CABLE ADJUSTMENT
For the strength equipment to function correctly, the
c
ables must be tensioned correctly. To check the ten-
sion of the cables, insert the weight pin into the top
weight. Next, slowly raise and lower the top weight by
performing one repetition. The top weight should
c
ome to rest just on top of the next weight when the
r
epetition is completed.
If there is too much tension on the cables, the top
weight will not rest on the next weight, and it may be
difficult to insert the weight pin into the weights. If
there is not enough tension on the cables, the top
weight will not be lifted immediately when the repeti-
tion is begun. Ideally, the cable should not move more
than 1/2 in. (1.5 cm) from the resting position before
the top weight is lifted.
If there is too much tension or not enough tension on
the cable, adjust the cable as described in the follow-
ing steps.
Tower Pulley Adjustment
Tools required: 5/16" hex key, 9/16" open-end wrench
1. Lift the top weight off the
weight stack and insert the
weight pin into the next
weight and the sixth hole
from the top of the weight
selector.
2. Loosen the locknut attach-
ing the pulley to the brack-
et in the top of the tower.
3. Move the pulley to the appropriate location in the
bracket. If more slack is needed in the cable,
move the pulley down. If less slack is needed in
the cable, move the pulley up.
4. Make sure that the cable trap is properly oriented
(
see CABLE TRAPS on page 8) and retighten the
locknut attaching the pulley to the bracket.
5. Lift the top weight and remove the weight pin.
Lower the top weight onto the next weight.
6
. Readjust as necessary.
7. 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.
Top Weight Pulley Adjustment
Tools required: 9/16" open or box-end wrench, 5/16"
hex key
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. Using a 5/16" hex key and a 9/16" open or box-
end wrench, loosen the nut holding the pulley in
the bracket on the top weight.
3. To increase the tension, slide the pulley down-
ward in the slot. To decrease the tension, slide the
pulley upward.
4. Tighten the nut and check the tension as
described in CABLE ADJUSTMENT on the left. If
necessary
, readjust the pulley
.
5. Replace the access cover.
