Maintenance Schedule
It is very important to perform regular maintenance on your
Kurt vise to assure proper operation. Improper maintenance
will result in poor vise performance and may void your war-
ranty.
Daily/ Weekly
1. Remove chips from surface of vise.
2. Visually inspect for chips, seals for damage and cleanliness.
3. Visually inspect for chip entrapments and remove when
necessary.
4. Air-dry and apply rust inhibiting oil to the machined sur-
face of the vise.
Monthly
1. Open the vise to the maximum opening.
2. In the back of the movable jaw (handle end, center hole)
loosen the socket head set screw (approx. 6 turns) With the
hex key (Allen wrench) in the set-screw socket lift up and
forward to pivot the jaw off of the vise bed.
3. Slide the Jaw slightly toward the stationary jaw and lift up to
remove the jaw from the “hook” of the nut. Note: A spherical
segment (shaped as ½ of a steel ball) is inside the cavity of the
movable jaw and may fall out as the jaw is removed. Take care
not to lose or misplace the spherical segment.
4. Turn the movable jaw over and clean the inside cavity. Also
clean the spherical segment.
5. Remove chips, clean and apply a light coat of machine oil to
the machined surface of the following items:
a. Nut and Screw assembly (clean exposed threads on
the screw).
