1. Grips:
• Check and replace as needed.
YEARLY OR AS REQUIRED
1. Weight Stack Guide Rods:
• Clean and lubricate the full length by wiping
using a soft cloth containing a lightweight
motor oil, 10W-40 or 10W-30 weight. Only a
light coating over the entire length is needed.
Note: Do not use TEFLON
®
or silicone-
based lubricants.
CABLE TENSION CHECK
1. Insert the weight pin into the top weight plate.
2. Slowly raise and lower the top weight by normal
machine use. The top weight should come to
rest just on top of the second weight when the
leg lever is returned to the resting position.
• If there is too much tension on the cable, the
top weight will not rest on the second weight,
and it may be difficult to insert the weight pin
into the weight plates.
• If there is not enough tension on the cable, the
top weight will not be lifted immediately when
the leg lever is lifted. Ideally, the leg lever/cable
should not move more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) from
the resting position before the top weight
begins to be lifted.
3. If there is too much or not enough tension on the
cable, adjust the cable as described in CABLE
ADJUSTMENTS on page 9.
CABLE GUARDS
Check for alignment periodically to ensure that cable
guards are not rubbing on the cable and that they are
performing their intended duty. If the alignment is not
proper, loosen the bolt slightly, readjust the cable
guard as necessary, and retighten the bolt.

CAUTION:
After making any cable adjustment, use
the strength equipment to lift a few weights while
someone makes sure that the cable is not derailed
from a pulley or rubbing on a cable guard (see
CABLE GUARDS).
ADJUSTMENT
Top Weight Pulley Adjustment—
Tools required: 9/16" open or box-end
wrench/spanner, 5/16" hex key
1. Using a 5/16" hex key and a 9/16" open or box-
end wrench/spanner, loosen the nut holding the
pulley in the “U”-bracket.
2. To increase the tension, slide the pulley down in
the slot. To decrease the tension, slide the pulley
up.
3. Tighten the nut and check the tension as
described in CABLE TENSION CHECK on page
8. If necessary, readjust the pulley.
