Step 14: Lubrication and Cable Tensioning
Perform this step as the final check.
Refer to Figure 20:
Lubrication
14-1 Lubricate the guide rods using a silicone based
lubricant.
14-2 Carefully inspect all cables and insure that they
are properly seated on the pulleys and that they
pass between the pulleys and cable retainers.
14-3 Make sure all hardware is securely tightened.
Cable Tensioning
14-4 The cables should be as tight as possible while still
allowing the selector pin to freely engage all of
the weights.
14-5 Once the cables are tensioned, load the weight
stack with as much weight as you feel comfortable
with, and pull each cable several times to set and
stretch the cables.
14-6 After the cables are stretched, they may need to
be re-tensioned.
14-7 Over time, the cables may stretch and need to be
re-tensioned.
When cables are properly tensioned, the ball stop
should rest within 1/4” of the Dual Pulley System and
the top weight should sit flush. If the cable is loose
(more than a 1/4” of play), move the bottom tension
nut up the bolt. Next, screw the bolt further down into
the weight stack. If the cable is too tight, unscrew the
bolt from the Weight Stack. Finish by retightening the
bottom tension nut. Make sure to follow the guidelines
above regarding thread engagement.
