9.24 Barrel Removal and Installation
WARNING
Contact with the barrel can cause severe burns. Exercise caution and wear
appropriate PPE when working on or around a hot barrel.
CAUTION
Thermocouple connections on the barrel are easily damaged. Do not allow
the weight of the barrel to rest on the thermocouples.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
This procedure assumes the replacement barrel is clean and the feed
screw can be moved by hand. This is required so that the screw can be
reattached to the injection housing without having to move the housings.
If the screw is to be separated from the barrel, follow instructions to remove
the screw first. See “Feed Screw Cleaning and Replacement” on page 10-4.
