2.20 Remove the operating head nut and washers. Insert the H-Pack onto the
operating head and replace the washer and nut, (FIGURE A2-11).
2.21 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
special tools.
2.22 Obtain the painter sachet.
2.23 Ensure that 2.5 m (100”) exits the painter sachet, (FIGURE A2-12).
2.24 The firing point is 1.5 m (59”) from the end of the line. Measure forward
250 mm from the firing point and mark it clearly, (FIGURE A2-12).
2.25 At the firing point, (1.5 m (59”) 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 A2-12).
WARNING:
THE OPERATING MECHANISM IS NOW ARMED. EXTREME
CARE MUST BE TAKEN DURING ALL FOLLOWING ACTIONS.
2.26 Insert painter line through the hole in the H-Pack. Pull it through until the 250
mm mark has been reached, (FIGURE A2-13). Tie the painter line off at this
point, by spliting the cord and inserting the line through twice, then pull tight.
2.27 Ensure the painter cord is firmly attached to the operating head by lightly
pulling on the cord, (FIGURE A2-13).
CAUTION:
ONLY PULL THE CORD SLIGHTLY SO AS NOT TO
DISLODGE THE OPERATING HEAD CABLE. THE
INFLATION SYSTEM IS ARMED.
2.28 Apply two turns of white tape around the painter cord, (FIGURE A2-13). Fold
the end of the tape over on itself to create a pull tail. This will make it easy to
remove the tape at the next service.
