Adjusting Cable Tension - Bowflex REVOLUTION Owner's Manual

Pay close attention to maintenance of the cable tension. Over time and with heavy use, the cables are designed
to give slightly. Located on the main engine housing is a tension control knob which allows you to increase the
tension in the cables.
Checking for problem cable tension is simple.
1. Position the adjustable swing arms in the upper most
position.
2. Check to see if clips at end of cable hang down or if they
are tight against the pulley.
3. If cables don't have enough tension, use the tension control
knob on the side of the machine to tighten the cables. (See
image below).
4. To increase tension, pull tension knob outwards and turn
the large pulley clockwise. The clip on the cable should be
touching the pulley.

Large pulley. This is what you need to turn to increase the
tension on the cable. Pull the tension knob and use your
other hand to turn the large pulley clockwise.
In this image, the cable clip extends a
few inches below the pulley, so there
is not enough tension in the cable. The
cable clip should be tight against the
pulley with appropriate tension.
