6. WHAT IF …
6.1. THE WEIGHT STACK DOES NOT SLIDE SMOOTHLY
This problem is due to insufficient lubrication of the bars or grime build-up from a mixture of dust
and oil. Clean and lubricate as illustrated below:
ATTENTION: When the bars and bushings are particularly dirty, if the only cross or at
most the first plate is selected, it is possible that these can not lay down on the weight
stack. In this case you must clean and lubricate the bars and the internal side of the
bushes.
Figure 6.1-1
1. Use a paper towel slightly dampened with
ethyl alcohol to clean the weight stack bars
of the machine, removing dust and grime.
2. Reassemble the cross and add a few drops of
the oil found in the service box to the cross
bushings as shown in the photo below.
3. Move the cross up and down, making sure to
distribute the oil evenly along the full length
of the bars.
4. Dry excess oil from the bushings with a dry
cloth.
ATTENTION: Do not use too much oil,
and dry all excess thoroughly since too
much oil could cause more dust to build
up.
