TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time you use the weight system. Replace any worn parts immedi-
ately. The weight system can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
TIGHTENING THE CABLES
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight 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. If any slack is felt when using the
front weight stack, both the High Cable (58) and the Low Cable (23) will need to be tightened. If any slack is felt
when using the rear weight stack, both the Military Press Cable (72) and the Leg Press Cable (99) will need to
be tightened.
To tighten the cables, insert the weight pin into the middle of
the weight stack. Slack can be removed from these cables
several ways:
•
See drawing 1. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2) that
connects the end of the Low Cable (23) to the Long “U”-
Bracket (57).
The Leg Press Cable (99) can be tightened in the same
manner.
•
See drawing 1. Remove the 3/8” Nylon Locknut (21) and
the 3/8” x 2” Bolt (12) from the Cable Trap (66), the 3 1/2”
Pulley (15), and the Long “U”-Bracket (57). Re-attach the
Pulley and Cable Trap to the other hole in the Long “U”-
Bracket with the Bolt and Locknut.
Be sure that the
Cable Trap is in the proper position and that the
Cable and Pulley move smoothly.
The other Long “U”-Bracket (57) can be adjusted in the
same manner.
•
See drawing 2. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2) that
connects the end of the High Cable (58) to the Small “U”-
Bracket (71).
The Military Press Cable (72) can be tightened in the
same manner.
•
See Drawing 3. If additional slack is felt while using the
Leg Press Arm (96), then the end of the Leg Press Cable
(99) must be moved to the next hole in the Rear Seat
Frame (100). Remove the 5/16” x 2 3/4” Bolt (11), the
5/16” Washer (8), the end of the Cable, and both 5/16”
Nylon Jamnuts (93) from the Rear Seat Frame. Re-attach
the Bolt, the Washer, the end of the Cable, and both
Nylon Jamnuts to the next hole in the Rear Seat Frame.
Do not overtighten the cables. The top weight will be lifted off the weight stack. If a cable tends to slip off
the pulleys often, it 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.
