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. Do this by first raising the clamping
leaf to make sure there is no pressure on the
finger blocks; then, for each finger block, remove
the top cap screw shown in
Figure 6
and slide
the entire finger block assembly off of the front
guide.
This procedure is easiest if you begin with
a finger block on the end.
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.
Do not smoke while using
solvents. A risk of explo-
sion or fire exists and may
result in serious personal
injury.
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.

tant and reinstall.

tions on page 14 to re-align the fingers before
operating your brake!
