Replacing Retractable Ropes CONT’D

7 Place screw and rimmed washer directly in the center of

replacement rope,

⁄2” from the end and thread completely

through rope.

NOTE: Screw must be placed exactly in the center

of rope to create a secure and safe interlock with rope

housing reel.

11 Wind rope around rope housing reel so rope lays flat

against hub. There should be some resistance on reel

and you should hear clicking as spring mechanism

engages. Recoil full length of rope.

8 To determine the direction rope must coil, place

empty reel on square shaft. Rotate reel in each direction.

An audible clicking sound will indicate the correct

direction to wind reel.

10 Place reel back on square shaft and replace

plastic washer. Secure cotter pin so middle curve

fits over square shaft.

12 Replace carriage (see page 24 for full instructions)

or return reformer to upright position.

Feed ropes through pulleys, attach Reformer loops

and set ropes to desired length (see pages 10

- 12).

Reset ropes between self-locking cleats then set fully

into rope retaining hooks.

REQUIRED TOOLS:

one flat-head screwdriver
