Sears 831.159370 user manual Trouble-shooting and Maintenance, Tightening the Cables

Trouble-shooting and Maintenance

Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the home gym system. Replace any worn parts immediately. The home gym 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 home gym 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. Insert the Weight Pin (26) under one of the indicated Weights (25). Slack can be removed from the Cables by tightening the 1/4” Nylon Locknuts (2) at the end of the Short Cable (23) (see drawing 1) and at the end of the Long Cable (58) (see drawing 2). To do this you may need to remove the Small “U”-Bracket (67) from the Weight Tube (not shown) or remove the 3 1/2” Pulley

(15)from the Long “U”-Bracket (57). Make sure that the Cables are not too tight or the Top Weight (76) will be lift- ed off the weight stack.

Additional slack can be removed by moving the 3 1/2” Pulley (15) to the other hole in the “I”-Brackets (81) as shown in the upper inset drawing. Remove the 3/8” Nylon Locknut (21) and the 3/8” x 2” Bolt (12) from the Cable Trap (66), Pulley and “U”-Bracket. Re-attach the Pulley and Cable Trap. Be sure that the Cable trap is in the proper position and that the Cable and Pulley move smoothly.

Slack can also be removed by moving the 3 1/2” Pulley

(15)to the other hole in the Long “U”-Bracket (57) as shown in the lower inset drawing. Remove the 3/8” Nylon Locknut (21) and the 3/8” x 2” Bolt (12) from the Cable Trap (66), Pulley and “U”-Bracket. Re-attach the Pulley and Cable Trap. Be sure that the Cable trap is in the proper position and that the Cable and Pulley move smoothly.

Note: If a Cable tends to slip off the Pulleys often, the Cable 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.
