TROUBLESHOOTING Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. 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. To tighten the cables, first insert the weight pins into the centers of the weight stacks. Slack can be removed from the cables in several ways: See drawing 1. To tighten the Squat Cable (73) or VKR High 1 Cable (not shown), first loosen the 1/2" Nut (118) on the end of the Cable, away from the 1/2" Washer (1). Screw the end of the Cable farther into the Weight Tube (43). Then, retight- en the Nut against the Washer. 73 118 1 43 See drawing 2. To tighten the other five cables, first remove the upper or lower 3/8" Nylon Locknut (87), 3/8" x 2" Bolt 2 (100), 3 1/2" Pulley (78), and Cable Trap (68) from the Pulley Plates (63). Reattach the Pulley and the Cable Trap between a set of holes closer to the center of the Pulley Plates with the Bolt and Nylon Locknut. See drawing 3. To further tighten the other five cables, first remove the 3/8" Nylon Locknut (87), 3/8" x 2" Bolt (100), 3 1/2" 3 Pulley (78), and Cable Trap (68) from the "U"-bracket (64). Reattach the Pulley and the Cable Trap between the higher set of holes in the "U"-bracket with the Bolt and Nylon Locknut. Do not overtighten the cables. If the cables are overtightened, the top weights will be lifted off the weight stacks. If a cable slips off the pulleys repeatedly, it 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. 63 100 68 87 78 100 64 68 78 87 25
