CHAPTER 4: CARE & MAINTENANCE
CABLE INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE (continued):
Cable Tension:
Ensure that the cables are adjusted to remove any slack using the threaded end fittings. These are normally located at the
weight stack connection. Depending upon the machine, there may be multiple threaded fitting on multiple cables. You
can determine if there is too much slack by performing the exercise. As you start to move a load arm or handle, the weight
stack should lift immediately. If not, the cable tension needs to be adjusted.
To adjust the cable tension, loosen the cable nut
that is located on the cable bolt connected to the
top plate. Tighten the cable bolt until the top plate
is barely lifted off of the first weight plate and then
re-tighten the cable nut.
CAUTION:
A minimum of 1/2 inch (12.7mm) of the threaded
portion of the cable bolt must be threaded into the
top plate.
*No more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) of the threaded
portion of the cable bolt should be visible.
Handle Fittings (if applicable):
Inspect the cable fittings where any handles are
attached to the end of the cable. The fittings supplied
with this machine are load rated snap-links. Ensure
that the snap-link opens and closes easily and is fully
engaged when closed. Replace the snap-link as
needed.
