TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time you use the weight system. 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, insert the Weight Pin (39) under the third Weight (26) from the top. Next, loosen the 1/2” Plain Nut (68) securing the bolt at the end of the High Cable (73). Tighten the bolt two turns into the Weight Tube (36) until the cables feel tighter. Tighten the Plain Nut to prevent the bolt from turning.

Note: For clarity, the drawing shows the shroud removed; it is not necessary to remove the shroud.

Additional slack can be removed by moving the indi- cated 4” Pulley (35) down one set of holes in the Pulley Plates (31). To do this, remove the 3/8” x 1 3/4” Bolt (60) and the 3/8” Nylon Jamnut (63) from the Pulley and the Cable Trap (44). Re-attach the Pulley and Cable Trap to the lower set of holes with the Bolt and Nylon Jamnut. Make sure that the High Cable

(73)is in the groove of the Pulley and that the Cable Trap is turned as shown. The lower pulley can be moved up to the two higher sets of holes in the same way.

Slack can also be removed by moving the indicated 4” Pulley (35) to the lower hole in the Pulley Bracket (91). To do this, remove the 3/8” x 1 3/4” Bolt (60) and the 3/8” Nylon Jamnut (63) from the Pulley and the Cable Trap (44). Re-attach the Pulley and Cable Trap to the lower set of holes with the Bolt and Nylon Jamnut. Make sure that the High Cable (73) is in the groove of the Pulley and that the Cable Trap is turned as shown.

Note: If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys, the cable may have become twisted. Remove the cable and re-install it.

If a cable needs to be replaced, refer to the back cover of this manual.
