WEEKLY
1. Hardware:
• Check all nuts and bolts. Tighten them as
required.
2. Cables:
• Check all cables for proper tension.
• Check the entire length of the cable by pulling
each handle individually to its fully extended
position and inspecting the cable that is
exposed on the exterior of the machine, as well
as the cable inside of the cut stack tower.
• Run your fingers along the cable, paying close
attention at the bends and attachment points.
• Watch for the following conditions, which may
indicate a worn cable in need of replacement:
A. Torn or split cable sheath that exposes the
cable
B. Kinked or severely bent cable
C.Curled or twisted sheath
D.Stretched cable sheath, showing a thinning
cross-section

MONTHLY OR AS REQUIRED
1. Grips:
• Check and replace as needed.
2. Weight stack guide rods:
• Clean and lubricate the full length by wiping
using a soft cloth containing automotive engine
oil. Only a light coating over the entire length is
needed.
CABLE TENSION CHECK
1. Insert the weight pin into the top weight plate.
2. Slowly raise and lower the top weight by normal
machine use. The top weight should come to rest
just on top of the second weight when the handle
is returned to the resting position.
• If there is too much tension on the cable, the top
weight will not rest on the second weight, and it
may be difficult to insert the weight pin into the
weight plates.
• If there is not enough tension on the cable, the
top weight will not be lifted immediately when
one of the handles is pulled. Ideally, the han-
dle/cable should not move more than 1/2" from
the resting position before the top weight begins
to be lifted.
3. If there is too much or not enough tension on the
cable, adjust the cable as described in CABLE
ADJUSTMENTS, on page 9.
