ATTACHING AND ADJUSTING THE STRAPS
If your reformer comes with leather strapsinstead of ropes, use
these instructions to attach and adjust them.
Detach all springs from the carriage. Flip the carriage up so
that the underside of the carriage is facing the head-end of the
frame. If possible, have another person hold the carriage in place
on the rails while adjusting the strap (NOTE: Do not try and rest the
carriage on the rails by itself – it may fall over.)
Take one of the leather straps and feed the "holed" end up and
around the caster at the head end of the frame, through the
footman ring at the top of the carriage and, finally, through the
buckle on the underside of the carriage.
Strap going through the footman ring
and into the buckle
(NOTE: The person holding the carriage may need to lean
the carriage closer to the head end of the frame for easier
adjustment.)
Use the holes on the strap to adjust to the desired length and
then buckle. Pull the excess strap end through the metal ring
below the buckle. Repeat with the other strap. Place the carriage
back into the frame.
Take the loop at the other end of the strap and put it around
the headrest or the post behind the shoulder rest. Repeat the
procedure on the other side with the other strap.
RISERS
The risers on the Studio Reformer can be adjusted by loosening
the black knob at the back of the riser and slidiing the pulley up
or down. Moving the pulley on the riser will change the angle of
pull for an exercise. Different studios and teachers have different
riser height preferences. For exercises like leg circles with feet in
the straps, the user will have a bigger range of motion available
if the risers are in a higher position. In more traditional studios
the risers are kept in the low position because it more closesly
replicates a traditional Reformer.
