Treadmill 10 and 22: Tips for detaching the Deck Release Cable
Overview:This procedure is used tohelp detach the Deck Release Cable from the Lift Shock on the Treadmill 10 and 22.
Tools used in this guide:10mm, 13mm, and 14mm wrenches, 6mm Allen wrench
Estimated time to complete: 5 to 10 minutes
Let's get started!
Note: This guide is intended to assist the Replace the Lift Shock service manual procedure.
The plunger on the endof the cable can sometimes become pinched by the force of the shock, making it difficult to
remove. There are two ways we can relieve this pressure to allow the cable to be removed fully:
Fully extend the lift shock during removal
Remove the lift shock end bolt
Please see the service manual for a full list of tools required for the replacement
The tools listed here are for assistance removing the deck release cable only.

1. To fully extend the lift shock, both lift shock end bolts should be securely attached.
If the end bolt(s) were removed during an earlier step of the replacement procedure,
please reinstall them using a 13mm wrench and 6mm Allen wrench, then continue to
the steps below.
2. Using the deck handle, lift up on the deck to fully extend the lift shock.
3. Remove the release cable:
Use a 10mm wrench to loosen the locking nut on the release cable.
Use a 14mm wrench to disconnect the securing nut on the release cable.
While keeping the deck lifted/lift shock fully extended, there should be less force
being applied to the deck release cable. Pull on the deck release cable to detach it
from the shock assembly.
