Drop forged steel sliding arm resists wear, providing consistent performance under heavy use

Care instructions

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure a secure hold and prevent the sliding arm from slipping.
Clean the rails using a suitable solvent to remove dirt and debris.
Keep the rail free of contaminants such as grease, oil, dried glue, wax, and silicone-based release agents, as these can affect performance.
Use a steel brush to clean the rails for optimal grip.
Clean and oil the pressure plate regularly.
Regularly clean and oil the spindle to maintain smooth operation and prevent wear.
