Bear Archery Compound Bow 2004 - Manual (Page 9)

MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Your Escalade Sports compound bow requires very
little lubrication. Wipe the cableguard periodically to keep
the cable slide running smoothly. Cam and wheel bear-
ings do not require lubrication. If other lubrication is nec-
essary, use white lithium grease or Teflon© lubricants.
Avoid excessive lubrication of any item, as this can
attract dirt. On hunting bows, avoid lubricants with obvi-
ous odors.
String and Synthetic Cable Maintenance
Regularly apply a high quality bowstring wax to you
string and synthetic cables systems. Regular waxing
protects your cables and strings from abrasion, wear and
separation.
One twist per 4” of string length will eliminate “dead
strands”. For example, a 47” string should be twisted 11-
12 times. Be sure to twist the string in the direction that
tightens the servings.
Escalade Sports strongly recommends replacing the
bowstring and cable annually or every 12,000 shots. If
the string or cables show signs of wear, replace as soon
as possible with Escalade Sports components.
Directions on replacing the string start on page 35.
