adjusting Cable Tension

Pay close attention to maintenance of the cable tension. Over time and with heavy use, the cables are designed

to give slightly. Located on the main engine housing is a tension control knob which allows you to increase the

tension in the cables.

Checking for incorrect cable tension is simple.

1. Position the adjustable swing arms in the upper most

position.

2. Check to see if clips at end of cable hang down or if they

are tight against the pulley.

3. If cables don’t have enough tension, use the tension control

knob on the side of the machine to tighten the cables. (See

image below).

4. To increase tension, pull tension knob outward and turn

the large pulley clockwise. The clip on the cable should be

touching the pulley.

In this image, the cable clip extends a

few inches below the pulley, so there

is not enough tension in the cable. The

cable clip should be tight against the

pulley with appropriate tension.

There are tension knobs on each side of the machine.

To increase cable tension, pull knob and turn the large

pulley clockwise. You’ll know when you have enough

tension when the cable retracts and the cable clip

touches the pulley.

The cable clip

should stop here.

Large pulley. This is what you need to turn to increase the

tension on the cable. Pull the tension knob and use your

other hand to turn the large pulley clockwise.
