Pro75® Instructions, July 2015 revision 

 

Pro75® hardware components (if used): 

Reload kit components: 

 

Appropriate size of motor case 

 

Forward closure 

 

Nozzle holder 

 

Threaded retaining rings (2) 

 

Case liner (phenolic tube) 

 

Nozzle 

 

Forward insulator disk 

 

P75-ORK (o-ring kit) 

 

P75-TSI-KIT (smoke tracking grain/insulator & igniter kit) 

 

Propellant grains (check reload kit package for number and 
type required for your motor) 

 

Assembly instructions 

 

 

Be sure to follow the correct instructions for the brand of motor hardware you are using! 

 

 

Step 1 is the same for both brands of hardware. 

 

 

All o-rings are pre-lubricated at the factory where required.  

 

 

Three o-rings are supplied in the P75-ORK o-ring kits. The two larger o-rings are used with both Pro75® and 
RMS™ hardware. The smaller o-ring is only used with Pro75® hardware. 

 

 

Do not apply lubricant to the grain spacer o-rings, they are for spacing only. 

 

 

Phenolic and phenolic/paper components such as the nozzle and case liner tube are brittle and can be cracked, 
broken or otherwise damaged by excessive force or impact. Please be careful during handling and assembly. If 
you suspect a part has been damaged in any way, STOP and do not proceed with assembly and especially firing 
until inspected and replaced if necessary. 

 
 

1.

 

Forward Closure Assembly 

 

1.1.

 

Apply  a  light  coating  of  o-ring  lubricant  or 
grease  to  the  inside  of  the  cavity  in  the 
forward  closure.  Insert  the  smoke  tracking 
charge insulator into this cavity and ensure it 
is seated fully. 

1.2.

 

Apply  a  liberal  layer  of  grease  or  o-ring 
lubricant  to  one  end  of  the  smoke  tracking 
grain. Be sure the entire face is coated. 

1.3.

 

Insert  the  smoke  tracking  grain  into  the 
smoke  tracking  charge  insulator,  coated  end 
first. Push the grain in with sufficient force to 
fully  seat  it  and  spread  the  lubricant  as 
shown. The excess lubricant will help prevent 
gas leakage forward as well as protecting the 
forward  closure  from  heat  and  combustion 
products from the smoke tracking charge.
