TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time you use the weight system. 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.

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 1/4" Nylon Locknut (2)
that connects the end of the Short Cable (23) to
the Long "U"-Bracket (57).
• See drawing 1. Remove the 3/8" Nylon Locknut
(21) and the 3/8" x 2" Bolt (12) from the 3 1/2"
Pulley (15), Cable Trap (66), and Long "U"-Bracket
(57). Re-attach the Pulley and Cable Trap to the
lower hole in the Long "U"-Bracket. Be sure that
the Cable Trap is in the proper position and that
the Cable and Pulley move smoothly.
• See drawing 2. Tighten the 1/4" Nylon Locknut (2)
that connects the end of the Medium Cable (58) to
the Small "U"-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 this cable two ways:
• See drawing 2. Tighten the 1/4" Nylon Locknut (2)
that connects the end of the Long Cable (72) to
the Small "U"-Bracket (71).
• See drawing 3. Remove the 3/8" Nylon Locknut
(21) and the 3/8" x 5" Bolt (not shown) from the
"V"-Pulley (50) and Long Cable Trap (not shown).
Re-attach the Pulley and Cable Trap to a lower
hole in the Squat Upright (56). 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.
