Installing a Detachable Tip

If the horn has a detachable tip, do the following:
1. Inspect the surfaces of the tip and the horn for any
stress cracks, chips or gouges.
2. Coat one of the contact surfaces with a thin coat of
high-pressure grease or lubricant. We recommend
Dow–Corning #4 (or #111 as an alternate).
3. Thread the tip into the horn. To tighten the tip, use the
open-end wrench for the tip and a spanner wrench to
hold the horn, as shown in Figure 7-6.
Tighten the tip to the following specifications:
Tip Stud
Thread

Size
1/2 in. x 20
3/8 in. x 24
5/16 in. x 24
1/4 in. x 28

Installing the Stack

1. With the stack at the angle shown in Figure 7-7, rest the
booster mounting ring on the pin of the stack housing.
2. Brace the stack at point
the stack to a vertical position. The ultrasound contact
button on the transducer should snap under the
electrical contact leaf of the housing.
3. While still supporting the stack in this vertical position,
install the stack access door, and thread the two or four
socket-head bolts (that hold the door closed) into their
holes.
4. If the horn is not properly aligned with the fixture,
rotate the stack to align the horn with the fixture.
5. Finish tightening the socket head bolts until snug.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN!
