MAINTENANCE Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time you use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent; do not use solvents to clean the weight bench. TIGHTENING THE CABLES Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight bench, 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 place a few weight plates on the weight carriage. Slack can be removed from the cables in the following way: Remove an M10 Locknut (47) and an M10 x 50mm Bolt (46) from two Half Guards (35), two Pulley Plates (34), a Cable Trap (33), and a Pulley (32). Reattach the Pulley (32), the Cable Trap (33), and the Half Guards (35) to a hole closer to the center of the Pulley Plates (34). Make sure that the Cable Trap is oriented to hold the Short Cable (31) in the groove of the Pulley and that the Short Cable and Pulley move smoothly. 31 47 32 35 33 35 46 34 Do not overtighten the cables. If the cables are overtightened, the weight carriage will lift away from the base of the weight bench. If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often, it may have become twisted. Remove the cable and reinstall it. If the cables need to be replaced, see the part ordering information on the back cover of this manual. 18
