Horton ACUDraw - Manual (Page 7)

• If the claw and cord are completely bound up, check to make sure the string guides (one on each side, at the top of
the unit - in front of the side plate screw) are not rubbing on the inside of the hub or buried in the string itself. If they
are, loosen their top side plate screws and manually adjust them until they sit just above the hub. Make certain there
is only a very thin clearance between the hub and the string guides. Re-tighten the top side plate screws.
My ACUdraw cord is fuzzy, fraying or cut.
• Apply a thin coat of wax to the entire length of ACUdraw cord and burnish it in (rub the cord briskly between your
fingers, creating heat and melting the wax) if the cord is getting fuzzy.
• Do not attempt to use your ACUdraw if the draw cord is fraying or cut. Contact Customer Service.
My ACUdraw unit is making a loud, squealing noise when I manually draw or retract the claw and cord.
With a Phillips-head screwdriver, completely remove the two ACUdraw cover screws and cover on the right side of the unit
(side with the safety pawl on it). Apply a light-weight oil to the pawl gear and the axle.
My ACUdraw will not “click” when I am cranking it.
With a Phillips-head screwdriver, completely remove the two ACUdraw cover screws and cover on the side where the safety
pawl is located.
The safety pawl (engage lever) uses a spring that is also attached to a roll-pin located diagonally, down and to the right of
the safety pawl. Locate the 3/32” Allen screw holding the pawl lever in place and tighten. Note: If the safety pawl screw is
tightened too much, the lever will not stay in the disengage (down) position when you are trying to manually draw or retract
the claw & cord.
My safety pawl (engage lever) will not stay in the “up” position.
With a Phillips-head screwdriver, completely remove the two ACUdraw cover screws and cover on the side where the safety
pawl is located.
• The safety pawl spring may have slipped off the roll-pin – reattach the tail of the spring.
• The safety pawl spring may be stretched. For a replacement contact Customer Service.
Every time I try to crank my ACUdraw, the claw will only draw the bowstring back a couple of inches, then the claw will
drop back down.
The ACUdraw sear pin inside the unit is broken. This problem happens most often when people have been trying
to uncock their crossbow with the ACUdraw unit. Contact Customer Service and return the crossbow for repair.
