Safety and Maintenance of Cables

Although Body-Solid provides the highest quality of materials and

workmanship in its products, the fact remains that component parts eventually wear out over time and with use. This is particularly true with reference to pliable moving parts such as cables. In spite of any expressed and/or implied warranties, intervening factors such as improper use, unusually heavy use, improper installation, improper alignment, poor maintenance, etc. serve to drastically reduce the usable life and safety of cables.

Be advised that dangerous conditions can arise even during warranty periods and that any expressed and/or implied warranties Do Not Negate the owner’s responsibility to thoroughly, carefully and daily inspect all cables on this machine.

Serious injury can occur if you are struck by falling weights or moving parts. The risk that you assume by using this type of equipment can be reduced by following a few simple steps:

Cable inspection should be performed daily. Inspect all cables, the nylon coating on all cables and the area near the fittings at each end of each cable. Replace any damaged or worn cables immediately. Do not allow the machine to be used until damaged or worn cables are replaced.

Important: Cables are wear items. It is your responsibility to prevent unexpected breakage. The actual wire strands, the fittings and the nylon coating itself must all be scrutinized. Using or allowing a machine to be used with a suspect cable can result in serious injury.

The nylon coating on a cable is essential for cable life and safety. Visually inspect all cables and pulleys. Look at the cables as they travel around the cams and pulleys. A cable that is wearing may exhibit a “ballooned” or broken coating in the area that passes over the pulley. Damage to the coating is an early warning signal. A cable should be replaced if the nylon coating is missing, is damaged in anyway, has pulled or shrunk from the fittings at the end of the cables, or if it is discolored. Discoloration of the cable coating is an early indication of internal problems such as wear or fraying.

Annual cable replacement (semiannual in multi-user settings) is strongly recommended as an additional precaution. The rate at which cables wear depends on many factors including: number of users, number of repetitions, weight setting, misuse, abuse, etc. Because of this, periodic cable replacement is not a sufficient safeguard against unexpected breakage.

Nothing short of a thorough, careful, daily inspection constitutes an adequate safety program.
