ropes out of the way, making sure to lift the headrest over the

USING THE PRE-INSTALLED PUSH-THROUGH BAR
(PTB) SAFETY STRAP
Note: Always use the safety strap for bottom-sprung exercises.
Use only with qualified
instructor supervision. The PTB
safety strap is used only for
bottom-sprung exercises. The
photo at right shows the safety
strap correctly positioned to
secure the push through bar.
The strap includes numerous
loops or "contact points"
so that you can adjust the
"stopping point" of the PTB if
it is released during exercise.
Note: Use the Velcro portion of the safety strap oriented at the
top of the Tower frame to secure the PTB upright when not in
use.
FOLDING, MOVING, AND STANDING AN ALLEGRO
TOWER
Note: Always exercise caution when moving, lifting, or storing an
Allegro or an Allegro with Tower. Because the Tower increases the
weight of the Allegro, use proper lifting technique to avoid injury.
It is recommended that two people move and stand an Allegro
Tower.
TO FOLD:
Note: Storing a folded Tower for extended periods of time is not
recommended. Doing so may dent the carriage pad.
1. Secure or remove all Tower springs.
2. Secure the PTB to the top of the Tower with the velcro on the
safety strap
3. Remove the mat conversion pad. Move the carriage to the
footbar end of the frame and attach all carriage springs to
spring hooks.
4. Loosen the black knobs that hold the Tower frame to the
support brackets (2 per side). Do NOT remove black knobs.
5. Standing at the end of the Reformer, firmly grasp both sides
of the Tower frame. Place one foot on Allegro frame end for
stability. Lift the Tower frame vertically so that the bottom of
the Tower frame clears the lower black knobs. Gently lower the
Tower onto the carriage.
6. Tighten black knobs holding the Tower to the Reformer.
