INSTALLING THE CABLES The SM30 uses three cables. There are two different types of cable used on the SM30. They are: 1. Adjustable cable (ball end cable) (1). 2. Lat pulldown and tricep cables (2). The lat and tricep cables can be identified by their short length and the adjustable cable can be identified by the ball on the end of the cable.
