General Maintenance

1.) Toe Stop – Lubricate the threads of the toe stop stem prior to inserting into the plate. Also, remove the Allen screw that locks the toe stops, lubricate completely and re-insert.

2.) King Pin and Hanger – The king pin and the neck of the hanger should be lubricated every six months and prior to re-assembly.

3.) Bearings – Bearings should be removed every two to three months and cleaned to insure maximum performance. Do not use leaded gasoline on the bearings: the lead particles can accumulate and damage the bearings. Cleaning is most effective when soaked overnight or when cleaned with compressed air. After cleaning re-lubricate and re-assemble.

4.) Pivot Pin – The pivot pin ball and the pivot cup insert should be lubricated periodically with a heavy grade of oil.

5.) Cushions – Cushions should be checked monthly for wear, such as tears and cracks, also, check cushion tension. When you notice a lack of response, cushions should be changed.
