How do you know how much to tighten the pulleys? When tightened all the way they don't rotate.

I think you may have assembled it wrong by using some of the wrong hardware. When I assembled and tightened to a firm snug level, they adjust perfectly. I would re-evaluate the pieces you have used

The pulleys need to be tightened while still allowing the pulleys to turn smoothly. This for each of the four pulleys.

Lube the threads and work it a little. Mine was the same and it tightened right up. Works fine now.

It depends on how much you tighten them up (I tightened them up too much at first and they wouldn't turn at all.)

We did not overly tighten ours as we didn't find a need to. We did tighten it snuggly enough so it wouldn't turn easily. It did move a bit once after it was bumped but it wasn't a problem to move it back. I would suggest you contact the company if you feel yours is having a problem..

Get someone stronger to twist it. Use some of those jar gripper things. Keep saying bad words to it until it loosens up. ? ;)

I have had it more than a year brilliant machine. Pulley needs lubrication occasionally. I use at least twice a week and have lubricated only once.

I don't use both pulleys like it came assembled; I only use the cord through the front pulley to get further away from the door. When the front plastic pulley broke apart, I moved the rear pulley to the front until that broke. Then I modified the pulley bracket using a roller with a bearing for a sliding glass door; it works much better now.

I have had the same problem with the main belt falling off. It appears that the large and small pulleys are not lined up forcing the belt to ride on the edge of the large pulley nearest the blades. There seems to be no way to align the pulleys. Next stop is the dealer.

Be sure your cables are routed properly then grab your cable and twist it until the pulley relaxes. Mine just started doing this after a year and this fixed it. You may have to repeat this from time to time especially if you change exercises a lot. Good luck.

If you cant get the bolts to tighten, you will need to replace them with a new anchor kit 84999. Unless I am misunderstanding you.

No, I may have been lucky, but for me the pulley came off and went back on without a problem. I think that the most important thing is to keep up with parts and where they go back on. I found a helpful parts diagram online. I wish I had taken some digital pictures during disassembly, but did okay and have used it without a problem since last mid-summer.

Hey Doug they are screwed on for me because they always seem to get lose after a while I just glued them down as well. Hope this helps. thank you and good luck. last thing too if your thinking about buying don't get anything 50 or over in lbs its to much to pull every time. truth me on that ^_^

Mine comes off now and then,what i do is hold the base steady try to guide the cord to the middle of the pulley and pull hard. Works for me hope it works for you. Good luck.

It is kinda tricky. find the exact spot and to tighten turn clock wise. It took a little while to find the right area to tighten. pull all the way up and keep trying. good luck

If you're asking why the nuts won't screw in completely, it's because they're LOCKNUTS. You have to hold them in place firmly using an adjustable wrench while simultaneously screwing in the bolt on the other side using the Allen Wrench.

It is the miracle of mechanical advantage pulleys. For the money this is a very good home gym. Put your key in the last stack and measure the resistance. Good luck.

I don't have the tools to measure that. I just tightened them down as much as I could and it's been fine. Even with a loaded cargo box it didn't move.
