Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts imme-
diately. The weight system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a 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. To tighten the cables, first insert the
weight pin into the middle of the weight stack. Slack can be removed from these cables several ways:

•

See drawing 1 inset. Tighten the M8 Nylon
Locknut (58) that connects the end of the Low
Cable (53) to the “U”-bracket (45).

•

See drawing 1. Remove the M10 Nylon Locknut
(56) and the M10 x 51mm Bolt (66) from the
Cable Trap (51), 90mm Pulley (48), the two Half
Finger Guards (43), and “U”-bracket (45).
Reattach the Pulley, Cable Trap, and Finger
Guards to the other hole in the “U”-bracket.

Make

sure that the Cable Trap is in the proper posi-
tion and that the Cable and Pulley move
smoothly.

•

See drawing 2. Loosen the M12 Nut (84) on the
High Cable (55). Tighten the High Cable into the
Weight Tube (24) until the slack is removed from
the Cable. Retighten the M12 Nut against the
Large Washer (85).

Do not overtighten the cables. If the cables are overtightened, 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. If the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of
this manual.
