Anyone have a problem with grease/oil coming out of the PC 7424 or Edge Adapter ?

**cullen2505** · 08-12-2007, 02:43 PM

I was using my PC last night with a white Edge 2k pad and I noticed some grease/oil on the pad. Didn't know where it came from until I removed the pad and it looked like it was coming out of where the handle goes. Anyone else ever have this problem? Also is it possible to remove the black plastic housing that surrounds where the handle goes? Thanks.

Same problem, but only with Edge Pads. Don't know why.

No, I never oiled it. I bought it from AG back in December and haven't used it all that much. The oil looks like it's coming from around the threads were you can screw the handle in on the side of the machine. If the plastic housing was removable I might be able to tell exactly where it's coming from.

I had the exact same problem which is why I though it was going out on me. I in turned bought the UDM but switched back to LC pads because of the vibrations (backing plate runs smoother on this machine). Never could figure out why.

Click on this link icullen2505, it will explain quite a bit about servicing the 7424. Never had that problem myself.

Thanks for the link!!! I'll take it apart and see if I can find where it's coming from.
