CARE AND CLEANING

We recommend wiping vinyl surfaces using warm water with
mild soap, and clear water rinses for day-to-day cleaning.
Ensure soap does not leave an oily residue, or make surfaces slippery.
We do not recommend using chemical-based products.
The inside of the aluminum rails and rollers should be cleaned weekly
with window cleaner and a cloth. Spray cleaner onto cloth first,
avoid spraying directly onto surfaces, rollers or aluminum rails.
Never use oil lubricants as they may damage rollers.

REFORMER SET TINGS
CARRIAGE STOPPER
The carriage stopper position determines how close the carriage
slides in toward the wooden standing platform and dictates the
range of motion required of the body's joints. The hole closest to the
wooden standing platform is referred to as position #1; the next hole
is position #2, etc.
ADJUSTING THE CARRIAGE STOPPER
Do not sit on carriage while adjusting.
w
Remove all springs from gearbar.
w
Insert carriage stopper in one of six positions.
w
Be sure carriage stopper is completely inserted
w
in the hole and is not loose.
The carriage stopper position is usually selected so that when lying
supine (on your back), with heels on the footbar, there is a 90° angle
of flexion at the hip joint when the carriage is against the carriage
stopper. If injury, disease or other limitations restrict flexion at the
hips or knees, adjust the carriage stopper by placing it farther out.
Adjustments can also be made for the exercise being performed.
The carriage stopper must be inserted in one of the six
NOTE:
positions AT ALL TIMES. Using the Reformer without the carriage
stopper may cause damage to the gearbar block, rollers and/or
molded spring holder.
SPRINGS
The number of springs attached to the gearbar determines the total
amount of resistance. Most Merrithew Reformers are equipped with
one 50% tension and four 100% tension springs. Also available are
25% and 125% tension springs.
ADJUSTING SPRINGS
Take care when attaching and detaching springs.
w
For safety, place one hand on gearbar.
w
Firmly grasp spring, (not the ball on the spring),
