The use of a Channel Lock Pliers may be necessary to unthread the Black External Gasket (C-00513). It may require tapping the sides of the Black External Gasket to loosen the threadlocker prior to unthreading.
Probe Shaft Inspection and Cleaning Ensure the white molded probe remains clean and free of oils, greases etc. 1. Verify the Pink Arc Snuffers (C-00554), two each for the XLT-1 and 4 each for the XLT- 2, are not cracked, chipped or otherwise damaged. Replace if necessary. 2.
Yellow Tube & Components Inspection and Cleaning Ensure the Arc Tubes remain clean and free of oils, greases etc. 1. Use an all purpose very fine nylon mesh sanding pad to remove surface soot deposits on the XLT Internal Female Contact (C-00517). 2.
Overhead Arm Assembly Inspection and Cleaning 1. Inspect the Overhead Arm Assembly (P-00052) for damage and proper movement. The assembly should smoothly swing 30 degrees from center in both directions and return to center when released. Overhead Arm Assembly (P-00052) Clip Assembly (P-00031) XLT Clip Post...
2. Apply a small amount of Loctite 263 (B-01073) to the 1/4”-20 x 7/8” Cup point SHSS (B-01268) and fasten using a 1/8” Allen wrench. Continue tightening until the Overhead Arm Assembly (P-00052) can support itself in the upright position. 3.
