13-7 Replace cable and fine adjustment assembly on
the new lockout lever. Install the new lockout lever
on the base frame locking lever bracket with the
7/16 inch bolt and retaining spring.
NOTE: Make sure the spring is on the left side
of the lockout lever between the lockout
retaining bracket (base frame) and the
lockout lever. See Figure 2, 4 and 5.
13-8 Re-adjust the cable tension by performing the
following:
FIRST: Place the lockout lever in the position
where the front faceplate captures
the lever in the down position. This
is the TreadClimber® mode position
(treadles freely rotate). Adjust the major
adjustment by pulling the cable through
the junction plastic and metal cylinder
cable housing, so that the cable is tight
and the locking pins are pulled clear of
the dependency teeter. Secure the cable
position by tightening the set screw with
a screwdriver. See Figure 2 and 3.
NEXT: Release the lockout lever from the face
plate and make sure the pins engage the
teeter and lockout treadles. The fine tune
adjustment can be used to tension or
loosen the cable as needed. See Figure 4.
13-9 Replace right and left top base plastic (3 screws
each).
13-10 Replace front base plastic (4 screws).
13-11 Plug power cord back into the front of the unit
and recalibrate (see Appendix 3 for Calibration
Procedure).
