Maintenance; Tightening The Cables - Gold's Gym GR 7000 GGBE6974.1 User Manual

MAINTENANCE

Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight bench is used. Replace any worn parts immediate-
ly. The weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent; do not use solvents.

TIGHTENING THE CABLES

Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight bench, can stretch slightly when it is first used. If there is
slack in the cables before resistance is felt, the cables should be tightened. Make sure that the cables are not
too tight, or the weight carriage will be lifted. Slack can be removed in the following ways.
Remove the M10 x 53mm Button Bolt (147) and the
M10 Nylon Locknut (79) attaching the lower 90mm
Pulley (58), the Small Cable Trap (63), and the Half
Finger Guards (40) to the Pulley Plates (74). Reattach
the Pulley, Small Cable Trap, and Half Finger Guards
to the next higher set of holes in the Pulley Plates with
the Button Bolt and Nylon Locknuts. Repeat until the
cables are tight.
To loosen the cables, move the 90mm Pulley (58) to a
lower hole in the Pulley Plates (74).
Remove the M10 x 53mm Button Bolt (147) and the
M10 Nylon Locknut (79) attaching the 90mm Pulley
(58), the Small Cable Trap (63), and two Half Finger
Guards (40) to a "U"-bracket (47). Reattach the Pulley,
Small Cable Trap, and Half Finger Guards to the high-
er set of holes in the "U"-bracket with the Bolt and
Nylon Locknut.
Tighten the M6 Nylon Locknut (80) and the M6 Washer
(86) onto the Low Cable (72) two complete turns.
Additional slack can be removed from the cables by
tightening a cable into the M6 Nylon Locknut (80)
inside of a Clip (53). To do this, pull the Clip Cover
(52) back and use a pair of pliers or a screwdriver to
tighten the Nylon Locknut. Then,replace the Clip
Cover.
Do not overtighten the cables. If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often, the cable may have become
twisted. Remove the cable and re-install it. If a cable needs to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT
PARTS on the back cover of this manual.
