 Insert
the cable ends through the V of each limb (figure 2).
With the jackscrew
adjusted approximately 1" out (figure 1, B), pull
the cable through the adjustable end piece until there is no slack
in the cable (figure 1, A).
Note: If the
bow is to be completely disassembled the jackscrew will need to be
started approximately 1/2" to 1" from its fully extended position. |

 Slide
the cable stop (figure 1, A) completely over to
the end of the slot in the adjustable cable end, making sure that it
is seated properly past the indents (figure 3).
Inspect the cable before
each use. If there is any sign of damage, such as a fray, the
cable must be replaced immediately. Never use the Bowmaster
with a damaged cable. Contact us directly for replacement
cables. |
|
5. |
 Fold
the leather pads supplied in half and place them in the V of each
limb between the Bowmaster cable and the limb (figure 4).
CAUTION: Position the Bowmaster at least 4" from the last stop
(Figure 1, C) before compressing the bow, otherwise the stop may be
pulled into the cable roller resulting in damage to the cable roller
and cable. |
|
6. |
Turn the jackscrew
clockwise until the tension is adequately removed from the sting and
cable to perform the repair. The 5/8" hex head on the end of
the jackscrew permits the use of a wrench or socket driver to make
the job even easier.
|
|
7. |
When the repairs are
complete, check the string and cables for proper position, then turn
the jackscrew counter clockwise to restore tension to the string and
cables.
|
|
! |
WARNING: The limbs of a compound bow are under extreme tension.
Use caution while working on the bow. Keep the face of the
limbs away from you at all times. Eye protection must be worn.
|
|
|
Note: With
proper maintenance, the Bowmaster will give years of dependable
service. The Jackscrew, thrust washer and cable should be kept
well oiled. All-purpose or machine lubricating oil should be
used. Allow the oil to penetrate into the strands of the cable
before removing excess oil.

BRACKET PLACEMENT FOR FULL SPLIT
LIMB BOWS
|
|
1. |
Lay
the bow on a flat surface with the string facing toward you.
Tentatively position the Quad Limb Brackets at the end of each limb.
On bows with large cams the Brackets will need to be placed between
the string
and cables (Figure 5 & 6). On bows with small cams
or wheels the Brackets may need to be placed outside of the string
(Figure 7).
|
| |
   |
|
2. |
Lay the
Bowmaster Portable Bow Press alongside the bow and adjust to length
(steps 2 and 3 of the Bowmaster instructions) between the Quad Limb
Brackets.
|
| 3. |
Slide the Bowmaster cable
ends into the slots of the Quad Limb Brackets and turn the jackscrew
just enough to take the slack out of the cable which will hold the
Brackets in place.
|
|
4.
5. |
Pick the bow up and if
necessary readjust the brackets so that they are centered on each
limb tip.
Continue by following the
Bowmaster Portable Bow Press instructions above.
