First adjust the Bowmaster limb adapters to the width of the limb.  Hold one of the limb adapters up to the face of the limb.  Turn the adjuster wheel and adjust the adapter width slightly wider than the limb. ( Figure 1)   Adjust the other limb adapter to the same width. 

Lay the bow on a flat surface.  Install the limb adapters on the end of each limb by coming in at an angle to the edge of the limb just behind the cam or wheel ( Figure 2)  and then rotate and slide them into position. ( Figure 3)  

Letting the side brackets swing at an angle to each other may make it easier to install the adapters.

Lay the bow on a flat surface with the string toward you. Lay your Bowmaster press alongside the bowstring. ( Figure 4)

Attach the non-adjustable end of the cable to one of the limb adapters.  Move the adjustable end of the cable into position and attach it to the other limb adapter.  You may need to adjust jackscrew on the Bowmaster press so that one of the adjustment stops is in the proper position.  Turn the jackscrew on the Bowmaster press so that most of the slack is out of the cable.  This is only to put a small amount of presser on the limb adapters to hold them in place for final adjustment.  Do not start to compress the bow at this time.

Pick the bow up and if needed adjust the limb adapters so that they are square on the limbs.  IMPORTANT - Make the final width adjustment on the limb adapters so that each of the side brackets is snug and parallel with the side of the limb. ( Figure 5)   If the width of the limb adapters is adjusted too narrow, it will cause the free end of the side brackets to flare apart and the side brackets will not be parallel with the sides of the limbs.

CAUTION: Position the Bowmaster press at least 4" from the last adjustment stop before compressing the bow, otherwise the stop may be pulled into the Cable Roller resulting in damage to the cable roller and cable.

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.
