12. Place an o-ring (#130-77-3) into the designated groove on top of the
coupling. Place a metal seal ring (#130-77-22) on top of the o-ring.
Remember, the flat side of the seal ring should face up.
Carefully inspect all o-rings before use. Replace any that show signs
of damage or wear.
13. Tighten the screws on the torsion assembly to secure it to the coupling.
14. Set the pivot cap on the torsion assembly. Make sure the vee jewel sits on
top of the pivot.
The magnet should not move from side to side. If it does, carefully tighten
the screw on top of the pivot cap until you see the torsion assembly move.
As soon as the torsion assembly moves, stop screwing and loosen it a
little. You want to tighten the bearing just until it engages with the pivot, no
more.
15. Test the movement of the torsion magnet. It should turn freely.
16. Screw the cell cap onto the coupling and tighten it completely.
If you feel resistance while screwing in the cell cap, stop
immediately and slowly unscrew it. Never force the cell cap to
tighten. Make sure the threads are lubricated with high-temperature
thread lubricant (#165-44).
17. Inspect the heating well to make sure nothing has plugged the drain holes
around the temperature sensor which projects up in the center.
18. Place an o-ring (#130-77-6) around the outer base of the coupling. This
will seal the heating well and prevent steam from escaping during cooling.
19. Remove the cell from the preparation stand and carefully place it into the
heating well.
The entire cell assembly is very heavy. Be very careful when removing
it from the preparation stand. Use both hands to avoid dropping it.
