General Maintenance - Black Max BMC001 Operator's Manual

WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

To replace the clamp pads on the sliding clamp:
 Hold the front clamp pad and slide the back clamp pad
