GYRO
FITTING INSTALLATION PROCEDURES (EDO-AIRE).
The use of teflon tape on the fitting threads is recommended and should be installed as follows:
- CA UTION -
Permit no oil, grease, pipe compound or any foreign material to
enterpartsprior to installation offittings. Make sure that all air lines
are clean and free of foreign particles and/or residue before
connecting lines to gyro. DO NOT USE THREAD LUBE ON
FITTINGS OR IN PORTS. The use of thread lube can cause
contamination shortening the life of the gyro and can cause
prematurefailure. A ny evidence of the use of thread lube will create
WARRANTY VOID CONDITION.
I. Carefully lay teflon tape on the fitting threads allowing one thread to be visible from the end of the
fitting. Hold in place and wrap in the direction of the threads so tape will remain tight when the fitting is
installed.
2. Apply sufficient tension while winding to assure that tape forms into thread grooves (one full wrap
plus 1 2 inch overlap is sufficient).
3. After wrap is complete. maintain tension and tear tape by pulling in direction of wrap. The resulting
ragged end is the key to the tape staying in place.
4. Press tape well into threads.
5. Screw fitting into port careful not to exceed torque requirements as noted on decal located on cox er of
gyro. (Refer to Chart 9105 for specifications and Manufacturers address.)
