able Traps
Check the cable traps to ensure that they are not rub-
b
ing against the cables and that they are holding the
cables in the grooves of the pulleys. If a cable trap is
not correctly aligned, loosen the bolt slightly, readjust
the cable trap as necessary, and retighten the bolt.
WEIGHT GUIDE LUBRICATION
Clean and lubricate the full length of each weight
guide by wiping it with a soft cloth containing a light-
weight motor oil, 10W-40 or 10W-30 weight. Apply
only a light coating over the entire length of the weight
guide. Do not use TEFLON
®
-based lubricants.
CABLE ADJUSTMENT
For the strength equipment to function correctly, the
cables must be tensioned correctly. To check the ten-
sion of the cables, insert the weight pin into the weight
carriage. Next, slowly raise and lower the weight car-
riage by performing one repetition. The weight
carriage should come to rest just on top of the next
weight when the repetition is completed.
I
f there is too much tension on the cables, the weight
carriage will not rest on the next weight, and it may be
d
ifficult to insert the weight pin into the weights.
If there is not enough tension on the cables, the
weight carriage will not be lifted immediately when the
r
epetition is begun. Ideally, the cables should not
move more than 1/2 in. (1.3 cm) from the resting posi-
tion before the weight carriage is lifted.
If there is too much tension or not enough tension on
a cable, adjust the cable as described in the following
steps.
Weight Carriage Pulley Adjustment
Tools required: 5/16" hex key, 9/16" open-end wrench
1. Remove the access cover by pulling it free at the
bottom and then sliding it upward until the two sets
of tabs release.
2. Loosen the locknut attaching the pulley in the
bracket on the weight carriage.
3. Move the pulley to the appropriate location in the
bracket. If more slack is needed in the cable,
move the pulley upward. If less slack is needed in
the cable, move the pulley downward.
4. Make sure that the cable trap is properly oriented
(see CABLE TRAPS at the left) and retighten the
locknut attaching the pulley to the bracket.
5. Check the tension of the cables as described
above. Readjust as necessary.
6. Slowly perform a repetition using a light load and
have someone make sure that the cable is not
derailed from a pulley or rubbing on a cable trap.
7. Replace the access cover.
