Saf-T-Vise STV-LP1 & Saf-T-Vise STV-LP2 13
b.
Add a small amount of Molykote 55 or other silicone/lithium lubricant to the rod/shaft .
c.
Wrap the threaded end of the rod/shaft with two (2) complete wraps of Teflon tape to protect the seal during
rod/shaft insertion .
d.
Place the rod/shaft into the holder carefully . If the rod/shaft cannot pass through the body, make sure the locking
collet is loose and oriented in the correct direction (dot on top) . It is sometimes easier to completely remove the
locking collet from the body . Be careful not to lose collet .
Â
NOTE
Each insertion collet assembly is unique to each retrieval tool . Be sure to keep the removed assembly with the specific tool
retractor .
e.
Reinstall the locking collet .
Locking collet with orientation dot (see photo):
Once the rod/shaft is
through the body of the holder, reinstall the locking collet (if removed) with the
orientation dot facing the top of the tool, and tighten the collet .
Locking collet without orientation dot:
Newer versions of the locking collet are
not orientation dependent . Once the rod/shaft is through the body of the holder,
reinstall the locking collet (if removed) and tighten .
f.
Remove the protective Teflon tape from the rod/shaft .
g.
For atomizer or quill shaft only, reapply new Teflon tape (2–3 wraps is adequate) .
Coupon holder rods do not need Teflon tape .
6.
Finish reassembly .
For coupon holder rods only
a.
Move rod/shaft through tool so the last 1 .5 inches are visible out the top of the holder .
b.
Tighten the locking collet bolt to 35 ft-lb (47 .45 Nm) .
c.
Reinstall the adapter and lock nut securely on the rod .
d.
If using a graphoil seal, gently tighten the upper body onto the lower body, and then tighten the set screw .
Â
NOTE
If using graphoil seal, do not overtighten the upper body . This will make the rod/shaft difficult to move and cause
excessive wear on the seal .
e.
The tool is now ready to go back into service
For atomizer or quill shafts
a.
Add a very small amount of anti-seize lubricant to the shaft end (take special care not to get any anti-seize
lubricant in the shaft as this could clog your nozzle tip) .
b.
Thread the fluid adapter onto the shaft and tighten the
adapter using the small ¼" nipple (or multi-port valve) if no
wrench flats are present .
c.
If re-installing a used shaft, tighten down to the mark made
earlier . If installing a new shaft, align the mark on the fluid
adapter with the outlet of the atomizer tip or quill .
