WEEKLY
1. Hardware:
• Check all nuts and bolts. Tighten them as
required.
2. Cables:
• Check all cables for proper tension.
• Check the entire length of the cable by pulling
each handle individually to its fully extended
position and inspecting the cable that is
exposed on the exterior of the machine, as well
as the cable inside the cut stack tower.
• Run your fingers along the cable, paying close
attention to the bends and attachment points.
• Watch for the following conditions, which may
indicate a worn cable in need of replacement:
A.Torn or split cable sheath that exposes the
cable
B.Kinked or severely bent cable
C.Curled or twisted sheath
D.Stretched cable sheath, showing a thinning
cross-section
MONTHLY OR AS REQUIRED
1. Grips:
• Check and replace as needed.
2. Weight stack guide rods:
• Clean and lubricate the guide rods by wiping
them with a soft cloth containing a light weight
motor oil, 10/40 or straight 30 weight. Apply only
a light coating over the entire length. 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 handle
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
one of the handles is pulled. Ideally, the han-
dle/cable should not move more than 1.5 cm
(1/2 in.) 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
Periodically check the alignment of the cable guards to
ensure that they are not dragging on the cable and
that they are performing their intended function. If the
cable guards are not aligned correctly, loosen the bolts
slightly and adjust the cable guards as necessary.
