5.5 Remove the inflator body from the outlet body
- Use a permanent marker to place a small mark on both the locking ring and the outlet
body. This serves to later on, during assembly, act as an indicator as to how far to screw
the locking nut back into the outlet body.
- Clamp the outlet body into a bench vice.
ATTENTION
: when using the vice, make sure to fit it with soft jaws (plastic or fibre).
This avoids damaging the clamped inflator body and its nickel-plated coating.
-
ATTENTION:
when clamping the black synthetic dual outlet body into the vice, use as
little force as possible to avoid distorting the dual outlet body.
- Use a 24 mm spanner to unscrew the locking nut and inflator body counter-clockwise
from the outlet body.
-
ATTENTION
: Make sure the jaw of the spanner ONLY touches the inflator body and the
locking ring, i.e. the parts with “OXYGEN” or “DILUENT” laser engraving and containing
the blue or green push button. The jaw of the spanner should
NOT
touch the outlet body.
