2. If the machine rocks or is tippy, adjust

using a 13MM open-end wrench and a
6MM hex key.
3. Slide the foot up or down until the
machine is leveled.
4. Re-tighten the bolts and nuts.
TOP PLATE & CABLE ADJUSTMENT:
1. Engage pin at maximum
weight and actuate arm 3 to 4 times to
fully seat the weight stacks.
2. Disengage pins and
verify that there is no gap between the
Top Plate and the lower weight plate. If
a gap exists or if there is too much slack
on the cable, then the cable tension
needs to be adjusted.
3. Using two 13MM open end wrench,
loosen the upper M8 Jam Nuts. Adjust
cable tension until the Top Plate drops
and rests on to the weight stack.
4. Hand tighten the jam nuts and check to
make sure the gap is gone. Cable
should deflect no more than ±25mm
from centerline without raising the Top
Plate. Check for smooth
pin engagement.
5. Tighten jam nuts.
