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.
CABLE DIAGRAMS The cable diagrams on this page and the next page show the proper routing of the Butterfly Cable (85), the High Cable (86), the Rear Cable (87), the Press Cable (88), and the Low Cable (89). Use the diagrams to be sure that the Cables have been assembled correctly. The starting and ending points of each Cable have been labeled. The numbers show the proper route for each Cable.
