Tightening the cables on your Golds Gym weight machine
Cables stretch over time so inspect the slack in all weight machine resistance cables before using the weight machine each time.
Tighten any loose cables to eliminate slack before using the weight machine. Don't overtighten the cables.
To tighten cables that use a bolt and locknut adjustment, slide the cable stop away from the cable clip. Use a pair of pliers or a screwdriver to tighten the locknut on the bolt that goes into the cable clip to shorten the cable and remove slack. Slide the cable stop against the cable clip.
To remove slack from a cable with adjustable sets of holds in a U-bracket, remove the nut and bolt that hold the adjustable cable pulley in place and move the bolt up to hold the pulley in a higher set of holes to remove cable slack. Reinstall the nut and tighten it firmly to hold the bolt and pulley in place.
Replacing a cable on your Golds Gym weight machine
Wear work gloves to protect your hands when replacing the cable.
Remove the key from the weight stack
Create slack in the cable by adjusting the tension bolt.
Remove the bolt that connects the cable to the lifting component.
Release the cable from the weight stack.
Release the pulley or pulleys that the cable goes through and remove the cable from the weight machine.
Route the new cable through the pulley(s) and reassemble the weight machine. Tighten all fasteners securely. Remove slack from the new cable so it lifts the weight stack properly.
