Floating Pulley Bracket (#29). If the cables are too loose, move the Pulley up one
hole. If the cables are too tight, move the Pulley down one hole.

K.) For best performance of the machine, adjust the Cables so the Selector Stem (Top

Plate) on the weight stack is ¼” above the first plate. To select the weight, push
down on the Selector Stem to close the gap then insert the selector pin. This will
remove the slack in the cable system so the range of motion is smooth and tight.
