Default Cable slide problems?

I noticed on my Tomkat last pm that my cable slide on my cable rod had moved some from where it normally was. I dont know when or how it did, but I did notice that i could move it myself by pushing or pulling it. Is this ok? I'm sure it needs to be in a certain postion but i dont know exactly where, & is it ok or not that it moves that easy? I know this sounds like a stupid question. I mean I knoe its a cable SLIDE, hince the word slide which to me means that its ok if it does slide but I'm still stupid to alot of the tech. aspects of a bow & I'm still trying to learn. Thanks

Don't rightly know what you are really asking, but it could be it's sticking a bit in one location. Clean the rod with alcohol and you should be fine. Or replace the slide with a WHITE teflon one.

Check to make sure the screw that holds the rod in the riser is not loose. Is the rod backing out of the riser?
