INSTALLING THE CABLES The SM41 uses four cables. There are two different types of cable used on the SM41. They are: 1. Crossover cables (ball end cables) (2). 2. Lat pulldown and tricep cables (2). The lat and tricep cables can be identified by their short length and the adjustable crossover cables can be identified by the ball on the end of the cable.
