TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts immedi-
ately. The weight system can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
TIGHTENING THE CABLES
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight
system, can stretch slightly when it is first used. If
there is slack in the cables before resistance is felt,
the cables should be tightened. Make sure that the
cables are not too tight, or the Top Weight (27) will be
lifted off the weight stack.
Slack can be removed from the cables by tightening
the M6 Nylon Locknut (103) on either end of the High
Cable (63) inside a “U”-bracket (62). It may be nec-
essary to remove the 3 1/2” Pulley (not shown) from
the “U”-bracket to do this.
Additional slack can be removed by moving a 3 1/2”
Pulley (56) between the pair of Long Pulley Plates
(59) to a set of holes closer to the middle of the
Plates. Remove the M10 Nylon Locknut (101) and
the M10 x 46mm Button Head Bolt (76) from the
Cable Trap (105), Pulley, and Pulley Plates. Re-
attach the Pulley and Cable Trap with the Bolt and
Locknut. Make sure that the Cable Trap is posi-
tioned to hold the cable in place, and that the
cable and Pulley move smoothly.
Note: If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often,
the cable may have become twisted. Remove the
cable and re-install it.
Additional slack can be removed from the cables by
tightening a cable into the M6 Nylon Locknut (103)
inside a Cable Clip (38). To do this, pull the Clip
Cover (39) back and use a pair of pliers to tighten the
Locknut. Replace the Cover.
If the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this
manual.
