Mostly_Harmless 0 #1 August 11, 2005 I am currently jumping a used Vector 3 container. I am just curious about the maintenance on the cutway cables and housings. How often are you suppose to clean them and what are you suppose to use for lubing the cables? Any help would be appeciated._________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #2 August 11, 2005 monthly is the recomendation, and use DRY silocone spray to lube the cables, spray it on a clean cloth and wipe them down.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

ripcord4 0 #6 August 11, 2005 I use a silicone cloth meant for wiping down firearms. It is small, handy to put in your gear bag and works just fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spizzzarko 0 #7 August 11, 2005 Use KY or Astroglide... PSYCHE!!!! Just kidding use the teflon spray, and clean them about once a month. If you live in a desert enviroment, clean them even more. You don't need to have them dripping wet with lube. Wipe them down untill they are clean and dry. Clean them as if you were cleaning a gun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jannu 0 #8 August 13, 2005 Hello! So guys and girls.. Be honest.. Not only Wonderhog jumpers.. How many of you really clean the cables once a month? Or do it at all?! Or do you let your riggers do it? Every six months? I've had my Vector 3 (used) for 4-5 months now... and haven't cleaned the cables.. and of course not applied any silicone/teflon on them... hmmmm?!

rhys 0 #9 August 13, 2005 importantly donot hang your vector 3 on a gear rack. the riser covers will open all the time. store it on a shelf with the chest strapdown and the shoulder straps in place as if they were on you. since i started doing this mine have stayed in place but before they were shockers. just my$0.02"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aber_aos 0 #10 August 15, 2005 I do, the first weekend of every month. I pull the cutaway handle, flex the 3-ring webbing, clean the cable, and reassemble. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMURRAY 1 #11 August 15, 2005 I'd say most people never clean and lubricate them. people don't like to talk about it much.... rm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jannu 0 #12 August 15, 2005 that's what I thought... ..but maybe I should start doind it at least once or twice a year.... ahhh.. maybe I'm too lazy even for that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
