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 1/4" Nylon Locknut (2) that
connects the end of the Short Cable (23) to the Long
"U"-Bracket (57).
• See drawing 1. Move the 3 1/2" Pulley (15) to the other
hole in the Long "U"-Bracket (57). Remove the 3/8"
Nylon Locknut (21) and the 3/8" x 2" Bolt (12) from
Pulley Covers (96), Pulley, and Long "U"-Bracket. Re-
attach the Pulley and Pulley Covers. Be sure that the
Pulley Covers are 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 these cables 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. Move the 3 1/2" Pulley to another hole
in the Squat Arm Upright (56). Remove the 3/8" Nylon
Locknut (21) and the 3/8" x 5" Bolt (not shown) from the
Pulley Covers (96), and Pulley. Re-attach the Pulley
and Pulley Covers. Be sure that the Pulley Covers are
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: Inspect all cables before each use. 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.
Replace all cables every two years.
