Tightening the Cables
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the home gym
system, can stretch slightly when it is first used. If there is
slack in the Cables before resistance is felt, the Cables
should be tightened. Insert the Weight Pin (26) under one
of the indicated Weights (25). Slack can be removed from
the Cables by tightening the 1/4” Nylon Locknuts (2) at
the end of the Short Cable (23) (see drawing 1) and at
the end of the Long Cable (58) (see drawing 2). To do this
you may need to remove the Small “U”-Bracket (67) from
the Weight Tube (not shown) or remove the 3 1/2” Pulley
(15) from the Long “U”-Bracket (57). Make sure that the
Cables are not too tight or the Top Weight (76) will be lift-
ed off the weight stack.
Additional slack can be removed by moving the 3 1/2”
Pulley (15) to the other hole in the “I”-Brackets (81) as
shown in the upper inset drawing. Remove the 3/8” Nylon
Locknut (21) and the 3/8” x 2” Bolt (12) from the Cable
Trap (66), Pulley and “U”-Bracket. Re-attach the Pulley
and Cable Trap. Be sure that the Cable trap is in the
proper position and that the Cable and Pulley move
smoothly.
Slack can also be removed by moving the 3 1/2” Pulley
(15) to the other hole in the Long “U”-Bracket (57) as
shown in the lower inset drawing. Remove the 3/8” Nylon
Locknut (21) and the 3/8” x 2” Bolt (12) from the Cable
Trap (66), Pulley and “U”-Bracket. Re-attach the Pulley
and Cable Trap. Be sure that the Cable trap is in the
proper position and that the Cable and Pulley move
smoothly.
Note: If a Cable tends to slip off the Pulleys often, the
Cable may have become twisted. Remove the Cable
and re-install it.
If the Cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual.
