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, insert the Weight Pin (39) under
the third Weight (26) from the top. Next, loosen the
1/2” Plain Nut (68) securing the bolt at the end of the
High Cable (73). Tighten the bolt two turns into the
Weight Tube (36) until the cables feel tighter. Tighten
the Plain Nut to prevent the bolt from turning.
Note: For clarity, the drawing shows the shroud
removed; it is not necessary to remove the
shroud.

Additional slack can be removed by moving the indi-
cated 4” Pulley (35) down one set of holes in the
Pulley Plates (31). To do this, remove the 3/8” x 1 3/4”
Bolt (60) and the 3/8” Nylon Jamnut (63) from the
Pulley and the Cable Trap (44). Re-attach the Pulley
and Cable Trap to the lower set of holes with the Bolt
and Nylon Jamnut. Make sure that the High Cable
(73) is in the groove of the Pulley and that the
Cable Trap is turned as shown. The lower pulley
can be moved up to the two higher sets of holes
in the same way.
Slack can also be removed by moving the indicated
4” Pulley (35) to the lower hole in the Pulley Bracket
(91). To do this, remove the 3/8” x 1 3/4” Bolt (60) and
the 3/8” Nylon Jamnut (63) from the Pulley and the
Cable Trap (44). Re-attach the Pulley and Cable Trap
to the lower set of holes with the Bolt and Nylon
Jamnut. Make sure that the High Cable (73) is in
the groove of the Pulley and that the Cable Trap is
turned as shown.
Note: If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys, the
cable may have become twisted. Remove the
cable and re-install it.
If a cable needs to be replaced, refer to the back
cover of this manual.
