Power/Yoke Cable Replacement

There are three types of cables on your Black Eagle: 2 Power Cables, 2 Yoke Cables, 1 Timing Cable.

The POWER Cable is designed to be replaced every 5,000 shots based on average use at 60 Ib. and with a 540 grain arrow. Lighter arrows and higher draw weight will require more frequent replacement. This should be done if any fraying is evident. Failure to replace cables before they break could result in further damage to your bow and a cost to you.

To replace both cables.

1. Loosen timing system locking hub. (fig. 2)
2. Reduce weight on limbs until string can be removed.
3. Loosen saddle screw (fig. 7) - slide saddle off recurve. limb toward weight bolt.
4. Rotate outboard to expose hinge (fig. 8),
5. Replace cables - check tightness of screws in hinge while they are accessible.

NOTE: Every second time you replace power cables it is advisable to replace yoke cables as well.

6. Reverse above steps but while draw weight is light, straighten limbs - follow limb alignment procedure below.
7. CAUTION: Remember to retighten timing hub locking screw before drawing bow.
8. CAUTION: When assembling the bow such as after cable or string replacement be sure the butt section of the power limb (straight limb) is seated all the way into the limb pocket. Special Very High Bond adhesive tape is installed at the factory to permanently bond the limb pocket to the limb (fig. 9). If this has been removed or damaged by oil, it should be replaced to insure optimum sound dampening.
