Rapid Change spring bar The spring bar moves between its 4 positions, spanning 20 cm, with the springs still attached.
Six position foot bar The padded foot bar locks in 6 positions including flat, and the 3 position headrest and removable off centre shoulder rests fine tune the setup.

Installation
Build the reformer The A8-Pro weighs over 70 kg and arrives in 4 boxes, so two people are needed. A socket spanner and Allen key are included. Align suggests resting the frame on two trestles 180 cm apart to fit the legs, and placing the wheeled legs at the standing platform end when a half cadillac is fitted.
Check ceiling height Inserting the frame needs about 2.45 m of clearance on standard legs and 2.75 m on rehab legs. If the room is tall enough for the tower but not to insert it, remove the legs, fit the tower and then refit the legs.
Fit brackets and frame Bolt each bracket on with 4 short bolts and 2 long bolts into the underside of the frame, then slide the tower in with a helper and tighten the grub screws with the Allen key.
The manufacturer's commercial warranty applies from the purchase date to the first owner and is rated for up to 37.5 hours of use a week and users up to 330 lb (150 kg). The terms are set by component: ten years on metal and aluminium frames and welded parts, five years on wooden frames and the spring bar, three years on the footbar mechanism, two years on other non-wear parts and one year on ropes, straps, clips, handles and wheels.
Spring cover is two years or 3,000 hours for studios with five reformers or fewer, and one year or 3,000 hours for larger studios. Upholstery carries 90 days from delivery. The warranty does not cover normal wear, damage from misuse or unapproved repairs, cosmetic scratches or rust, and it requires the maintenance schedule in the manual to be followed.

Model
This OneAlign Pilates A8-Pro Reformer with Half Cadillac
Align offers short 28 cm, standard 42 cm and rehab 64 cm legs, and they can be swapped later. Taller legs need more ceiling height, as the tower stands 199 cm, 213 cm or 235 cm tall respectively.
How much ceiling height is needed?
Align states about 2.45 m of clearance to insert the frame on standard legs and 2.75 m on rehab legs. The legs can be removed during fitting if the room is only tall enough for the finished height.
Is the A8-Pro suitable for a busy studio?
Yes. A-series reformers carry Align's commercial warranty, covering use of up to 37.5 hours per week with a 150 kg user limit.
Are the mattress converter and platform extender included?
No. This bundle is the reformer, the Half Cadillac frame and the A-series brackets. Align recommends adding both for full half cadillac use, and the A8-Pro shares these accessories with the earlier A2 models.
Can the rope risers stay on the reformer?
Yes. You can keep them on the reformer or fold them down and use pulleys on the tower uprights. Align notes the rope line differs slightly between the two.
