NOTE:

 Most users will experience the binding issue at some point. It is better to be proactive with the 

cleaning of the rails and bearings in the Viper to prevent any unwanted and unintentional down time. One 

recommendation is that every 3000 sprays a wipe down and cleaning of the rails and bearings be done by 

the user or at least every 6 months, whichever comes first.
