TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. 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.
Slack can be removed from the cables by tightening
the M8 Nylon Locknuts (58) at the end of the Long
Cable (47) or at the end of the Short Cable (48). To
do this you may need to remove the Small “U”-
Bracket (24) from the Weight Tube (26), or remove
the 90mm Pulley (44) from the Long “U”-Bracket (23).
Make sure that the cables are not too tight or the Top
Weight (17) will be lifted off the weight stack.
Additional slack can be removed by moving the
90mm Pulley (44) and Pulley Covers (43) attached to
the Long “U”-Bracket (23). Remove the M10 Nylon
Locknut (68) and the M10 x 52mm Bolt (65) from the
Pulley, Pulley Covers, and “U”-Bracket. Re-attach the
Pulley and Pulley Covers to the lower hole in the “U”-
Bracket with the Bolt and Locknut.
Be sure 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.
