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. If any slack is felt when using the front weight stack, both the High Cable (58) and the Low Cable (23) will need to be tightened. If any slack is felt when using the rear weight stack, both the Military Press Cable (72) and the Leg Press Cable (99) will need to be tightened.

To tighten the cables, insert the weight pin into the middle of the weight stack. Slack can be removed from these cables several ways:

•See drawing 1. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2) that connects the end of the Low Cable (23) to the Long “U”- Bracket (57).

The Leg Press Cable (99) can be tightened in the same manner.

•See drawing 1. Move the 3 1/2” Pulley (15) to the other hole in one of the Long “U”-Brackets (57). Remove the 3/8” Nylon Locknut (21) and the 3/8” x 2” Bolt (12) from the Cable Trap (66), Pulley, and Long “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.

The other Long “U”-Bracket (57) can be adjusted in the same manner.

•See drawing 2. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2) that connects the end of the High Cable (58) to the Small “U”- Bracket (71).

The Military Press Cable (72) can be tightened in the same manner.

•See Drawing 3. If additional slack is felt while using the Leg Press Arm (96), then the end of the Leg Press Cable (99) must be moved to the next hole in the Rear Seat Frame (100). Remove the 5/16” x 2 3/4” Bolt (11), the 5/16” Washer (8), the end of the Cable, and both 5/16” Nylon Jam Nuts (93) from the Rear Seat Frame. Re- attach the Bolt, the Washer, the end of the Cable, and both Nylon Jam Nuts to the next hole in the Rear Seat Frame.

Do not overtighten the cables; the top weight will be lifted off the weight stack.

If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often, it 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.
