CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Your Bear Archery compound bow requires very
little lubrication. Wipe the cable guard
periodically with a dry cloth to keep the cable
slide running smoothly and free of dust. Cam and
idler wheel bearings do not require lubrication. If
other lubrication is necessary, use white lithium
grease or Teflon lubricants. Avoid excessive
lubrication of any item, as this can attract dirt.
On hunting bows, avoid lubricants with obvious
odors.
String and Synthetic Cable Maintenance
Regularly apply a high quality bowstring wax to
your string and synthetic cable system. Regular
waxing protects your cables and strings from
abrasion, wear and separation. Smear the wax
into position. Then, rub it gently with your
fingers or a soft piece of leather to work the wax
into the strands. Replace frayed or worn
bowstrings and cables immediately.
•Bear Archery strongly recommends replacing
the bowstring and cable annually. Please visit
your local Bear Archery dealer for assistance.
