to ensure the pins in the plunger knobs protrude and lock into
the vertical tubes. Pull both knobs out and move the sliders to a
different position. Release the knobs before the next hole and
continue to slide the system into position. Once over a hole the
pin of the knob will automatically drop into the opening. Once
each slider is in a new position apply a downward force on the
PTB. The pins of the sliders should not come out of the holes. If
the pins do not stay in the tube holes, the pull knobs need to be
replaced. Call Balanced Body for replacement parts.
Push-Through Bar (PTB) with
T-pin setting
For bottom sprung exercises, if
your client's head is below the
PTB, use the T-pin setting in
addition to the safety strap or
chain. Spotting your client is
highly recommended. This is
important for safety.
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.
Correct safety strap attachment.
the safety strap or chain should always secure the bar.
The safety strap or chain should wrap around the PTB and the
canopy frame, not the eyebolts. The strap or chain is only as
strong as the weakest link, and the frame and bar are a great
deal stronger than eyebolts. Figure 6.

sprung exercises, the safety strap should be attached so that
the angle of the push-through bar is no lower than the 4 o'clock
position. This limits the range of the bar and prevents it from
potentially coming into contact with the user.
Using the 4th side on the PTB along with the safety strap is
highly recommended to prevent injury.
CHAIRS
Dismount with control.
When dismounting the chair, release the
pedals slowly, with control. Don't let the pedal snap back.
Spot users.
When a user is standing, sitting or lying on top of
the chair, there is increased risk of falling. Standing exercises,
in particular, can be unstable. Spotting users will make these
exercises safer.

UPHOLSTERY CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning. You can extend the life of upholstery by keeping it
clean and free of dirt, oil and perspiration. After each use, wipe
down the upholstery with a solution of mild soap and water. Then
wipe it down with clean water and dry with a soft towel.
Disinfecting.
Equipment upholstery is coated with BeautyGard®,
which offers antibacterial protection. If you want additional
disinfection, Balanced Body offers Balanced Body Clean
disinfecting solution. Use of any other solution (especially those
containing essential oils) will shorten the life of some equipment
and is not recommended.
HOW TO INSPECT AND TIGHTEN NUTS AND BOLTS.
Use your fi ngers to check nuts and bolts
for tightness. If you can turn the nut or
bolt with your fi ngers, it's too loose and
should be tightened. To tighten, fi rst
tighten using your fi ngers. Rotate nuts
and bolts clockwise to tighten. Insert
a screwdriver through eyebolts to hold
them steady while you tighten the nuts.
Then use a small wrench to tighten the
nuts further. Figure 9.
It is recommended to check to ensure the pins in the plunger
knobs protrude and lock into the vertical tubes. First pull both
knobs out and start moving the sliders to a different position.
Release the knobs before the next hole and continue to slide the
system. Once over a hole the pin of the knob will drop into the
opening. Once each slider is in a new position apply a down force
on the PTB directly downwards. The pins of the sliders should
not come out of the holes. If the pins do not stay in the tube
holes, the pull knobs need to be replaced; call Balanced Body for
replacement parts.
