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 using common sense and following a few
simple steps.
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 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 for
fraying, cracking, peeling or discoloration. Look
at the cables as they travel around the cams and
pulleys. While the machine is not in use, carefully
run your fingers along the cable to feel for thinning
or bulging areas. A cable that is wearing will ex-
hibit a “ballooned” or broken coating in that area.
Damage to the coating is an early warning signal.
A cable should be replaced if the nylon coating
is missing, is damaged in any way, 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.
