This depends on whether or not this is an XT or a Big Red.
On an XT, the cable attachment points are located on both sides of the machine
and can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the respective nuts. The cable
end, not the cable itself, should be held with pliers as the nut is tightened
or loosened, to prevent twisting of the cable.
On a Big Red, the left upper arm cover,(black plastic cover), must be removed
to access the adjustment nut and spring on one end of the cable. Pliers should
be used on the cable end to prevent twisting of the cable. If there is not
enough adjustment in this screw to properly tighten the cable to spec, then the
cable must be stretched manually from the right side of the machine by
loosening a U bolt and pulling the cable very tight and then reclamping it.
Extreem care must be taken in pulling on this cable as it can and will break .
This is why the change to the current system is found on the new XT versions.
The correct tension of the cable should be 10 plus or minus 1/2 pound. I use a
force guage to measure and set this tension.
