Pro-Form 825 - Troubleshooting and Maintenance; Tightening the Cables

19
TIGHTENING THE CABLES
W
oven cable, the type of cable used on the training sys-
tem, 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 (39)
between the third and fourth weight from the top. See
CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING on page 17 for
instructions.
Loosen the 1/2” Plain Nut (68) securing the bolt at the
end of the High Cable (73). Tighten the bolt about two
turns into the Weight Tube (36) until the cables feel
tighter. Retighten the Plain Nut to prevent the bolt from
turning.
Note: This drawing shows the shroud removed for clarity.
The shroud does not have to be removed to tighten the
cables.
Additional slack can be removed by moving the lower of
the two Pulleys (35) attached to the Pulley Plates (31) to
one of the other adjustment holes in the Pulley Plates. To
do this, remove the 3/8” x 1 3/4” Bolt (60), the Cable Trap
(44), and the 3/8” Nylon Jamnut (63). Move the Pulley
and re-attach it with the Bolt, Cable Trap, and Locknut.
Make sure that the Low Cable (72) is in the groove of
the Pulley and that the Cable Trap is positioned as
shown.
Note: If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys, the cable
may have become twisted. Remove the cable and re-
install it.
If the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on page 2 of this manual.

Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the training system. Replace any worn parts immediately. The
training system can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
