Model T10726 (Mfg. Since 12/12)
SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance on the Model T10726 will
ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of
inspecting your brake each time you use it.
There are three main areas to maintain on the
Model T10726:
• Fingers and Finger Receiver. After han-
dling the fingers for removal, spacing, or
re-installation, always apply a quality metal
protectant to the fingers and finger receiver
(see Page 13 for offerings from Grizzly) to
prevent corrosion.
When storing the brake for long periods of
time, make a habit of occasionally re-apply-
ing the metal protectant as directed above.
• Eccentric Shaft Rod. Periodically or if the
up-and-down finger movement becomes stiff,
apply a couple of drops of light machine oil to
the eccentric shaft rods on each end of the
eccentric shaft (see Figure 16). The rods are
accessible between the eccentric shaft and
the roller brackets. Rotate the lever front-to-
back several times to distribute the oil, then
wipe away any excess.
• Finger Clamp Sleeve Lubrication. To
reduce wear, periodically apply a couple of
drops of light machine oil to each end of the
finger clamp sleeves (see Figure 17), then
slide the sleeves side-to-side several times to
distribute the oil. Wipe away any excess oil.
