TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the home gym system. Replace any worn parts immediately. The

home gym system can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.

TIGHTENING THE CABLES

Woven cable, the type of cable used on the home

gym system, can stretch slightly when it is first used.

If there is slack in the cables before resistance is felt,

the cables should be tightened. Slack can be

removed from the cables by tightening the 1/4” Nylon

Locknuts (2) at the end of the Long Cable (23) (see

drawing 1) and at the end of the Short Cable (58)

(see drawing 2). To do this you may need to remove

the Small “U”-Bracket (67) from the Weight Tube (not

shown) or remove the 3 1/2” Pulley (15) from the

Long “U”-Bracket (57). Make sure that the cables are

not too tight or the Top Weight (76) will be lifted off

the weight stack.

Additional slack can be removed by moving the 3 1/2”

Pulley (15) to the other hole in the Long “U”-Bracket

(57). Remove the 3/8” Nylon Locknut (21) and the

3/8” x 2” Bolt (12) from the Cable Trap (66), Pulley,

and “U”-Bracket. Re-attach the Pulley and Cable Trap.

Be sure that the Cable trap is in the proper position

and that the Cable and Pulley move smoothly.

Note: If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often,

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 the back cover of this

manual.
