TROUBLESHOOTING
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts immedi- ately. The weight system can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild
TIGHTENING THE CABLES
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight 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. To tighten the cables, first insert the weight pins into the centers of the weight stacks. Slack can be removed from the cables in several ways:
See drawing 1. To tighten the Squat Cable (73) or the VKR High Cable (not shown), first loosen the 1/2” Nut (118) on the end of the Cable, away from the 1/2” Washer (1). Screw the end of the Cable farther into the Weight Tube (43). Then, retighten the Nut against the Washer.
See drawing 2. To further tighten the Squat Cable (73), first remove the 3/8” Nylon Locknut (87), the 3/8" x 2" Bolt (100), Cable Trap (68), and 3 1/2” Pulley (78) from the indicated bracket on the Long Base (120). Reattach the Pulley and Cable Trap between a lower set of holes with the Bolt and Nylon Locknut.
See drawing 3. To tighten the other five cables, first remove the upper or lower 3/8” Nylon Locknut (87), 3/8” x 2” Bolt (100), 3 1/2” Pulley (78), and Cable Trap (68) from the Pulley Plates (63). Reattach the Pulley and the Cable Trap between a set of holes closer to the center of the Pulley Plates with the Bolt and Nylon Locknut.
See drawing 4. , first remove the 3/8” Nylon Locknut (87), 3/8” x 2” Bolt (100), 3 1/2” Pulley (78), and Cable Trap (68) from the
Do not overtighten the cables. If the cables are overtight- ened, the top weights will be lifted off the weight stacks.
If a cable slips off the pulleys repeatedly, it may have become twisted. Remove the cable and
