TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

Inspect and tighten all parts each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. 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.
Slack can be removed by moving the 3 1/2" Pulley
(15) to the lower hole in the Long "U"-bracket (57).
Remove the 3/8" Nylon Locknut (21) and the 3/8" x 2"
Bolt (12) from the Cable Trap (66), Pulley, and "U"-
bracket. Re-attach the Pulley and Cable Trap. Make
sure that the Cable Trap is positioned to hold the
Cable in place, and that the Cable and Pulley move
smoothly.
Additional slack can be removed from the cables by
tightening the 1/4" Nylon Locknuts (2) at the end of
the Long Cable (23) and at the end of the Short
Cable (58). To do this you may need to remove the
Small "U"-bracket (67) from the Weight Tube (63) or
remove the 3 1/2" Pulley (15) from the Long "U"-
bracket (57). Make sure that the cables are not too
tight, or the Top Weight (76) 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.
