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 first 200–400 hours of
operation. If they require cleaning (see Probe Main-
tenance in Section 13), halve the time between in-
spections. If the surfaces do not require recondi-
tioning, 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
component. The probe
housing has anti–rotation
devices to keep the trans-
ducer aligned. These
could shear under exces-
sive torque.
