How to use the
Revo Adjustment System
The Revo is an efficient and versatile adjustment system for
Balanced Body Studio Reformers and Combination equipment.
With the Revo, you can quickly and easily change the distance
between the shoulder rests and the footbar, creating the
ergonomically correct position for each client.
Moving the Revo springbar and carriage
The Revo springbar moves to one of five indexed stop positions.
The springbar is integrated with the carriage – when you move
the springbar, the carriage automatically moves with it.
To move the springbar and carriage:
» Attach one spring to the springbar. You can attach more than
one spring, but additional springs increase the tension and
make the springbar more difficult to move.
» Position yourself at the side of the Reformer. (If you are using
the Reformer yourself, you can make the adjustment from
a seated or straddle position.) Pull one of the cam handles
upward. The cam hook must fully engage the metal plate on
the bottom of the carriage.
» Keeping the cam hook engaged, use your other hand to move
the carriage into the desired position. The springbar will move
with the carriage. When you reach a carriage stop position,
you'll hear a "click." There are index markers along the rail
that you can use as a visual reference.
» Release the cam handle so that it drops completely into an
indexed position.

To move the carriage, grasp the cam handle and pull up, then move the
carriage backward or forward. You'll hear a solid "click" when you have reached
the next position.

Locking the Revo Footbar
®
The Revo footbar features a sliding lock
that keeps the footbar securely in place.
To lock the Revo footbar:
» Slide the locks away from the footbar
bracket.
» Pull the footbar slightly upward and
move the footbar support into the
desired position.
» Slide the locks into the support brackets
as far as they will go to secure the
footbar. Fig 1.
Pre-loading springs
You can pre-load springs by attaching
them on the posts on top of the springbar.
Adjusting Carriage Position
The Revo allows you to adjust the distance between the shoulder
rests and the footbar, creating the ergonomically correct position
for clients of all heights.
For short to average height clients, use positions #1or #2.
For taller clients, or those with a limited range of motion, use
positions #3 - #5.
You can also raise the footbar to create an even shorter
distance between the shoulder rests and footbar.
Conversely, you can lower the footbar to further lengthen
the distance between the shoulder rests and footbar.
