Cable Traps
Check the cable traps to ensure that they are not rub-
bing against the cable and that they are holding the
cable in the grooves of the pulleys. If the cable trap is
not correctly aligned, loosen the bolt slightly, readjust
the cable trap as necessary, and retighten the bolt.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Grips
Check the grips and replace them if needed.
WEIGHT GUIDE LUBRICATION
Clean and lubricate the full length of each weight
guide by wiping it with a soft cloth containing a light-
weight motor oil, 10W-40 or 10W-30 weight. Apply
only a light coating over the entire length of the
weight guide.
Do not use TEFLON
®
-based lubri-
cants.
CABLE ADJUSTMENT
For the strength equipment to function correctly, the
cable must be tensioned correctly. To check the ten-
sion of the cable, insert the weight pin into the top
weight. Next, slowly raise and lower the top weight by
performing one repetition. The top weight should
come to rest just on top of the next weight when the
repetition is completed.
If there is too much tension on the cable, the top
weight will not rest on the next weight, and it may be
difficult to insert the weight pin into the weights. If
there is not enough tension on the cable, the top
weight will not be lifted immediately when the repeti-
tion is begun. Ideally, the cable should not move more
than 1/2 in. (1.3 cm) from the resting position before
the top weight is lifted.
If there is too much tension or not enough tension on
the cable, adjust the cable as described in the follow-
ing steps.
Tower Pulley Adjustment
Tools required: 5/16" hex key, 9/16" open-end wrench
1. Lift the top weight off the
weight stack and insert the
weight pin into the next
weight and the sixth hole
from the top of the weight
selector.
2. Loosen the locknut attach-
ing the pulley to the bracket
in the top of the tower.
3. Move the pulley to the appropriate location in the
bracket. If more slack is needed in the cable,
move the pulley downward. If less slack is needed
in the cable, move the pulley upward.
4. Make sure that the cable trap is properly oriented
(see CABLE TRAPS at the left) and retighten the
locknut attaching the pulley to the bracket.
5. Lift the top weight and remove the weight pin.
Lower the top weight onto the weight stack.
6. Readjust as necessary.
7. Slowly perform a repetition using a light load and
have someone make sure that the cable is not
derailed from a pulley or rubbing on a cable trap.
