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 sol-
vents.
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 centre of the weight stack. Slack can be removed from the cables in several ways:
See drawing 1. Tighten the M8 Nylon Locknut (3) that
connects the end of the High Cable (23) to the “U”-
bracket (57).
See drawing 2. Remove the M10 x 52mm Bolt (12)
and the M10 Nylon Locknut (21) from the lower 90mm
Pulley (15), the Pulley Covers (40), and the Pulley
Plates (58). Reattach the Pulley and Pulley Covers to a
higher set of holes in the Pulley Plates with the Bolt and
Nylon Locknut. Be sure that the cable and Pulley move
smoothly. The upper 90mm Pulley and Pulley Covers
can be moved down in the same manner.
See Drawing 3. Remove the M10 x 80mm Bolt (8), the
two M10 Washers (9), and the M10 Nylon Locknut (21)
from the Front Upright (42), the “V”-Pulley (6), and the
Long Cable Trap (50). Move the Pulley to a hole that is
closer to the Front Upright, one hole at a time, until the
slack is removed. Reattach the Pulley and the Cable
Trap with the Bolt, Washers, and Nylon Locknut.
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.
