Please note: The Jump Board from the A Series reformer fits into the back of your Combo Chair III. This is an optional extra that can be added at a later date.
Essential Usage Information
This combo chair is for indoor use only or an appropriate level surface of a non-slip nature. Should the floor be slippery a non-slip mat should be used under the chair. The combo chair is not a toy and should not be used by children without the guidance of a suitable qualified Pilates professional.
Spring adjustment
The higher the peg on the Spring Holder Tree the greater the spring resistance on the split pedals. The lower the peg on the Spring Holder Tree the lighter the resistance and the lower the split pedals will be to the floor. There are 4 spring positions, springs should be used at the same height on each side of the same tree otherwise one of the springs will not be correctly tensioned and the spring could come unattached from the tree. Always check springs are properly attached and NEVER adjust whilst someone is on the equipment or the spring is under tension.
Splitting the pedals
To split the pedals simply unscrew the Connecting Bar Fastener that is located under the pedals, slide back the bar to separate the pedals and refasten to secure the Connecting Bar out of the way. The pedals can now operate independently. To reconnect simply reverse this procedure.
Adjusting the height of the handles
Holding the upper part of the handle, loosen, but do not remove, the knob on the handle holder then pull the knob out which will disengage the connector pin and allow you to adjust the height of the handle. Release the knob when you get to the height you desire and continue to move the handle until the locking pin locates in to one of the 9 height adjustment holes available. Once located at the desired height tighten the knob to prevent and rattle and to fully secure the handles.
Periodic maintenance
We recommend that you check that all the bolts are properly tightened as part of your regular maintenance routines. For cleaning upholstery we recommend cleaning with gym wipes from vital-clean.de which are available worldwide. For further information on cleaning recommendations and equipment maintenance please visit our Warranty and Maintenance Guide.
Spring life
Please always check springs for signs of wear and tear before use. Springs showing any sign of damage or which do not fully return to their closed position should be replaced immediately. Springs should be changed every two years
