User's Manual

Stack Disassembly

Stack disassembly is required when changing the
booster or horn, or for a thorough inspection of all
stack components. In mounted systems, always
remove the stack from its mounting to disassemble
the stack components.
To establish a maintenance schedule, inspect the mating
surfaces after the first 200–400 hours of operation. If they
require cleaning, halve the time between inspections.
If the surfaces do not require reconditioning, then
double the time between inspections. Each system
is different due to the large number of operational
parameters and stress factors.
The assembly and disassembly procedures for a hand
probe are shown in Figure 6–7. It makes no difference
whether the horn is attached to the booster first, or the
booster is attached to the probe first.

CAUTION
Never hold a probe by the
housing when tightening or
loosening an adjoining com-
ponent. The probe housing
has anti–rotation devic-
es to keep the transducer
aligned. These could shear
under excessive torque.
