Removal
Remove the mounting ring by first removing
the break-away ring. Loosen the six (6) 1/4-20
screws (using a flat blade screwdriver) that holds
the break-away ring to the rear plate assembly.
The break-away ring and the mounting ring will
now come off.
Loosen the fiber optic assembly in the rear plate
by loosening the set screw with a 3/32" hex key.
Pull the fiber optic cable from its hole in the solvent
manifold and rear plate assembly. Leave end
loose in the atomizer extension.
Using the tubing removal tool (A11373-00), se-
lect the appropriate size end for the tube to be
removed, 8mm or 6mm. The 8mm end will also
fit over the 10mm green turbine air tube. Place
the opening around the tube and press down on
To reinstall, insert open end of A11351-04 assembly
into front of atomizer body and push all the way
through. Install ferrule and fitting over tube and
install at valve manifold end first! Tighten fitting
to a stop, then 1/4 more turn. Next, pull some of
the slack out of the line before tightening the next
fitting and ferrule into the atomizer body. Tighten
to stop and then 1/4 turn more. Next, tighten the
remaining end of the tube into the inner shaping
air ring. Tighten to stop and tighten 1/4 turn more.
the quick release collet. Using your other hand,
pull the tubing from the collet. Remove all tubing
from the collets. Also, remove the fluid tubes held
on with compression nuts.
On the cup wash manifold end, remove the cup
wash line from the manifold by unscrewing the
1/4-inch fitting using a 3/16" end wrench. Leave
line loose in atomizer extension.
Remove the six (6) 6mm screws holding the rear
manifold to the atomizer extension using a 5mm
hex key. Slide the rear plate and cup wash man-
ifold assembly out. All the tubing should come
with the assembly except the fiber optic and cup
wash line.
Replacement:
To replace the cup wash manifold and rear plate
assembly, you must have all the tubing in place on
the cup wash manifold except the fiber optic and
the solvent wash line. Lightly tape the tube ends
together to ease installation. Slide the tubing into
the atomizer extension, helping the tube make the
bend at the front end of the atomizer extension.
Align the locating pin and the rear plate with the
locating hole of the atomizer extension. Install the
six (6) 6mm socket head screws. Tighten to 15
lbs•in (1.69 Nm) torque (see Figure 35).
Reattach all tubing at the atomizer end, reinstall
the fiber optic cable into the rear plate. Tighten
set screw to 10 lbs•in (1.13 Nm) torque.
Install the mounting ring onto the atomizer ex-
tension, threads facing rearward. Install the
break-away ring. Align the four (4) locating dowel
pins with the corresponding four (4) holes on the
break-away ring. Install the six (6) 1/4-20 stainless
steel screws. Tighten to 15-20 lbs•in (17 - 2.3 Nm)
torque. If you are using the optional plastic break-
away screws, tighten evenly to 5 lbs•in (.56 Nm)
torque. The break-away ring must lie flat against
the face of the rear manifold.
