CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The stainless steel lever delivers a lifetime of wear and rides on a self-lubricating, wear resistant bronze bearing surface. From time to time, we
recommend placing a drop of lubricant on the shaft to prevent the stainless steel and bronze washers from binding. If you find that your lever-
release clamp is not closing as smoothly as it used to, simply open the clamp to the fully open position, squeeze the jaws together, blow out any
dirt or grit, and place a drop of lubricant on the shaft.
USING YOUR CLAMP
Your clamp has 3 distinct positions.
1. Fully Open
Open lever to the fully open
position and you can quickly top-
load your quick-release plates.
2. Halfway Open
With your quick-release plate
engaged in the clamp, flip the
lever to the halfway open position. Your
plate freely slides in the clamp, but can’t
be lifted out. Use the laser-engraved index
marks on the jaws for precision positioning.
3. Fully Closed
The graceful stainless steel lever
has a very positive “snap” feel
when fully closed with a plate
engaged. This gives assurance
that the plate was properly loaded
and locked in place. In the closed
position, the lever closely hugs the contours of the clamp.
