Some common complaints may include:
Ropes are twisted or tangled
Ropes slip or catch during use
Ropes don't pull out properly
Ropes don't retract properly
Follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue
Tools you may need:
Phillips head screwdriver
Flathead screwdriver
6mm hex/Allen wrench, or the wrench from the
hardware card included with your machine
1.
If the ropes are slipping or catching during use, check if it is happening on both sides or if it is isolated to one
side. It is typical for it to happen on both sides if one side is pulled faster than the other. The slower rope will
have to catch up with the other and it causes a slipping feeling [13325.C].
2.
If the issue is isolated to one side, check if the ropes fully retract. If they are not fully retracting, determine if
one side seems to have no resistance or slips and then catches, becoming harder to pull. If this occurs, it may
be an issue with the one-way bearing in your machine.
3.
If the ropes work normally but sometimes get stuck,
pair will be for the top set and the second for the bottom set. The middle set does not need to be replaced.
4.
If your ropes are also twisted (reference 1), please
untwist the ropes.
