TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE 

Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the home gym. Replace any worn parts immediately. The home
gym 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 home gym, can stretch slightly when it is first used. If there is slack
in the cables before resistance is felt, the cables should be tightened. 

Slack can be removed from the Short Cable (23) by
by tightening the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2) at the end of
the Cable. 

Additional slack can be removed by moving the 3 1/2”
Pulley (15) to the other hole in the Long “U”-Bracket
(57). Remove the 3/8” Nylon Locknut (21) and the
3/8” x 2” Bolt (12) from the Cable Trap (66), the
Pulley, and the “U”-Bracket. Re-attach the Pulley and
the Cable Trap to the other hole in the “U”-Bracket.
Make 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, the
cable may have become twisted. Remove the
cable and re-install it. If a cable needs to be
replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS
on the back cover of this manual.
