RISERS
Risers can be adjusted by loosening the knob that holds the
pulley in the slot on the Tower and moving the pulley up or down.
THE ALLEGRO TOWER
The Allegro Tower consists of a metal frame that attaches to
the head of the Allegro Reformer. Eyebolts in the frame provide
attachment points for the springs. Loops, handles or a wooden
Roll-down Bar can be attached to the springs creating a wide
variety of exercises. The Allegro Tower also has an attached
Push-through Bar.
SPRING ATTACHMENT POINTS
The Allegro Tower has 24 spring attachment points creating
a variety of possible exercises and a limitless amount of
adjustability. Each upright has 5 eyebolts on the front and 5 on
the back allowing users to perform exercises from either side
of the Tower. Two eyebolts are attached to the Allegro frame to
create a low position, two eyebolts are attached to the sides of
the arch of the Tower and one is attached at the highest point
in the center. This single eyebolt is to hold the security strap
in position. Do NO attach springs to this eyebolt. Common
spring attachment points are listed below and in each exercise
description.
In order to adjust the tension of the springs for a particular client,
move the attachment point further away from the client to make
the spring heavier, move it closer to the client to make it lighter.
Low: Springs are attached from eyebolts at the bottom of the
Allegro frame. These springs are used to hold the Push-through
Bar in position.
Middle: Springs are attached to the 3rd eye hook from the
bottom.
High: Springs are attached to the high points on either side of
the arch at the top of the Tower.
ALLEGRO TOWER SPRINGS
The Allegro Tower comes with 4 sets of springs as follows:
2 Sets - Short springs
Yellow – Very light
2 sets - Long springs
Yellow – Very light

PUSH-THROUGH BAR ADJUSTMENTS
The Push-through Bar has three possible pivot points on the
Tower frame. It is very important that the pivot point be high
enough to clear the users head when they are lying under it. If a
client has an especially large head, excessive thoracic kyphosis or
a large nose, the bar can hit them when they are doing exercises.
To adjust the Push-through Bar, push the button on the top of
the T-pin in order to free the pin. Pull the pins out of the uprights,
move the bar to the appropriate hole and re-insert the pins.
Always return the Push-through Bar to a safe height if it has been
moved.
SAFETY
It is very important that the instructor be present and spotting
the client whenever the Push-through Bar is in use. The Push-
through Bar should never be adjusted low enough to hit a client
who is lying under it. The safety strap must always be used when
the Push-through Bar is sprung from below. The safety strap
must be adjusted so that the angle of the Push-through Bar,
when viewed from the side, is no lower than the four or eight
o'clock position and will not hit the client should their feet slip off
the bar.
