INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
MATHEWS, PARKER, AND PSE.
CAUTION!!!!!!
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THIS PAGE!
INSTALLATION OF THE “DEATH GRIP” IS VERY EASY. HOWEVER, YOU MUST
READ AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. IF YOU FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS, THE
BOND WILL BE UNBELIEVABLY STRONG. THE “DEATH GRIP” WILL NEVER COME
OFF YOUR BOW, UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO.
INSTALLING THE BEARING ASSEMBLY ONTO THE BOW
1.
First of all, find a place that you can set and leave your bow so that the face of the grip
seat will remain level for 24 hrs after applying the bearing assembly. (FIG-13) This is
done to allow the bond to take place properly. Do not touch the bow for 24 hrs after you
have installed the bearing
assembly.
2.
Remove the old grip presently on the bow. The factory installed grip may require you to
remove one or two screws. Other grips may be glued on. Depending on the adhesive the
manufacturer of the bow uses, this step will range from very easy, to the hardest part of
the installation. Use a hair dryer to heat the grips that are glued on. This will weaken the
bond of the glue and make it easier to remove the old grip.
3.
Remove the paint and glue that is necessary to mount the bearing assembly. You can see
how much paint to remove by setting the bearing assembly on the grip seat and lining it
up with the line up tool included with your kit. (Fig.-1). Mark the area that the paint must
be removed from. (Fig-2) Remove the old paint and glue from the back of the grip seat.
(Fig-3) A single sided razor blade works well for this task. Drag the blade over the paint
and shave the paint and glue off. Do not push the blade, as it will dig into the aluminum
riser. Remove as much of the old glue as possible. Excess glue may interfere with
bearing movement. The adhesive that will be used to adhere the bearing assembly to the
grip seat will only bond metal to metal. It is better to take off to much paint rather than
not enough.
4.
It may be necessary to use a 320 grit emery paper to remove the last bit of paint from
the face of the grip seat. (FIG-4) You may have to remove some glue on the sides of the
grip seat left over from the old grip. Check the fit of the bearing assembly on the grip
seat. Make sure the bearing assembly will slip onto the grip seat freely and completely.
You must be able to slide the bearing assembly up and down freely.
5.
Clean the grip seat where the paint was removed with water and a paper towel. (Fig-6)
Clean the area of the bearing assembly that will be afixed to the grip seat with water and
a paper towel. (Fig-7) Do not use any soap or chemical cleaners. Dry the bearing
assembly and grip seat with a paper towel.
6.
Apply the activator with the cotton swab onto the space where the paint was removed
from the grip seat. (Fig-8) The activator must be applied in a thin film over the entire bare
metal surface. Apply the activator once then wipe it in with a paper towel. This will prime
the surface. Apply the activator a second time and leave it on the riser in a thin film.
7.
Unscrew the cap from the syringe and apply a bead of adhesive 1/8 of an inch (3 mm)
thick down the center of the area of the bearing assembly that will be adhered to the grip
seat.(Fig-9) Do not smear or apply the adhesive any place else. All you want is the 1/8"
(3mm) bead down the center of the bearing assembly. (Fig-10) When you place the
bearing assembly onto the grip seat it will roll the bonding agent over the activator and
the chemical bond will take place.
8.
Use the provided line up tool to place the bearing assembly in the correct position on the
grip seat. (Fig-11) Press the bearing assembly onto the grip seat. One firm press is all
that is needed. (Fig-12) Pressing the bearing assembly onto the grip seat will cause
adhesive to squeeze out the sides and the ends of the bearing assembly. This is normal.
Do not worry about the excess adhesive that was squeezed out the ends or the sides at
this time. Recheck the position of the bearing assembly with the line up tool. (Fig-11) Wait
four minutes. Remove all of the adhesive that is under the bearings with a paper towel.
Set or hang the bow so that the grip seat and bearing assembly are at a level position.
(Fig-13)
9.
Do not touch the bow for 24 hours after the installation is complete. An initial bonding will
take place in the first 2 hours. A complete bonding will take place after 24 HRS.
Do not try to install the grip on the bearing assembly for at least 24HRS!!!!!!
INSTALLING THE GRIP
1.
After the 24 hr. curing time you may now remove the excess adhesive that has leaked out
the sides of the bearing assembly. The adhesive may still be in a thick liquid form at this
point. It is not necessary to remove all the adhesive on the sides of the bearing asembly.
2.
It is important to snap the bottom of the grip onto the bearing assembly first in order to
get the correct alignment to the traverse bearing and the traverse bearing slot machined
into the grip. Line up the slot that is running left and right inside the grip with the bearing
mounted on top of the bearing assembly. Apply firm pressure on the very bottom of the
grip. You will feel and hear it snap into place. (Fig-14)
3.
Apply forward pressure to the top of the grip until you hear and feel the top of the grip
snap on. (Fig-15)
Removal of bearing assembly
1-Upply upward pressure to the rear of the grip. The grip will pop off the bearing
assembly.
2- Remove the fifth bearing from the top of the bearing assembly with a 5/32 Allen
wrench.
3- Install a 3/4 inch 10x24 allen screw back into the same hole.
4- Using a back and forth motion thread the screw back into the same hole until the
bearing assembly is pushed off the riser. You may hear a crack. That is normal. The
sound is the adhesive cracking.
5- Remove all residue of adhesive from riser and bearing assembly before reinstalling the
bearing assembly.
