Replacing a cable on your Formula Ventures weight system

• 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 system.
• Route the new cable through the pulley(s) and reassemble the weight system. Tighten all fasteners securely. Remove slack from the new cable so it lifts the weight stack properly.

Maintenance tips for your Formula Ventures weight system

Inspect all moving parts each time you use your weight system. Replace any worn cables or pulleys immediately. Tighten any loose bolts, nuts or other fasteners.

Cables can stretch when you use the weight system the first time. Cables also stretch over time. Carefully check cable tension before each use. Tighten any cable that has any slack during inspection. Don't overtighten any cables. The top weight in a stack will be lifted up off the stack if a cable is overtightened.

If a cable slips off the pulleys often, the cable may be twisted. Remove the cable and re-install it.

All cables should be replaced every 2 years.
