Step 8
a. The Cables should be tightened to the point just before the Top Plate lifts off the stack. In
other words, if the Top Plate is not resting on the stack, you will need to add length, or, if there
is slack in the cables, you will need to shorten the cables. There are several adjustment
points. If only minor adjustments need to be made, you can adjust the Screw ends on the Top
Cable (at the Top Plate), the Low Cable (where it screws into the Single Pulley Block), or the
Bench Press cable (where it screws into the Single Pulley Block with Stopper). These ends
of these cables must be screwed in at least 1/3 of their length for safety purposes.
Once you are done with these adjustments, lock them into place using the jam nuts.
b. Broader adjustments are made at the Floating Pulley Block (24). Moving the bottom pulley
toward the center decreases length (takes up slack). Conversely, moving the bottom pulley
outward gains cable length.
c. Once the cables have been adjusted to remove all slack, adjust the Adjustable Stoppers (87)
in the Top Frame to where they just touch the Floating Pulley Block (24), and the Single Pulley
with Stopper (87). The Adjustable Stoppers (87) aid in the function of the gym by eliminating
the need to engage all cables in any given exercise routine.
