Maintenance
After approximately 500 uses (or weekly, whichever comes first), the wedges of
the grip should be removed and an anti-seizing compound applied to the edges of
the wedge which contact the wedge chamber. The grip wedges should also be
lubricated if the grips have been in extended storage. Perform the following steps
to lubricate the wedges. Material required is Nikal lubricant (MTS part number
011-354-402).
1. Remove the wedges from the grip body.
2. Clean the grip assemblies to remove any dust or particales that might scatch
the grip surfaces or wedge faces.
3. Apply a thin layer of Nikal lubricant to the edges of the wedge which
contact the wedge chamber and grip piston.
4. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the other grip.
5. Place each wedge back into the grip body.
