Slack can be removed from the Long Cable (73) by mov-
ing the 3 1/2” Pulley (5) on the Long Cable in the direc-
tion shown. It is attached to the small tube on the Press
Seat Frame (52). There are two free holes in the small
tube, and you can move the 3 1/2” Pulley to any one of
them to tighten the cables. To do this, remove the 3/8”
Nylon Locknut (4), 3/8” Flat Washer (17), and the 3/8” x
2 1/2” Bolt (6). Start by moving the 3 1/2” Pulley one
hole, and then one more as needed.

Reattach the Bolt, Washer, and Locknut.

Trouble-shooting and Maintenance

Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the home gym. Replace any worn parts immediately. The
home gym can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.

Tightening the Cables

If a cable slips off the pulleys often, the cable may have become twisted. Remove the cable and re-install
it.
If the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual.

The type of cable used on the home gym can stretch slightly when it is first used. If there is slack in the cables
before resistance is felt, the cables should be tightened. Slack can be removed from the cables in several differ-
ent ways:

The Adjustable Pulley Plates (44) have two sets of
adjustment holes. By moving one or both 3 1/2” Pulleys
(5) to a different set of holes, you will tighten the cables.

To move a 3 1/2” Pulley (5), remove the 3/8” Nylon
Locknut (4) and the 3/8”x 2” Bolt (35). Remove the Cable
Trap (39) and Pulley from the Adjustable Pulley Plates
(44). Re-attach the Pulley and Cable Trap to the appro-
priate adjustment hole in the Pulley Plates. Note: Begin
by moving one Pulley to the second adjustment hole.
If additional adjustment is needed, move the other
Pulley until the cables are tight.
