Using Cable Station hand Grips:

These handgrips can be used as regular grips, 

hand cuffs or ankle cuffs and can be placed 

over the shoulders for aid in resisted crunch and 

oblique exercises.

regular Grip:

Grasp the handle and cuff together to form a grip 

without inserting your hand through the cuff 

portion. Most of the exercises you perform utilize 

this grip.

hand Cuff Grip:

Slip your hand through the cuff portion of the grip so that

the foam pad rests on the back of your hand. Then grasp

the remainder of the grip that is sitting in your palm. This

method of gripping is great for exercises like front 

shoulder raises or any exercise where your palm is 

facing down.

Ankle Cuff Grip:

The cuff opening can be made larger to accommodate 

the ankle. Simply insert your hand in the cuff and slide it

away from the handle. Insert your foot or ankle and

tighten the grip by sliding the handle back toward the 

cuff.

pulleys are in good condition and operating smoothly. If cable appears to have any damage,

sweat with a clean, dry cloth. Upholstery can be cleaned with a mild detergent or spray cleaner. 

DO NOT clean the upholstry with cleansers that contain enzymes.

Weekly – 

If used often, your machine should be thoroughly cleaned using a clean cloth and an 

ammonia-based cleaner. Wipe machine down completely and be sure to touch up any scratches 

with touch-up paint to prevent rusting.

Twice Yearly–

 To keep your machine operating smoothly and looking good for many years to 

come, you want to clean and lubricate the machine’s Guide Rods. To do this, remove the weight 

shrouds using a 9/16” socket or wrench. Clean the long chrome rods thoroughly using a clean 

cloth and ammonia cleaner. Wipe rods completely dry. Spray a generous amount of silicon

lubricant on the rods.
