TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the home gym system. Replace any worn parts immediately. The
home gym 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 home gym 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.
Tightening the Medium and Short Cables
If any slack is felt when using the front weight stack,
both the Medium Cable (58) and the Short Cable (23)
will need to be tightened. Insert the weight pin into
the middle of the weight stack. Slack can be removed
from these cables three ways:
¥ See drawing 1. Tighten the 1/4Ó Nylon Locknut
(2) that connects the end of the Short Cable (23)
to the Long ÒUÓ-Bracket (57).
¥ See drawing 1. Move the 3 1/2Ó Pulley (15) to the
other hole in the Long ÒUÓ-Bracket (57). Remove
the 3/8Ó Nylon Locknut (21) and the 3/8Ó x 2Ó Bolt
(12) from the Cable Trap (66), Pulley, and Long
ÒUÓ-Bracket. Re-attach the Pulley and Cable
Trap. Be sure that the Cable Trap is in the proper
position and that the Cable and Pulley move
smoothly.
¥ See drawing 2. Tighten the 1/4Ó Nylon Locknut
(2) that connects the end of the Medium Cable
(58) to the Small ÒUÓ-Bracket (71).
Tightening the Long Cable
If any slack is felt when using the rear weight stack,
the Long Cable (72) will need to be tightened. Insert
the weight pin into the middle of the weight stack.
Slack can be removed from these cables two ways:
¥ See drawing 2. Tighten the 1/4Ó Nylon Locknut
(2) that connects the end of the Long Cable (72)
to the Small ÒUÓ-Bracket (71).
¥ See drawing 3. Move the ÒVÓ-Pulley (50) to
another hole in the Squat Arm Upright (56).
Remove the 3/8Ó Nylon Locknut (21) and the 3/8Ó
x 5Ó Bolt (not shown) from the Long Cable Trap
(not shown), and Pulley. Re-attach the Pulley and
Cable Trap. Be sure that the Cable trap is in the
proper position and that the Cable and Pulley
move smoothly.
Do not overtighten the cables. The top weight will
be lifted off the weight stack.
Note: If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often,
the cable may have become twisted. Remove the cable and re-install it.
If the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual.
