DSD Pedals - Care and Maintenance
All DSD Components are manufactured for a lifetime of use and enjoyment. DSD Pedals are virtually maintenance free. We recommend that you periodically inspect your pedals for smooth operation of all three pedal arms. If you wish to lubricate them on occasion, any household oil may be used; we recommend 3 in 1 Oil. It is also recommended that you inspect your pedals from time to time to ensure they are clean and free of debris such as pet dander, small toys or other foreign objects which may find their way into the pedal mechanisms. DSD Pedals are "set and forget" and can likely withstand earthquakes. However, periodic inspections will help to ensure you enjoy your pedals for many races into the future. We thoroughly lubricate the pedals before they are shipped.
The photos below indicate all of the lubrication points on the pedals. Do not use any solvents on the pedals such as WD40 or other chemicals. We recommend 3 In 1 and lubricate the pedals with that type fully prior to shipping. You can use vegetable oil if needed, but petrol based oil is preferred. DO NOT OIL the potentiometers - these are the highest quality of this type, have million cycle lifespans and only need a puff of compressed air and that only on a rare occasion.
NOTE CAREFULLY: The RED ARROWS indicate the oiling points on the pedals. You only need to use a few drops of oil and only if needed. Make sure to clean any excess with either a dry paper towel or dry cotton towel - please also exercise caution with any oiled rags and dispose of safely in a firecan. Also note that this is one of our Test Mules doing the modeling so she's not as glamorous as the pedals you may have.
Thank you!
