastik® or 409®. Do not use abrasive cleansers or
pads, as they can damage the anodizing on the rails. To clean
the wheels, hold the cloth against the wheels while you move the
carriage. If you feel a bump in the ride, dirt has adhered to the
surface of the rails or wheels. Clean hair and debris out of the
rails. Hair can wrap around the wheel axles and eventually build
up and cause wheel failure. Use tweezers to remove hair from
the wheels.

Lubrication. Reformers rarely need lubrication. Occasionally,
a sidewheel may squeak. If this happens, lightly spray a small
amount of dry silicone on a cloth and wipe the aluminum
tracking rail where the sidewheel makes contact. "Dry" silicone
does not have an oil base. Oil-based ("wet") silicone and WD40
should not be used as they attract dirt. Never spray silicone near
or inside the wheels – this can wash the lubricant out of the
bearings and ruin the bearings. You can purchase dry silicone
at most hardware and auto parts stores. Pulleys sometimes
require lubrication to stop a squeak. Direct a very quick spray of
dry silicone or Teflon spray into the pulley. Be careful not to over
spray. You may want to remove ropes to avoid getting silicone
on them.
Footbar supports (quarterly). For all Balanced Body footbars with
footbar support brackets, verify that the pivot screw attaching the
footbar support bracket to footbar is tight, but not so tight that it
prevents the support from rotating freely. For Legacy Reformers,
tighten the pivot bolt to secure footbar support.
Headrest (monthly). Make sure the hinge screws and bolts on
your headrest are tight.
Under the Reformer (monthly). Move Reformers and make sure
you clean the floor space underneath.
Standing Platform Footbar Bumpers (wood Reformers only). If
your standing platform footbar bumpers (the small plastic pieces
that protect the standing platform from the footbar) are broken
or damaged, please call Balanced Body to replace.
TRAPEZE TABLE (CADILLAC)
Cotter pins removed. These pins are located in the vertical tubes
that align the canopy to the frame and should be removed as
soon as installation is complete. Unremoved cotter pins can tear
clothing and lacerate the skin. Use pliers to remove the pins.
Save the pins in case you need
to disassemble and reassemble
the table for transportation
purposes. Figure 5.
Push-Through Bar (PTB)
control. Make sure you have
enough room around the trap table to safely use the PTB without
fear of hitting other people. The PTB can be dangerous if not
properly used. Only trained, experienced users should use the
PTB. A spotter should always maintain control of the bar with one
hand. If the user should lose control of the bar, the spotter can
maintain control of it.
