Adjusting the Cable Tension
To adjust the cable tension:
1. Insert the cable bolt into the selector stem until the cable meets the
following requirements:
No excess slack remains.
The cable is just loose enough to permit insertion of the selector pin
into each of the weight plates.
At least seven (7) threads on the cable bolt extend into the selector
stem.
2. Tighten the locking jam nut against the selector stem to 600 in-lb (68
N-m) of torque.
3. Check the adjustment by inserting the weight pin into every weight plate
hole. The weight pin should slide easily in and out of each weight plate.
4. Check cable pulleys, end connections, and end fittings. Make sure all
connections are tight, adjusting cable tension as necessary.
5. Make sure the cable bolt is threaded at least seven threads (turns). The
distance from the underside of the bolt head to the top of the weight
selector stem should be no more than 1¹₄-inch (32 mm). Refer to the
following figure.
