Probe Or Horn From A Probe
On all transducers and horns with spanner wrench
holes (see Figures 10–8), use only the correct size
spanner wrench that came with your system to pro-
vide sufficient torque to loosen a joint.
On boosters and horns with wrench flats, use only
the correct size wrench to provide sufficient torque
to loosen a joint when necessary.
Removing The Mounting Stud
From A Horn Or Booster
Only use an allen wrench of the correct size in the
socket head of stud to remove the stud from the
horn or booster.
Removing Replaceable Tips
From A Horn
Use an open end wrench of the correct size to fit
the wrench flats of the detachable tip. Use a span-
ner wrench (on horns with spanner wrench holes)
or an open wrench (on horns with wrench flats) to
provide an opposite force and keep the horn from
turning in your hand. Refer to Figure 10–9 for the
correct tip removal procedure.

when removing the stud from the booster. Use
a spanner or open–end wrench to provide op-
posite force and keep the horn or booster from
turning in your hand when loosening the stud.
Use a spanner wrench on horns and boosters
with spanner wrench holes. Use an open end
wrench on horns and boosters with wrench flats.

CAUTION
NEVER clamp a horn or
booster in a vise. The re-
sulting scratches or
gouges in the surface are
stress risers which may re-
sult in cracks.
Dukane has a stainless steel tool vise (Part
No.UFTV20) for clamping 20kHz boosters
and transducers to facilitate disassembly of
stubborn com-
ponents with-
out damage. It
accepts front
slug and
booster tool-
ing diameters
of 1.5 and
1.81 inches
and has re-
placeable anti-
rotation pins.
