TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

Inspect and tighten all parts often and replace any worn parts immediately. 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. IMPORTANT: The

Weight Pin (26) must be inserted under the middle Weight (25) before the cables can be tightened. Slack can be removed from the cables three different ways:

See drawing 1. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2) at the end of the Long Cable (23). To do this you may need to remove the Small “U” -Bracket (67) from the Weight Tube (63). Make sure that the cables are not too tight, or the Top Weight (76) will be lifted off the weight stack.

See drawing 2. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2) at the end of the Short Cable (58). To do this you may need to remove the 3 1/2” Pulley (15) and the Pulley Covers (89) from the Long “U”-Bracket (57). Make sure that the cables are not too tight, or the Top Weight (76) will be lifted off the weight stack.

See drawing 2. Move the 3 1/2” Pulley (15) and the Pulley Covers (89) to the other hole in the Long “U”-Bracket (57). Remove the 3/8” Nylon Locknut (21) and the 3/8” x 2” Bolt (12) from the Pulley, and the Long “U”-Bracket. Re-attach the Pulley and Pulley Covers. Be sure that the Cable and Pulley move smoothly.

Note: Inspect all cables before each use. 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.

Replace all cables every two years.
