Note: Three (3) squares of extra belt must show on the opposite side of the clamp when tightening bolts.

▶For belting with the “fold over” clamp (Figure 1).

▶Add Red Vibra-Tite® Threadlocker to the four bolts and tighten to 5 N-m using a torque wrench. The bolts should be tightened in a uniform pattern.

AURA: CABLE TENSIONING PROCEDURE

▶Loosen the jam nut on the cable bolt above the weight stack

▶Using your hand, pull any slack out of the cable and turn the cable bolt down removing the slack

▶Once slack is removed, tighten the jam nut down using a wrench, finger tight is not good enough

▶Insert weight stack pin into several different weight plates to ensure it goes in smoothly. If not, adjust cable tension back a bit until success

Note: On some machines, such as the cable Leg Press, there will be additional adjustment at the opposite side of the cable.

Only adjust there if you run out of bolt threads above the weight stack.

ULTRA: CABLE TENSIONING PROCEDURE

▶Loosen the jam nut and remove the weight stack pin

▶Tighten cable bolt until head plate begins to move

▶Tightening jam nut using a wrench

▶Put as much weight on as possible, perform exercise to set cable

▶Check cable tension with your finger pushing the cable from side to side

▷If the weight stack lifts (moves) when pushing the cable no more than 1 inch from the center, the cable is tensioned properly.

▷If the weight stack head plate does NOT move, repeat steps 1-4

▶Check cable tension with your finger pushing the cable from side to side. If the weight stack head plate lifts (moves)when pushing the cable no more than

1 inch from the center, the cable is tensioned properly

▶Check to make sure weight stack pin goes into every hole without hitting the bayonet

Red dashed arrow is showing the cable too loose

Green arrow is showing the cable tensioned properly

IMPORTANT:

There must be seven

threads of cable

bolt in the head

plate adapter.

VERSA: CABLE TENSIONING PROCEDURE

▶The cables on all Versa can be adjusted at the bottom portion of the weight stack.

▶Loosen the two M10 bolts seen in the picture

▶Use a 6mm hex wrench, turn the adjuster bolt up or down to tighten the cable

▷A properly tensioned cable will lift the head plate with 10–12 mm of deflection of the cable

▶Torque the two M10 bolts to 77 N-m once the proper cable tension has been achieved
