Although Body-Solid provides the highest quality of materials and
workmanship in its products, the fact remains that component parts eventually wear
out over time and with use.
This is particularly true with reference to pliable
moving parts such as cables.
In spite of any expressed and/or implied warranties,
intervening factors such as improper use, unusually heavy use, improper installation,
improper alignment, poor maintenance, etc. serve to drastically reduce the usable
life and safety of cables.
Be advised that dangerous conditions can arise even during warranty
periods and that any expressed and/or implied warranties

the
owner’s responsibility to thoroughly, carefully and daily inspect all cables on this
machine.
Serious injury can occur if you are struck by falling weights or moving parts.
The risk that you assume by using this type of equipment can be reduced by
following a few simple steps:
Cable inspection should be performed daily.
Inspect all cables, the
nylon coating on all cables and the area near the fittings at each end of each cable.
Replace any damaged or worn cables immediately.
Do not allow the machine to
be used until damaged or worn cables are replaced.
Important:
Cables are wear items. It is your responsibility to prevent
unexpected breakage. The actual wire strands, the fittings and the nylon coating
itself must all be scrutinized. Using or allowing a machine to be used with a suspect
cable can result in serious injury.
The nylon coating on a cable is essential for cable life and safety. Visually
inspect all cables and pulleys. Look at the cables as they travel around the cams
and pulleys. A cable that is wearing may exhibit a “ballooned” or broken coating in
the area that passes over the pulley. Damage to the coating is an early warning
signal. A cable should be replaced if the nylon coating is missing, is damaged in
anyway, has pulled or shrunk from the fittings at the end of the cables, or if it is
discolored. Discoloration of the cable coating is an early indication of internal
problems such as wear or fraying.
Annual cable replacement (semiannual in multi-user settings) is strongly
recommended as an additional precaution. The rate at which cables wear depends
on many factors including: number of users, number of repetitions, weight setting,
misuse, abuse, etc. Because of this, periodic cable replacement is not a sufficient
safeguard against unexpected breakage.
Nothing short of a thorough, careful, daily inspection constitutes an
adequate safety program.
