LINER REMOVAL, INSTALLATION AND TRIMMING

(See Figure D.1)

NOTE: The variation in cable lengths prevents the interchange-
ability of liners between guns. Once a liner has been cut for a
particular gun, it should not be installed in another gun unless it
can meet the liner cutoff length requirement. Liners are shipped
with the jacket of the liner extended the proper amount.

1. Remove the gas nozzle.

2. Remove the gas diffuser from the gun tube.

3. Lay gun and cable out straight on a flat surface. Loosen set

screw of the connector on the back end of the gun.

4. Insert the untrimmed Liner into the back end of the gun.

5. Seat Liner bushing into back of gun. Secure Liner by

tightening set screw. Do not install the gas diffuser at this
time.

6. Lay the cable straight and trim Liner to 9/16”. Remove burrs.

7. Install insulator and secure the gas diffuser into the tube.
