Gold's Gym GGSY3058.0 manual Maintenance, Tightening the Cables

MAINTENANCE

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

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

See drawing 1. Remove the M10 Nylon Locknut (77) and the M10 x 50mm Bolt (97) from the Cable Trap (56), the 90mm Pulley (48), the two Half Guards (55), and the two Pulley Plates (60). Reattach the Pulley, Cable Trap, and Half Guards to the next closer hole to the center of the Pulley Plates. Make sure that the

Cable Trap is oriented to hold the cable in the groove of the Pulley, that the Half Guards are ori- ented as shown, and that the Cable and Pulley move smoothly.

See drawing 2. Loosen the M12 Nut (112) on the Lat Cable (49). Tighten the Cable into the Weight Selector (not shown) until the slack is removed from the Cable. Retighten the M12 Nut against the M12 Large Washer (98).

Do not overtighten the cables. If the cables are overtightened, 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 the part ordering information on the back cover of this manual.
