Fluid Packing Rod Removal and Repair
(continued)
7. Place the packing nut (28c) and o-ring (28g) on the
fluid rod (28b). Flats on the packing nut must be
facing toward the back of the fluid rod.
8. Fill the entire inner cavity of the spacer (28d) with
the dielectric grease included with the gun. Place
the spacer on the fluid rod (28b), in the direction
shown in Fig. 30. Generously apply the grease to
the outside of the spacer.
9. Place the fluid packing (28f), needle packing (28e),
and housing (28a) on the fluid rod (28b), as shown
in Fig. 30.
10. Lightly tighten the packing nut (28c) with the
multi-tool (83). The packing nut is properly tight-
ened when there is 2 lbs. (9 N) of drag force when
sliding the packing housing (28a) assembly along
the shaft. Tighten or loosen the packing nut as
needed.


Apply a very light coat of lubricant to the o-ring (28h).

Fill the inner spacer (28d) cavity with the dielectric grease and
generously lubricate the outside of the spacer.
