Clinical Reformer is not in use, leave at least two springs
connected to the frame.
» Keep children under the age of 12 and pets away from the
Clinical Reformer at all times.
» If you feel pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, stop

MAINTENANCE
» Depending on frequency of use, the springs should be safe to
use for one to two years (3000 hours). Replace any spring that
is kinked, bent or shows separations while at rest.
» If your ropes need to be replaced refer to the instructions on
the underside of the carriage. The Reformer will need to be
turned on its side (please place a Pilates mat on the floor next
to the Reformer to protect the finish), or stood on end if you
have transport wheels.
» Remove hair and debris from the axles of the wheels. Debris
can create pressure on the wheels, causing them to wear. If
you hear noise from the bearings, replace them.
» Repair any tears in the upholstery with an upholstery repair kit
available at auto parts stores, or have the repair done locally.
» Contact Balanced Body for other upholstery and re-upholstery
options. Replacement upholstery is available from Balanced
Body.
» Check and tighten all screws and bolts. Replace any missing
screws, retention pins, or other parts.
» Check the footbar bolts on a monthly basis to make sure they
are still secure.
CLEANING
Wipe the carriage pad, headrest, footbar and shoulder rests with
a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive mixture of soap and water
after each use. Keep the carriage track and wheels free from
dust and dirt. Clean the frame with a mild, non-abrasive mixture
of soap and water. Keep the ropes and springs clear of dust.
Cotton loops can be machine-washed. Hang to dry.
NOTE: DO NOT LUBRICATE OR GREASE ANY COMPONENTS
ON THE FOOTBAR, CARRIAGE, WHEELS OR RAILS. If you have
any issues or questions please contact Balanced Body Techincal
Support. By adding lubrication or grease it may not lock the
components securely and may become unsafe.
