CABLE ADJUSTMENT
For the strength machine to function correctly, the
cables must be tensioned correctly. To check the ten-
sion of the cables, insert the weight pin into the top
weight plate. Next, slowly raise and lower the top
weight by performing one repetition. The top weight
should come to rest just on top of the next weight
when the repetition is completed.
If there is too much tension on the cables, the top
weight will not rest on the next weight, and it may be
difficult to insert the weight pin into the weight plates.
If there is not enough tension on the cables, the top
weight will not be lifted immediately when the repeti-
tion is begun. Ideally, the cable should not move more
than 1/2 in. (1.3 cm) from the resting position before
the top weight is lifted.
If there is too much tension or not enough tension on
a cable, adjust the cable as described in the following
steps.
Top Weight Pulley Adjustment
Tools required: 9/16" open or box-end wrench, 5/16"
hex key
1. Remove the access cover by pulling it free at the
bottom and then sliding it upward until the two
sets of tabs release
Pulley
Top Weight
2. Using a 5/16" hex key and a 9/16" open or box-
end wrench, loosen the nut holding the pulley in
the bracket on the top weight.
3. To increase the tension, slide the pulley down-
ward in the slot. To decrease the tension, slide the
pulley upward.
4. Tighten the nut and check the tension as
described in CABLE ADJUSTMENT on this page.
If necessary, readjust the pulley.
5. Replace the access cover.
Handle End Adjustment
Tools required: 1/8" hex key, cable cutters, utility
knife, torque wrench
Note: Make this adjustment only if the pulley in the
top weight has been fully adjusted to the bottom of
the slot as described above and the cable requires
more tension. This adjustment requires shortening the
cable; shorten only one end of the cable.
1. Create slack in the cable by removing the weight
pin and pulling the handle out 6–8 in. (15–20 cm).
Insert the weight pin into the third weight plate
and the tube on the bottom of the top weight.
2. Push the black rubber cover off the aluminum
coupler and slide the cover up the cable to con-
tact the pulley in the swivel arm.
3. Loosen the four set screws in the coupler and pull
the cable free.
4. Cut off 1 in. (2.5 cm) of the cable end using cable
cutters. Note: Using any other tool may flatten
or disrupt the end strands so that it may be
difficult to reinsert the cable into the hole of
the coupler.
5. Cut off 1 in. (2.5 cm) of the black cable sheath
from the end of the cable.
Slot
6. Reinsert the cable and the sheath into the coupler
so that all of the bare cable is in the hole.
7. Retighten the four set screws into the threaded
holes. Tighten the set screws equally until they
contact the cable. Then, tighten each screw alter-
nately 1/4 turn, until all are set to 85 inch/pounds
(9.6 Newton-meters).
8. Slide the rubber cover over the coupler, remove
the weight pin, and lower the handle.
9. Check for proper tension on the cable as described
in CABLE ADJUSTMENT on this page.
