5. Cable Handling Guide

Cable Connections, Seating, and Installation

Cable Connections with threaded cable ends are required to be installed and maintained following the specifications
identified below. Failure to follow these specifications can lead to the dislocation of the threaded cable during use and
can cause serious injury. Along with securing the threaded cable end and jam nut, it is important to check the entire
unit and ensure that all hardware is securely fastened and not left loose upon completion of cable installation.

WARNING: Use of non certified “techs” note: Service warranties may be void if a non-

Life Fitness

-certified

technician performs service work. Replacement of any strength cables should be performed by a 

Life Fitness

certified technician.
