[. . . ] This type of cable guard bar is installed by inserting the bar into the bushing and securing it with two small set screws. (See fig 6) 10 fig 5 (Examples of High and Low Direct Mounts) fig 6 (Example of Adjustable Cable Guard Bar) Note: Hoyt USA recommends that the position of adjustable cable guard bars be set at the two o'clock position. (See fig 7) Cable Guard Glide Two O'Clock Position fig 7 11 Warning!On some shorter axle to axle models adjustable cable guard bars can be off-set too much causing the cable to track off the cam. This can cause damage to the bow or personal injury. To prevent this from happening NEVER SET THE BAR AT THE THREE O' CLOCK POSISTION. CABLE GUARD INSTALLATION (TWO CAM MODELS) Hoyt USA uses a specially designed cable glide that has off-set cable slots. To correctly install the glide on two cam model bows make sure that when the cables are inserted into the glide the shorter slot is closer to the grip and the longer slot is closer to the end of the cable guard bar. (See fig 8) Note: On bows with high mount bars installation may be opposite of above. CABLE GLIDE INSTALLATION (SINGLE CAM MODELS) On single cam models install the glide opposite from the two cam method so that the longer slot is closer to the grip and the shorter slot is closer to the end of the cable guard bar. (See fig 8) This will ensure that contact is minimized between cables at the point where they cross. 12 One Cam Installation Two Cam Installation fig 8 (One Cam and Two Cam Glide Installation) The glide is then inserted over the cable guard bar so that the cables are on the inside of the bar. Note: If you have trouble pulling the cables back far enough to get the glide over the end of the cable guard bar you will need to use a bow press. Hoyt USA recommends that this be done by a qualified Pro Shop as a bow press may be required. TILLER ADJUSTMENT Tiller is the difference in actual distance between the upper limb to the string and lower limb to the string measured from the base of the limbs (where the limb and riser meet) at a 90 degree angle. (See fig 9) Single cam models must be measured from a reference line from axle to axle. (See fig 10) 13 fig 9 (Two Cam Tiller) fig 10 (One Cam Tiller) The main function of tiller is to allow the archer to more easily and comfortably aim during the draw and release of the shot. Most bows will shoot best with an even tiller which means the distance from the string to the limb is the same on top and bottom. Tiller adjustments are made by adjusting either limb weight adjustment bolt (see next page). Example: Too much tiller on the bottom limb, decrease the weight on the top limb or increase the weight on the 14 bottom. Hoyt USA recommends that you initially set tiller equal top and bottom. CENTERSHOT Centershot is the alignment of the arrow in the power path of the string. This is accomplished by moving the arrow rest left or right. [. . . ] Evidence of abuse, mishandling or alterations will void the warranty. Bows damaged by improper use of a bow press. Mail Order Voids Warranty- The most important part of any new bow selection is the careful and correct matching of the new bow to the archer. We believe that this is so important that it can only be accomplished with the assistance of a qualified archery professional such as can be found at any Hoyt USA authorized Pro Shop. [. . . ]
