Packing Rod Repair
You may replace the packing rod as individual parts or
as an assembly. The assembly is pre-adjusted at the
factory.
Before installing the fluid packing rod into the gun barrel,
make sure the internal surfaces of the barrel are clean.
Remove any residue with a soft brush or cloth. Check
the inside of the barrel for marks from high voltage arc-
ing. If marks are present, replace the barrel.
To assemble the individual parts:
1. Place the packing nut (26e) and seal (26b**) on the
fluid rod (26h). Flats on the packing nut must face
the back of the fluid rod. The seal o-ring must face
away from the packing nut. See F
IG. 27..
2. Fill the inner cavity of the spacer (26g**) with dielec-
tric grease (40). Place the spacer on the fluid rod
(26h) in the direction shown. Generously apply
dielectric grease to the outside of the spacer.
3. Place the packing spreader (26c**), rod packing
(26d**), and housing (26f) on the packing rod (26h).
4. Lightly tighten the packing nut (26e). The packing
nut is properly tightened when there is 3 lb (13.3 N)
of drag force when sliding the packing housing (26f)
assembly along the rod. Tighten or loosen the pack-
ing nut as needed.
5. Install the o-ring (26a**) on the outside of housing
(26f). Lubricate the o-ring with non-silicone grease,
Part No. 111265. Do not over-lubricate.
6. Install the spring (4) against the nut (E) as shown.
7. Install the packing rod assembly (26) into the gun
barrel. Using the multi-tool (37), tighten the assem-
bly until just snug.
8. Install the trigger (30) and screws (8).
9. Install the electrode, page 43.
10. Install the nozzle and air cap, page 42.
11. Test gun resistance, page 30.
