To tighten the cables, first insert the weight pin into the
middle of the weight stack. Slack can be removed from
the cables in several ways:
¥
See drawing 1. Tighten the 1/4Ó Nylon Locknut (44)
that connects the end of the Press Cable (88) to the
Large ÒUÓ Bracket (84).
¥
See drawing 1. Remove the 3/8Ó Nylon Locknut (42)
and the 3/8Ó x 2Ó Bolt (50) from the Cable Trap (80),
Pulley, and Large ÒUÓ Bracket (84). Re-attach the
Pulley and Cable Trap to the other hole in the Large
ÒUÓ Bracket.
Make sure the Cable Trap is in the
proper position and that the Cable and Pulley
move smoothly.
¥ See drawing 2. Loosen the 1/2Ó Plain Nut (35) on the
end of the High Cable (85). Thread the Cable further
into the Weight Tube (25). Hand tighten the 1/2Ó
Plain Nut.
The Rear Cable (87) can be tightened in the same
manner.
¥
See Drawing 3. If you feel additional slack while using
the home gym system, the Low Cable (86) and the
Press Cable (88) can be tightened further.
Remove the 3/8Ó x 2Ó Bolts (50), the 3/8Ó Nylon
Locknuts (42), the 3 1/3Ó Pulleys (82), and the Cable
Traps (80) from the Pulley Plates (31). Reattach the
upper Pulley
without the Cable Trap
. Reattach the
lower Pulley to the higher hole in the Pulley Plates
without the Cable Trap
. Keep the Cable Traps for
future use.
Make sure the Cable and Pulley move
smoothly.
Do not overtighten the cables. If the cables are over-
tightened, the top weight will be lifted off the weight
stack. If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often, it
may have become twisted. Remove the cable and re-
install it.
If the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING RE-
PLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual.

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. If any slack is felt when using the
weight stack closest to the lat upright, both the High Cable (85) and the Low Cable (86) will need to be tight-
ened. If any slack is felt when using the other weight stack, the Rear Cable (87), the Press Cable (88), and the
Butterfly Cable (89) will need to be tightened.
