Before Installing the Cable Hooks (Step 17), make sure the Cables are properly tensioned
according to the following procedure . If there is slack in the Cables, the Support Plate Bolts
could cause interference.
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 incorrect 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).
4. To increase tension, pull tension knob outward and turn the large pulley clockwise. The clip on
the cable should be touching the pulley.
There are tension knobs on each side of the machine. To increase
cable tension, pull knob and turn the large pulley clockwise. You'll
know when you have enough tension when the cable retracts and
the cable clip touches the pulley.
