CLEANING YOUR BAFFLE
STACK, TUBE, AND FRONT
MODULE
WARNING! When cleaning
the baffles in a Ti-RANT 45-M
silencer, only use a solvent
that is not harmful to an-
odized aluminum, such as
acetone, paint thinner, or lac-
quer thinner. Exposing the anodized aluminum components of a Ti-
RANT 45-M silencer to a solvent that is not compatible with aluminum
can weaken the components. Using a Ti-RANT 45-M silencer with
weakened components may lead to property damage, personal injury
and/or death.
WARNING! Only use solvents in a well-ventilated area away from
open flames. Unsafe use of solvents may lead to property damage,
personal injury and/or death.
WARNING! Always wear protective gear, such as eye protection and
solvent-resistant gloves when working with any solvent. Unprotected
exposure to solvents may lead to property damage, personal injury
and/or death.
WARNING! Do not clean any part of a Ti-RANT 45-M silencer using
an ultrasonic cleaner. Ultrasonic cleaners can damage aluminum
components. Using a Ti-RANT 45-M silencer with weakened compo-
nents may lead to property damage, personal injury and/or death.
1. Clean accumulated fouling from the baffles using a plastic bristle brush
and solvent. See Figure 21.
2. Use a cotton swab to clean
the recess on the inside of
the front end cap. See Fig-
ure 22.
3. Inspect the O-ring on the
outside of the front end cap
(shown as red in Figure 22).
Replace the O-ring if it ap-
pears worn or frayed.
4. Scrub the inside of the main
tube body using a plastic
bristle brush and solvent.
See Figure 23.
5. Scrub the inside of the front
module using a plastic bristle
brush and solvent. See Fig-
ure 24.
6. Inspect the O-ring on the
outside of the front module
(shown as red in Figure 24).
Replace the O-ring if it ap-
pears worn or frayed.
7. Lubricate the threads on the
exterior of the front end cap,
front module, and the piston
housing interface threads on
the exterior rear of the tube
with anti-seize compound or
white lithium grease.
WARNING! All traces of sol-
vent must be allowed to evap-
orate prior to reassembly.
Failure to remove all solvent
from the silencer prior to use
may lead to property damage, personal injury and/or death.
