TROUBLESHOOTING
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. To tighten the cables, first insert the
weight pins into the centers of the weight stacks. Slack can be removed from the cables in several ways:
See drawing 1. To tighten the Squat Cable (73) or VKR High
Cable (not shown), first loosen the 1/2” Nut (118) on the end
of the Cable, away from the 1/2” Washer (1). Screw the end
of the Cable farther into the Weight Tube (43). Then, retight-
en the Nut against the Washer.
See drawing 2. To tighten the other five cables, first remove
the upper or lower 3/8” Nylon Locknut (87), 3/8” x 2” Bolt
(100), 3 1/2” Pulley (78), and Cable Trap (68) from the Pulley
Plates (63). Reattach the Pulley and the Cable Trap between
a set of holes closer to the center of the Pulley Plates with
the Bolt and Nylon Locknut.
See drawing 3. To further tighten the other five cables, first
remove the 3/8” Nylon Locknut (87), 3/8” x 2” Bolt (100), 3 1/2”
Pulley (78), and Cable Trap (68) from the “U”-bracket (64).
Reattach the Pulley and the Cable Trap between the higher
set of holes in the “U”-bracket with the Bolt and Nylon
Locknut.
Do not overtighten the cables. If the cables are overtight-
ened, the top weights will be lifted off the weight stacks.
If a cable slips off the pulleys repeatedly, it may have
become twisted. Remove the cable and re-install it.
If the
cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACE-
MENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual.
