USER’S GUIDE
PSE X TECHNOLOGY
The PSE X Technology bows come with many unique features that will enhance
your archery experience.
MAINTENANCE
Your bow is a mechanical device that is subject to wear and therefore must be inspected
periodically and given the proper adjustments and service. It is recommended that this
service be performed at least once a year by an authorized PSE dealer. All components,
including string, cables, axles, e-clips, limbs and riser should be carefully inspected for
damage or wear.
STRINGS AND CABLES
Apply a light coat of high quality bowstring wax to your string and cable each time you
shoot your bow. It is especially important NOT to wax the area of the string that wraps
around the idler wheel. This area of the string should be treated with a cam lubricant.
This will help reduce wear on your string and cables. Inspect the string and cables regularly
and replace them when there is evidence of wear, every 5000 shots or every 12 months.
USING A BOW PRESS WITH X TECHNOLOGY BOWS
ALL PSE X Technology bows MUST be serviced in an approved bow press and require special
consideration. Do not attempt to service these bows in any bow press without reviewing the
procedures described herein.
Use of a non-approved bow press or improper use of an approved bow press WILL result
in damage to the bow and possible personal injury. Damages incurred by improper use
or maintenance will not be covered under the warranty. See the PSE website at
www.pse-archery.com for a list of approved bow presses.
There are two basic types of approved presses available: compression-type and pull-type.
COMPRESSION-TYPE BOW PRESS:
This type of press pushes in a horizontal direction against the tips of the limbs.
No other support for the bow is required.
When using a press of this type, back each limb bolt out 4 turns from the bottom setting,
position the bow in the press and crank press inward to apply a compression force against
the limb tips as shown below.
Compress ONLY far enough to loosen the string and cables. Over
compressing could break the limbs and cause personal injury. Any damages
incurred from over-compressing will not be covered under warranty.
