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 pin into the center of the weight stack. Slack can be removed from the cables in several ways: See drawing 1. First loosen the M12 Nut (87) on the end of the Low Cable (55) away from the 50mm 1 Washer (88). Screw the end of the Cable farther into the Weight Tube (23). Finally, retighten the Nut against the Washer. 55 88 87 23 See drawing 2. Slack can be removed from the cables by moving the indicated 90mm Pulley (46) in 2 the "U"-bracket (39). First, remove the M10 Nylon Locknut (80), the M10 x 48mm Bolt (86), the Pulley, and the Cable Trap (48) from the "U"-bracket. Reattach the Pulley and the Cable Trap to a higher set of holes in the "U"-bracket with the Bolt and Locknut. Make sure the Cable Trap is oriented to hold the cable in the groove of the Pulley. Do not overtighten the cables. If the cables are overtightened, the top weight will be lifted off the weight stack. If a cable slips off the pulleys repeatedly, it may have become twisted. Remove the cable and reinstall it. If the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual. 39 86 80 48 46 24
