MAINTENANCE

Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the weight bench is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent; do not use solvents to clean the weight bench.

TIGHTENING THE CABLES

Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight bench, can stretch slightly when it is first used. If there is slack in the cables before resistance is felt, the cables should be tightened. See ADDING WEIGHTS TO THE WEIGHT CARRIAGE in the ADJUSTMENT section of this manual. Add some weights to the weight carriage. Slack can be removed from the cables several ways:

Remove the M10 Nylon Locknut (153) and the M10 x 48mm Bolt (125) from the two Half Pulley Guards (91), the Small Cable Trap (93), and the Small Pulley

(74)near the lower end of the two Pulley Plates (92). Reattach the Small Pulley, Cable Trap, and Half Pulley Guards to a hole closer to the center of the Pulley Plates. Make sure that the Cable Trap is in the proper position and that the Cable and Pulley move smoothly.

If necessary, adjust the position of the Pulley (74) near the upper end of the Pulley Plates (92) in the same way.

Do not overtighten the cables. If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often, it may have become twisted. Remove the cable and re-install it. If a cable needs to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS

on the back cover of this manual.
