Stack Disassembly
Stack disassembly is required when changing the booster or
horn, or for a thorough inspection of all stack components.
In mounted systems, always remove the stack from its
mounting to disassemble the stack components.
To establish a maintenance schedule, inspect the mating
surfaces after the rst 200–400 hours of operation. If they
require cleaning, halve the time between inspections. If
the surfaces do not require reconditioning, then double the
time between inspections. Each system is different due
to the large number of operational parameters and stress
factors.


CAUTION
Never hold a probe by the
housing when tightening or
loosening an adjoining com-
ponent. The probe housing
has anti–rotation devices
to keep the transducer
aligned. These could shear
under excessive torque.
The assembly and disassembly procedures for a hand probe
are shown in Figure 6–6. It makes no difference whether
the horn is attached to the booster rst, or the booster is
attached to the probe rst.
