Ravin Multi-Press – Professional Universal Bow Press for All Ravin Models

Technical Specifications

Purpose and Practical Utility

The Ravin Multi-Press is designed to safely alleviate the immense tension held within the limbs of a Ravin compound system. It is used whenever you need to service the string and cables or adjust the cam timing. Owning this press allows you to avoid the downtime of sending your crossbow to a specialist, giving you the power to maintain your equipment whenever it suits you, ensuring consistent accuracy and safety.

Correct Usage Guidelines

Before beginning, verify that the interchangeable blocks match your specific model (refer to the markings on the bronze blocks). Place the crossbow limbs securely into the cradles. Operate the lead screw using the manual handle or a 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) socket wrench. Turn slowly until the string becomes slack. Once serviced, release the tension gradually to ensure the limbs and cams return to their seated positions correctly.

Technical Insight

Did you know that Ravin's HeliCoil technology requires a highly specific compression angle? Because the cams rotate a full 340 degrees, standard bow presses can often slip or damage the limbs. The Multi-Press is the only certified way to ensure your investment remains protected during servicing.

Maintenance and Safety Warnings

• Lubrication: Keep the threaded rod clean and apply a small amount of lithium grease periodically to ensure smooth operation.
• General Care: Wipe the aluminium surfaces with a soft, dry cloth to prevent the buildup of dust or grime.
• No Impact Tools: Never use a power impact driver to operate the press. The excessive torque and vibration can strip the threads and potentially damage your crossbow's limbs.
• Intended Use Only: This press is specifically calibrated for Ravin geometry. Attempting to press other brands may result in equipment failure or personal injury.

Recommended Accessories

To complete your home workshop, we recommend keeping a stock of genuine Ravin replacement strings and cables. Additionally, high-quality string wax and lubricant for the flight rail are essential for maintaining your crossbow's performance after using the press.
