6.4.3. Procedure B3: Replacement of the electrode located in the air cap
Disassembly:
•
Step 1
: Pull out the conductive PTFE washer.
Using one of the two housings on the back of
the air cap, insert the screwdriver blade under
the washer (do not use the housing where the
centering pin is located).
Make a slight turning motion with the screw-
driver and proceed in the same manner with
the second housing.
Remove the washer by hand.
The rear part of the electrode is visible.
•
Step 2
: Straighten the electrode vertically
with the flat pliers.
•
Step 3
: Push the electrode toward the back of
the air cap.
When the electrode is sufficiently pulled out,
remove it from the back with the flat pliers.
•
Step 4
: With the flat pliers, remove the small
PTFE tube surrounding the electrode.
Check that no residue remains in the electrode
housing. If necessary pass by hand, a drill or a
1 mm metal rod into the hole.
