Reinstall
1. Check the electrode tightness on the needle
shaft. If it is loose, tighten it (refer to "Needle/
Electrode" in the "Maintenance" section).
2. With the applicator trigger actuated, place the
fluid nozzle over the needle/electrode and screw
it into the barrel by hand.
3. Tighten it using the Special Multi-Purpose
Wrench 79854-00 with 3/8" square. Torque to 40-
45 lbs. - in. (4.5 - 5.1 Nm). An alternate method (if
no torque wrench is available) is to hand tighten,
then tighten an additional 1/16 turn in the clockwise
direction.

Figure 21: Reinstalling Fluid Nozzle
† DO NOT under-tighten the fluid nozzle
as fluid can leak into the air passages.
† DO NOT over-tighten the fluid nozzle
into the barrel. Doing so could damage
or break the fluid nozzle or damage the
thread of the barrel.
4. Install the air cap and retaining ring onto the
applicator.

Removal

applicator assembly.
2. Secure the needle shaft at the rear of the barrel
with the Special Wrench 79854-00 and unscrew
the needle/electrode from the needle shaft.

Cleaning and Inspection
1. Use a suitable solvent to clean the needle/
electrode.
2. Examine the needle/electrode for damage or
wear. Pay special attention to the area where
the wire electrode extends from the main body.
This is a sealing surface that seats inside the fluid
nozzle. If there are signs of wear in this area,
both the needle/electrode and fluid nozzle must
be replaced.
3. An electrical check of the needle/electrode must
be done prior to reinstalling it into the applicator
assembly (refer to "Needle/Electrode Resistance
Testing" in the "Maintenance" section).
Reinstall
1. Secure the needle shaft at the rear of the barrel
and screw the needle/electrode into place by hand.
2. Reinstall the fluid nozzle and air cap onto the
barrel.
