CABLE GUARDS
Check for alignment periodically to ensure that guards
are not dragging on the cable and that they are per-
forming their intended duty. If the alignment is not prop-
er, loosen the bolt slightly and readjust as necessary.

SERVICING THE WEIGHT STACK
For required parts, see HOW TO CONTACT CUS-
TOMER CARE on the back cover of this manual.
1. Remove the access cover by pulling it free at
the bottom and then sliding it up until the two
sets of tabs release.
2. Loosen the top bolt or nuts on each guide rod.
Remove the bolts or nuts and let the guide rods
slide down to the floor.
3. To remove the top weight, first unbolt the pul-
ley(s) to release the cable using a 5/16" hex
wrench and a 9/16" open-end wrench.
4. Slide the top weight off the top of the guide
rods. Note: Pull the guide rods toward the back
of the machine for increased clearance.
5. Servicing the weight stack involves replacing the
three bushings in the top weight. First, use a

6. To insert the new bushings, hold each bushing
square to the face of one of the holes in the top
weight, place a protective piece of wood on top
of the bushing, and lightly tap the bushing into
place. The bushings should be flush with the
surface. Note: There are two sizes of bushings.
The slightly larger bushing is for the single hole
in the top weight; the smaller bushings are for
the top and bottom of the cylindrical standoff.
7. Clean and lubricate the guide rods by wiping
them using a soft cloth containing automotive
engine oil. Apply only a light coating over the
entire length.
8. Replace the top weight on the guide rods. Bolt
the pulley, cable, and cable guards back into
place.
9. Reattach the guide rods to the top of the frame.
10. Insert the weight pin into the top weight. Pull the
handle, lifting the top weight all of the way to the
top. Slowly return the handle to the resting posi-
tion. If the top weight sticks, loosen one of the
guide rod bolts or nuts. Lift the top weight to the
top again. Retighten the guide rod bolt or nuts.
Check the full travel again and readjust the
guide rods if necessary.
11. While slowly pulling the handle, have someone
check the top weight pulley guard to ensure that
it is not dragging or rubbing on the cable.
12. Replace the access cover.
