before using your new equipment and keep the

manual on hand for future reference.

UNSAFE OR IMPROPER USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT

BY FAILING TO READ AND COMPLYWITH ALL

REQUIREMENTS ANDWARNINGS COULD RESULT

INSERIOUSINJURY.

It is impossible to predict every situation and

condition that can occur while using this equipment.

Merrithew™makes no representation about the

safe use of any exercise equipment that cannot be

predicted or avoided.

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ASSEMBLE ON YOUR

OWN. SOME OF THESE STEPS REQUIRE TWO PEOPLE.

PLEASEREAD THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY

BEFOREBEGINNING ASSEMBLY.

Merrithew recommends cautious assembly and

usage andwishesyou many hours of safe and

effectiveexercise.

User Guidelines

Pilates equipment when used effectively can faciliate many

Pilates exercises safely and effectively. However, care and caution

must be taken as there are some inherent dangers when using

any exercise equipment — especially when spring resistance

isinvolved.

The Trainer comes equipped with a full compliment of

springs,straps and a safety chain. The springs can be attached

tovarious locations on the frame, or on the straps hooked

aroundthe sliding bar. Besure your spring clips are completely

closed and secure.

For inexperienced or first-time users, this equipment

should only be used under the supervision of a

trainedprofessional.

Please ensure that you and your clients/patients have

receivedproper instruction regarding the correct and safe

useofthis equipment.

This manual includes general guidelines for setup and usage.

To get the most out of this equipment, Merrithew offers

instructional DVDs and manuals. Personalized training is offered

through our Host, Licensed and Corporate Training Centers.

Visit merrithew.com for more information.

CAUTION IMPROPER USE OF EXERCISE EQUIPMENT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY.

TO REDUCE RISK, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:

wThe Tower Trainer™must be used under the supervision

of a trained professional.

wBefore starting any exercise program, consult a physician.

Stopexercising immediately if you experience chest pain,

feel faint, have difficulty breathing or experience discomfort.

wBefore using equipment, read and follow the safety

instructions in this manual and obtain thorough instruction

from a qualified trainer. Use equipment for intended

exercises only.

wDo not use if equipment appears worn, broken or damaged.

contacting Merrithew.

wDo not wear loose clothing while using the Tower Trainer.

wSet up and operate the Tower Trainer on a solid level

surface. Do not position the Tower Trainer on loose rugs or

uneven surfaces.

wMake sure that adequate space is available for access to

and around the Tower Trainer.

wEnsure the equipment is properly adjusted for your size

and ability level.

wWhen springs are used, ensure spring clips are fully closed

at both ends of springs. A spring clip that is only half closed

risks coming undone and detaching with high force.

wWhen using the push-thru bar with spring from below,

locking spring clips must be used to attach to the frame or

uprights, and the safety chain must be attached.

wWhen using the push-thru bar, a trained professional must

keep a hand on the bar at all times.

wEnsure that the Main Frame is secured properly on the

Base Frame with the locking knobs before using the

TowerTrainer.

wAlways make sure that the Dowel Holder is adjusted to the

same height with Spring Pins in parallel holes in Uprights.

wAlways choose the workout which best fits your physical

strength and flexibility level. Know your limits and train

within them. Always use common sense when exercising.

wBe careful to maintain your balance while using, mounting,

dismounting or assembling the Tower Trainer, loss of balance

may result in a fall and serious injury.

wThe Tower Trainer should not be used by persons weighing

over 250 lbs (113 kgs).

time. Do not allow children to use or be around equipment

withoutadult supervision.

Care and Cleaning

Wipe vinyl surfaces using warm water with mild soap and

clear water rinses for day-to-day cleaning. Ensure soap does

not leave an oily residue, or make surfaces slippery.

Clean all metal surface areas as required, using a soft cloth

and gentle cleaner. CAUTION: We do not recommend using

chemical-basedproducts.

WARNING

Replace all springs every 24 months and spring clips

every 12 months, or as needed within that period.

Safety & Usage

Sliding Stability Bar Adjustment

To adjust the height of the Sliding Stability Bar [30], pull out

on the spring-loaded pins [29] and carefully slide the bar to the

desired location. Release the pins and ensure they are fully locked

in one of the holes. The bar also comes with a soft padded

covering to increase comfort and usability.

NOTE: Always make sure that the sliding stability bar holders

[7, 28] are adjusted so the bar is parallel with the mat.

in the uprights [10, 24] with two upper push-pins [26].

Attach the safety chain [3] to the eyehook [1] on the top of the

upper tube assembly [2]. For some exercises, the push-thru bar

[25] should be up and secured in position with the safety chain

[3]. The push-thru bar [25] can be used as a foot bar for some

exercises. Attach the push-thru bar (25) to the lowest adjustment

hole in the upright [10, 24] with two upper push-pins [26].

Lock the push-thru bar [25] to the uprights [10, 24] with

Using the Push-Thru Bar

Springs from Above

When doing exercises that require the spring resistance to come

from above the bar, attach the push-thru spring [36] to the

eyehook on the upper side of the push-thru bar [25] with the

locking spring clip [38]. Attach the other end of the push-thru

spring [36] to one of the eyehooks [1] on the upper tube

assembly [2] with the spring clip [4].

CAUTION: To prevent accidental injury, never put your face

(or another body part) above the push-thru or roll-down bars

while spotting an exercise.

Springs from Below

CAUTION! If using the push-thru bar with springs from

below, attach safety chain first.

1. When using the push-thru bar [25] with the push-thru spring

[36] attached from below for bottom load exercises, connect

one end of the safety chain [3] to one of the eyehooks [1] on

the upper tube assembly [2] with the spring clip [4]. Connect the

other end of the chain to the eyehook on the push-thru bar [25]

with the spring clip [4] as per illustration below.

2. Hook the spring to the eyehooks located at the base on the

other side of the upright [10 or 24] with the spring clip [4];

see illustration below. Ensure that the vinyl spring cover [37]

which covers the push-thru spring [36] is moved over the lower

part of the spring to avoid catching the user’s hair or clothing,

and to keep the spring from coming into contact with the

upholstered raised mat.

3. Attach the push-thru spring [36] to the loop on the underside

of the push-thru bar [25] with the locking spring clip [38],
