C. Reassembly of Air Fingers
1. Air fingers are made up of one inner plate, one outer
plate and the finger housing manifold. Be sure to match
up the markings (T1, T2, T3, etc.) on all the parts of the
air fingers as you are reassembling.
Figure 4-14.
2. Reassemble the inner plate. Keep your fingers clear
so you won't pinch them. The inner plate of a finger will
only go in one way because of its design.
3. Replace the outer plate by placing your hands flat on
the top of the plate and pushing down. Keep your fingers
clear so you won't pinch them.
