CABLE INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE:
CABLE INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE:
One of the most critical areas that require frequent inspection on any weight machine is the cable or belt system that lifts
the weight stack. Sudden failure of a worn cable can, in some instances, result in injury to the user. It is the responsibility
of the facility to inspect the cables frequently.
Cables are components that wear over time. This means that the more often a piece of equipment is used, the greater the
likelihood that cable wear will occur. This holds true for equipment made by any manufacturer and applies to urethane
belts as well as wire rope cables. Listed below are the areas of the cable that require inspection.
*TRUE Fitness recommends that all cables be replaced on an annual basis to maintain the safety of all users.
Cable Wear:
Inspect all cables for any signs of wear. Pay close attention to the cable in the area of the end fittings and attachment
points. Inspect the areas around the pulleys and/or cams. Shown below are examples of cables that exhibit signs of
potential failure. If any of these conditions are apparent, the machine should immediately be taken out of service and
repaired. Be sure to use only cables supplied by TRUE Fitness. DO NOT use cables that have fittings attached with hand-
crimp tools.
