Step 5: Clean Brake Arm Pivots

Cleaners: The Brake Pivots and Cam Follower Rollers incorporate

IGUS

lubrication-free polymer bushings, which DO NOT require

any form of lubricant to function properly. It should be noted that

if these bushings are exposed to harsh chemical cleaners, aerosol

cleaners, solvents, or lubricants, they may experience a chemical

reaction causing the bushings to swell up and bind and/or eventually

break down. (Notes: WD-40 is particularly harmful to these bushings.

Petroleum-based prouducts are okay to use. Typically, aerosol cleaners

are not acceptable.)

It Is recommended that the brake be cleaned with a mild degreaser or

soap and water.

Lubricants: As previously noted, the Brake Pivots and Cam Follower

Roller Bushings are lubricant-free, and DO NOT require any form of

lubricant to function properly.

A Light Waterproof Grease may be applied to the Brake Arm Cam

Track and to the Carriage Track if desired.
