CABLE ADJUSTMENT
For the strength equipment to function correctly, the
cables must be tensioned correctly. To check the
tension of the cables, first insert the weight pin into
the weight carriage. Next, slowly raise and lower the
weight carriage by performing one repetition. The
weight carriage should come to rest just on top of the
next weight when the repetition is completed.
If there is not enough tension on the cables, the weight
carriage 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 weight carriage is lifted. If there is not enough ten-
sion on a cable, adjust the cables as described in the
following steps.
Short Cable Adjustment
Tools required: 1/8" hex key, cable cutters, torque
wrench, utility knife
IMPORTANT: Make this adjustment only if there is
slack in the short cable. This adjustment is only for
increasing the cable tension, because it requires
shortening the cable.
1. To create slack in the short cable, remove the
weight pin, pull the handle out several inches,
and then insert the weight pin into the third weight
and into the hole in the lower end of the weight
carriage.
2. Push the cable stop off the cable end and slide the
cable stop upward onto the cable as shown.

3. Loosen the four set screws in the cable end, and
pull out the end of the cable. Note: The drawing
shows the set screws removed; however, it is not
necessary to remove the set screws.
4. Using cable cutters, cut off one inch of the end of
the cable. IMPORTANT: Other tools may flatten
or bend the cable strands so that it may be dif-
ficult for you to reinsert the cable into the cable
end.
5. Cut off one inch of the black sheath from the end of
the cable.
6. Reinsert the cable and the sheath into the cable
end so that all of the bare cable is in the hole.
7. Retighten the four set screws equally until they
contact the cable. Then, tighten each set screw
alternately 1/4 turn, until all are set to 85 inch/
pounds (9.6 Newton-meters).
8. Slide the cable stop onto the cable end, remove the
weight pin, and lower the handle.
9. Check for proper tension on the cable as described
in CABLE ADJUSTMENT at the left.
