5.17 Using a permanent marker, check and mark each desiccant sachet with the
current date and expiry date, (FIGURE 825). Expiry date is determined as
the date of the next scheduled service. Subsequent expiry dates will be from
date of each service.
CAUTION:
WHEN FOIL BAGS ARE OPENED, THE DESICCANT
SACHETS INSIDE, MUST BE SEALED INSIDE THE
H-PACK WITHIN 8 HOURS.
5.18 Place 10 desiccant sachets into the H-Pack, spaced out along the cylinder
and base of the H-Pack, (FIGURE 825).

5.20 Remove the operating head nut and washers. Insert the H-Pack onto the
operating head and replace the washer and nut, (FIGURE 826).
5.21 Using a torque wrench tighten the operating head nut to the correct torque.
Please refer to Chapter 1, TABLE 101 for torque values and Chapter 10 for

5.22 Obtain the painter sachet and tape in place. The polythene sheet should
extend over the open end of the sachet and the painter rope by at least
100 mm but no more than 150 mm.
5.23 Ensure that 2.1 meters exits the painter sachet, (FIGURE 827).
5.24 The firing point is 1.5 meter from the end of the line. Measure forward
250 mm from the firing point and mark it clearly, (FIGURE 827).
5.25 At the firing point, (1.5 m) from the end of the line), pass the actuation cable
of the operating mechanism, through the painter line. Thread the remaining
painter line back through the actuation cable, (FIGURE 828).
WARNING:
THE OPERATING MECHANISM IS NOW ARMED. EXTREME
CARE MUST BE TAKEN DURING ALL FOLLOWING ACTIONS.

250 mm mark has been reached, (FIGURE 828). Tie the painter line off at
this point, by splitting the cord and inserting the line through twice, then pull
tight.
