NOTE:
THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS HAVE SLEEVED SECTIONS. MOST ARE IN PLACE FROM
THE FACTORY BUT IF NOT, WIPE THE SLEEVE CAREFULLY AND LUBE LIGHTLY WITH OIL
OR W4-40 PRIOR TO INSERTION. IF THE SLEEVE STICKS OR BINDS AT ALL,
STOP, STOP
STOP.
DO NOT GO FURTHER, REMOVE CAREFULLY AND CLEAN AGAIN. IT MAY ALSO BE
NECESSARY TO PUSH A CLEAN CLOTH THROUGH THE ELEMENT BEFORE TRYING THE
INSERTION AGAIN. AT THE FACTORY, WE HAVE FOUND THAT WD-40 IS THE BEST AT
LOOSENING THE BIND BETWEEN TWO SECTIONS OF ALUMINUM TUBING.
3. Element #4 is next. Again place an element clamp block with a 1-1/4” hole at 1/4” from the butt of
the element. Align with element hole as before and secure using an 8-32 x 1-3/4 screw and
locknut. Add the small clamp block and 1/4-20 x 1” flat head bolt and locknut loosely. If it is not
already there, insert a 1-1/8 x 20” sleeve in the butt of the element and hold in place temporarily
with a 1/4-20 x 1-3/4” bolt and locknut but don’t tighten yet. Continue adding the 1”, 3/4 and 1/2”
sections securing with the 8-32 hardware listed on the drawing. Tighten each joint securely so no
wiggle is felt when moving the element. Finally, remove the 1/4-20 x 1-3/4 bolts and slide each
element half on the dual saddle center insulator assembly. Re-install the bolts and tighten.
