protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove
this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-
based degreaser or with liberal amounts of WD-40

sure there is no pressure on the finger blocks; then, for
each finger block, remove the top cap screw shown in

After the finger block assemblies have been cleaned,
coat them liberally with a metal protectant and rein-
stall. Make sure to follow the instructions on Page 16 to
re-align the fingers before operating your brake!

far from possible ignition sources when
