Fluid Tip Removal

Fluid Tip

The fluid tip may be removed either with the turbine

in place, or the turbine off the unit. “Fluid Tip” figure

shows removing the tip with the turbine in place.

Fluid Tip Removal

This allows removal and replacement of the fluid

tip while the applicator is on-line.

Replacement

Ensure the tip openings are fully open and clean.

Apply an O-ring lubricant to the O-ring to help hold

it in place on the fluid tip. Insert the O-ring into the

undercut groove on the tip. Place the tip on the

tool and tighten in a

counter-clockwise direction

into the fluid tube.

Do not over-tighten. There

will be a small gap between the flange of the fluid

tip and the fluid tube (see “Fluid Tip/Tube Gap”

figure). Ensure the O-ring is properly positioned

when complete. Tighten to 25-30 lbs•in (2.83-3.4

Nm) torque.

NOTE

†

To remove, turn the tip

CLOCKWISE.

The thread on the tip is

left hand.

If fluid tube is centered, the turbine is fully seated.

If not, check tightness with spanner wrench. If

tube is not centered, again remove turbine and

check for causes, such as an O-ring fell off, fiber

optic not fully installed, foreign material on seating

surface, etc. Reinstall and recheck tube centering.
