Instructions
• Get equipment serviced regularly. See www.pilatesequip.com/instructions for a to most up-to-date service checklist.
Springs
• Never let go of expanded Springs. This is dangerous to people using the machine, or to others in the vicinity of the machine. It
will also immediately shorten the Spring life.
• Always remove Springs from the Push Through Bar, before adjusting its height or removing the Safety Strap.
• Fit Springs to the appropriate areas.
• Short Springs from the top of the Metal Frame to the Push Through Bar.
• Long length Springs: arm and Rolldown Bar exercises, from the Slide Bar End.
• When using Springs from the bottom of the Frame to the Push Through Bar (Tower):
i. Assure the Safety Strap is attached correctly first. Use the Safety Strap by wrapping the clip end around the Push
Through Bar and clipping it to any of the loops to achieve the correct bar height. Do this adjusting first, before
attaching the Springs.
ii. The Springs should also be set at initial tension or with tension. Springs are NOT to have any slack when the Push
Through Bar is sitting in the rest position.
iii. Make sure Spring Clips are not tangled before uses.
• Avoid leaving Spring expanded when the Tower is not in use. Expanded Springs will reduce the life of the Springs.
• Check all Springs weekly – as per maintenance instructions below.
Spring Tensions
• Green- Heavy
• Red- Medium
• Blue- Light
• Yellow- Extra light
Others
• When adjusting the height of the Push Through Bar, assure that each Pin locates itself in the Height Adjustment Holes
properly.
Evolution Half Trapeze Tower Installation Instructions.
Tools needed – 1(one) x 13mm spanner or socket wrench
1. Remove all items carefully from packaging. Do not cut through the tape and/or boxes with any sharp-knife like devices, due
to upholstery and polished timber surfaces. Lay all contents flat on floor. Clear floor from all packaging materials.
2. On the Reformer, position the Carriage at the Foot Bar End, so it’s out of the way. Make sure a Spring it attached to the
Spring Bar.
3. Find the 4 threaded Attachment Points located on the outside of the Tracks, at the Head End of the Reformer.
4. Prepare the 4 Bolts. Place onto each Bolt a M8 spring washers (Small with split). Then the M8 x 32mm washer (Large) and
then the M8 x 16mm washer (Medium). Place Bolts near the Attachment Points so they’re ready to insert.
5. This step requires 2 people. Each person is to hold either side of the Half Trapeze Tower frame. Lower the frame onto the
Reformer, at the Attachment Points. Pull the Trap Frame Uprights apart slightly so it doesn’t touch or damage the Reformer
Tracks. Align the holes at the base of the Trapeze Frame Bracket, over the Attachments Points (you should see no gap
between the Bracket and the Reformer Rail. Insert all bolts. Make sure that the bolts are threaded properly by fingers first, so
you don’t not cross thread the Bolts).
6. Tighten all Bolts with spanner or socket wrench before releasing Trapeze Frame.
7. Clean down all surfaces:
• Remove all fingerprints with a cloth lightly dampened with methylated spirits. Be careful not to get it on vinyl.
• Fit the Safety Strap around the Top Rail. Hang the Safety Strap over the Top Rail. Make sure that the 2 ends of the
Safety Strap are at a level height. Now feed the end with the Clip, through the loop located on the other end. Pull
the Clip and the rest of the strap through that loop. It should now be fastened around the Top Rail.
Maintenance
• Get equipment serviced regularly. See www.pilatesequip.com/instructions for a to most up-to-date service checklist.
• Check all Springs weekly. Note: If any of the below issues occur, replace Springs immediately.
i. Check springs by slightly stretching the Spring from the Spring's Loops or Clips at the end of the Spring, until the
coils just start to open. If a small section of the Spring Barrel separates while the rest of the coils remain close, the
Spring is faulty.
ii. Look for obvious bend/kinks in the Spring's barrel.
iii. Make sure that Spring's Loops haven't travelled up the Spring's coned coils.
iv. Check all spring clip arms are closing properly.
v. Check age of springs. It’s recommended to replace Trapeze Springs that are older than 4 years.
• Clean all vinyl upholstery daily, as a minimum. Use a mixture of water and some ordinary mild “Sunlight Pure Soap”, cut into
little flakes and placed in a spray bottle. Clean with a towel, cloth or paper towel. NOTE: Don’t use other products such as
chemicals, bleach, tea tree or eucalyptus oils, alcohol wipes or methylated spirits, or detergents- as they deteriorate vinyl.
Human sweat also causes vinyl deterioration. The vinyl has an antibacterial coating and doesn’t need harsh cleaners.
• Clean metal with a cloth lightly dampened with methylated spirits. Be careful not to get on vinyl.
• Check equipment regularly for any worn parts or problems. Bolts and nuts that may vibrate loose should be addressed,
without delay.
• Immediately replace worn, rusted or damaged springs or parts.
