Cable adjustment: Before the machine is being used,
the cable adjustment should always be checked.
The cables can be checked by activating the handles
fully and check if the cable is tight. If not, it must be
tightened. If the handle cannot easily be fully activated,
the cable should be loosened.
After first season, it must be expected that the cables
need to be adjusted for optimal activation, as cables
can stretch when used.
