6.2. THE WEIGHT STACK CABLE IS NOT TAUT
This problem is due to lengthening of the weight stack cable. Therefore, to solve the problem you
must use the cable tension adjustment system.
If the cable is new, before adjusting its tension, it is necessary to do a few reps at
maximum load to “stretch” the cable itself.
Figure 6.2-1
1. Set the minimum weight: the only selected
weight will be the cross.
2. Loosen the counter-nut (a) using a 22-gauge
wrench.
3. Tighten the screw (b) at the end of the cable
so that the cable is taut and the cross raised.
4. Slowly loosen the screw (b) until the cable is
still taut, but the cross is resting on the
weight stack.
5. Tighten the counter-nut (a) using a 22-gauge
wrench.
Check the right tension of the cable,
making sure all the weight stack plates
are selecting by the weight stack pin.
Check the tension of the cable by carrying out a couple of repetitions with the minimum
weight, and then slowly resting the cross on the weight stack. The cross must rest firmly
on the weight stack, and the cable must be slightly taut.
