Bear Archery Compound Bow 2004 - Manual (Page 31)

31
With proper care and a mini-
mum amount of routine mainte-
nance, your bow will be kept in
top condition.
Carefully inspect your
bow on a regular basis.
Replace frayed bowstrings
and worn cables immediately.
Bowstrings should be replaced
annually or every 10,000 shots.
Keep eccentric wheels,
cams and pulleys rotating free-
ly by lubricating lightly at the
axle. A very small amount of
silicone or teflon-based lubri-
cant applied on a regular basis
goes a long way.
Your bow should be kept
clean of dust, mud and grime.
Use a soft cotton cloth to
remove dirt and moisture.
Bowstrings and synthetic
cables should be lightly re-
coated with a quality bowstring
wax on a regular basis. Smear
the wax into position. Rub it
gently with your fingers or a
soft piece of leather to melt the
wax into the strands.
When traveling with your
bow, always use a bow case.
Avoid exposing your bow
to temperatures over 150
degrees. Never leave your bow
unprotected in a vehicle on a
hot sunny day.
Never put your bow away
wet or store it in a damp place.
