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.
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 lift immediately when the leg
lever is lifted. Ideally, the leg lever/cable should
not move more than 1,3 cm (1/2 in.) from the
resting position before the top weight begins to
lift.
3. If there is too much or not enough tension on
the cable, adjust the cable as described in
CABLE ADJUSTMENTS on page 10.
