Clean Up
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Remove this protective coating with a
solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such
as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser or with liberal
amounts of WD-40
®
.
Remove and thoroughly clean each finger block
assembly. To remove single fingers, raise the
clamping leaf with the foot pedal (see
Using Foot
Pedal ,
Page 17
) to make sure there is no pres-
sure on the fingers. Unscrew the cap screw(s)
as shown in
Figure 5
with an 8mm hex wrench,
remove the finger, and leave its respective T-
nut(s) in the front guide.
Do not clean with gas-
oline or other petro-
leum-based solvents.
They have low flash
points which make them
extremely flammable.
A risk of explosion and
burning exists if these
products are used.
Many of the solvents
commonly used to clean
machinery can be toxic
when inhaled or ingest-
ed. Always work in well-
ventilated areas far from
potential ignition sources
when dealing with sol-
vents. Use care when dis-
posing of waste rags and
towels to be sure they do
not create fire or environ-
mental hazards.
Figure 5. Removing finger blocks.
After the finger block assemblies have been
cleaned, coat them liberally with a metal protec-
tant and reinstall.
Place the fingers over the clamping leaf front
guide, align the cap screw holes and the T-nut
holes, insert the cap screws into the T-nuts, and
fasten them loosely.
Follow the instructions on
Page 18
to re-align the fingers before operating
your brake!
