NO BOW PRESS OPTION
The X Technology bows do not require a bow press to relax the
strings for service.
Relax Strings for Service
1. Loosen and remove the 4 locking tab screws (see Figure 2).
Damage may occur to the limbs at the pin holes if the locking tab
screws are not removed before fully backing out the limb bolts.
2. Loosen the 4 limb bolt locking screws.
3. Back limb bolts out one turn at a time alternating between all 4
limb bolts. Never have more than 2 turns differential between the limb
bolts at any time. Back the limb bolts out until they are flush with the
anchor (see Figure 2).
Tighten Strings after Service
1. Check to make sure the all the half rounds and underlays are installed and
properly seated between the limbs. Note: It is important that the underlay is
seated properly over the pin on the half round and the pin on the pocket.
(see Figure 1).
2. Begin tightening the limb bolts one turn at a time alternating
between all 4 limb bolts. Never allow more than two turns differential
between limb bolts at any time.
3. Once the limbs have bottomed, the wheel attitude can be adjusted, if needed. (see
the Setting Wheel Attitude section for this procedure) and then set the poundage.
4. Reinstall the 4 side locking tab screws and tighten the limb bolt locking screws.
SETTING WHEEL ATTITUDE
The Mach X bow is equipped with independently adjustable pivoting
limb pockets. This allows for the adjustment of wheel attitude. The
wheel attitude is pre-set at the factory and will remain true as long as
adjustments to the limb bolts are made in the same increment for each
limb bolt. For example, if you would like to decrease the draw weight of
the bow by 3 to 4 pounds, back each limb bolt out exactly one turn.
Adjust Wheel Attitude
1. Adjust top wheel by using the split harness. When looking at the bow
from the back (as if shooting), the right side of the split harness should
have approximately 12 twists more than the left. It is not necessary to
use the limb bolts to adjust the attitude of the top wheel.
2. Draw the bow to full draw and observe the cable in the bottom
wheel. It should be centered between the two tracks of the wheel
(see Figure 3).
3. Let the bow down carefully from full draw. NOTE: Do not use an arrow!
4. If the string is not near the center between the two cam tracks at full
draw, adjust the limb bolts (with the bow at rest) on the bottom limbs to
get the wheel to sit so that the cable is as centered as possible between
the two tracks at full draw. See Figure 3 for details. Never have more
than two turns differential between the limb bolts.
WHEEL SPACING
Spacing for the top wheel should be one medium spacer on both sides
of the wheel. If there is any extra play in the assembly then 1 or 2 thin
spacers can be added to the OUTSIDE of the limb inside the E-clip.
Spacing for the bottom cam should be one thin spacer on the shelf side
of the cam and one thin spacers on the opposite side. If there is any
extra play in the assembly add an additional thin spacer to the side
opposite the shelf.
