Step-by-step instructions on how to safely crank and de-crank the TenPoint Acuslide crank.

Spot on David ! A much needed video. You covered everything very well ! Thank you for your time .

[@jasontobey9225]

Much Clearer than the Tenpoint video in my opinion! I recently got the Viper 430 from you David (I am completely new to Tenpont and cranks.), and this video cleared up all of the questions I had on the cranking system. Thank you for taking the time to actually show what is going on inside the Bow. Great job on this!

What's the name of both Cross bows?

I have a situation when decocking old model. I did about three clockwise turns while pushing the silver tabs forward until the hooks disengage. When I was winding down the string it felt like it was skipping and jamming. Planning to get a local shop to take a look.

There is a nylon washer on both sides of the strap. If you have too much slack the strap catches it and folds it over. Bet that is it. You will need a new strap and gear if that is the case

[@ASP-rb9mj]

Thanks! Shop got it working without having to open stock. Should be ok, right?

[@WyvernsCreations]

If the washer was not too bent it will work fine

Just a quick clarification, around the 6:30 mark, you are showing the back crank on the Nitro, you SAY back crank twice, but you actually only physically back crank 1 1/2 times. Then half crank to finish. Just wondering if you MEAN back crank 1 1/2 then half to TOTAL 2 cranks? Hopefully that makes sense?

[@WyvernsCreations]

There is some plus and minus to two exact turns. Part of it is where the handle is when you get all the way back. What your doing with the two back cranks is allowing some slack so the trigger fully settles onto the pins. It can settle with less than 2 turns but generally if you say back crank two turns it turns into 1.5 or 1. If you say back crank 1 turn people would not go back enough. Good catch!!

I have the tenpoint havoc rs440 and some how the left trigger release pin fell off gone. I'm not sure where it came off, and I'm not sure how it came off. Where can I find one. Also, can the bow still work after getting wet in the rain. One day, my bow got wet, and when I attempted to de-cock and it make lots cranking noise, any explanation is appreciated

[@WyvernsCreations]

Ya…that is all one piece. You will want a service center to replace that for you they won’t sell just the part. There is a bushing that is probably gummed up from being wet. Same deal a service center can pop out the crank and clean the bushing for you

[@darrontabor3139]

Just wanted to clarify something. On my Nitro 505, new model, after I do the 2 back cranks, EVERY time that I hold the button and try the additional last 1/2 crank I get the clicking. You say this is OK, just want to make sure nothing is wrong as Ive never tried it and NOT had it click on my bow. It shoots fine and accurately but I dont want to be messing things up inside and have trouble later.

[@WyvernsCreations]

It just means that the two turns are enough to disengage the brake. Your good

Im concerned with the gear mechanism being how I was caught in heavy rain storm last season. How can I check for damage, rust, and relube the gear housing? Thanks.

[@WyvernsCreations]

Ther is no real lube. You can take the side cover off and clean and dry the crank

[@kenfrank3969]

Thx Wayne….do you have a video of actually taking the side cover off??

[@WyvernsCreations]

No it’s not a big deal. Take out all the screws on the right side of the bow and peel off the cheek with a small screwdriver. You may have to reglue the cheek back on

[@kenfrank3969]

Thx for your help! This is awesome that you actually reply and very helpful. Much appreciated. I’ll give it a try on my Seige 410. I’m sure it’s the same set up as the others.

Wouldn't worry, since he said the "plastic" teeth could wear down.
