MAINTENANCE Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time you use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts immediately. Clean the weight bench with 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 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. Make sure that the cables are not too tight, or the weight carriage will be lifted. Slack can be removed in the following ways: Remove the M10 x 50mm Bolt (104) and the M10 Locknut (79) attaching the 90mm Pulley (58) and the Plastic Cable Trap (63) to the Long Double U-bracket (47). Reattach the 90mm Pulley and the Plastic Cable Trap to a higher set of holes in the U-bracket with the Bolt and the Locknut. 47 104 63 72 79 58 54 Additional slack can be removed from the cables by tightening a cable into the M6 Locknut (100) inside a Clip (53). To do this, slide the Cable Stop (52) away from the Clip and use a pair of pliers or a screwdriver to tighten the Locknut. Then, replace the Cable Stop. 100 53 Cable 52 Do not overtighten the cables. If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often, the cable may have become twisted. Remove the cable and reinstall it. If a cable needs to be replaced, see the back cover of this manual. 37
