Gold's Gym GGSY69530 manual Troubleshooting, Tightening the Cables

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 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 pins into the centers of the weight stacks. Slack can be removed from the cables in several ways:

See drawing 1. Remove an M10 Nylon Locknut (75), M10 x 48mm Bolt (23), 90mm Pulley (38), and Cable Trap (37) from the Double “U”-bracket (41). Reattach the Pulley and the Cable Trap between a set of holes closer to the center of the “U”-bracket with the Bolt and Locknut. Make sure the Cable Trap is turned to hold the Cable in the groove of the Pulley.

Adjust the 90mm Pulleys (38) attached to the two Pulley Plates (36 [not shown]) in the same man- ner.

See drawing 2. To tighten the Long Cable (62) or the Low Cable (63), loosen the M12 Nut (80) away from the 50mm Washer (59). Screw the Cable into the Weight Tube (34) and retighten the Nut against the Washer.

Do not overtighten the cables. If the cables are overtightened, 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 re-install it. If the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual.
