TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the home gym system. Replace any worn parts immediately. The
home gym 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 home gym 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
weight stack closest to the ab upright, both the High Cable (86) and the Rear Cable (87) will need to be tight-
ened. If any slack is felt when using the other weight stack, the Press Cable (88) and Low Cable (89) will need
to be tightened.
To tighten the cables, first insert the weight pin into the mid-
dle of the weight stack. Slack can be removed from these
cables several ways:
•
See drawing 1. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (44) that
connects the end of the Press Cable (88) to the Large “U”
Bracket (84).
•
See drawing 1. Remove the 3/8” Nylon Locknut (42) and
the 3/8” x 2” Bolt (50) from the Cable Trap (80), 3 1/2”
Pulley (82) and Large “U” Bracket (84). Re-attach the
Pulley and Cable Trap to the other hole in the Large “U”
Bracket. Be sure that the Cable Trap is in the proper
position and that the Cable and Pulley move smoothly.
•
See drawing 2. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (44) that
connects the end of the High Cable (86) to the Small “U”
Bracket (32).
The Low Cable (89) can be tightened in the same man-
ner.
•
See Drawing 3. If you feel additional slack while using the
home gym system, the Rear Cable (87) and the Press
Cable (88) can be tightened further.
Remove the 3/8” x 2” Bolts (50), the 3/8” Nylon Locknuts
(42), the 3 1/2” Pulleys (82), and the Cable Traps (80)
from the Pulley Plates (31). Reattach the High Pulley
without the Cable Trap. Reattach the Low Pulley to the
higher hole in the Pulley Plates without the Cable Trap.
Keep the Cable Traps for future use. Be sure that the
Cable and Pulley move smoothly.
Do not overtighten the cables. If the cables are overtight-
ened, 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.
All cables should be replaced every two years. When the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual.
