CUP INSULATOR AND O-RING MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Power-off the coolant pump before disassembling water-cooled barrels.

1. Unscrew Retaining Nut and slide back on barrel.
2. Using a firm pull and twist action, the Water-Cooled Gas Cup or Air-Cooled Gas Cup

Assembly can be removed from the Cup Insulator.

3. Inspect the Cup Insulator and o-rings (included with Insulator) for wear and proper lubrication.

It is considered good practice to replace all o-rings at the same time.

4. To remove the Cup Insulator, it must be unscrewed and pulled from the barrel. Use a rag or

towel (due to o-ring lubrication) and wrap it around the Cup Insulator.
Unscrew and pull when completed unthreaded from barrel. Be sure the Insulator is fully

unscrewed from the threads. Pulling the Insulator over barrel threads will damage the

threads on the Insulator.
Inspect o-rings on barrel for wear and lubrication. It is considered good practice to replace all

o-rings at the same time.

5. To install the Cup Insulator, it must be pushed all the way onto the barrel then screwed onto

the threads. If necessary, place small amount of o-ring lubricant on the inside diameter of the

Cup Insulator, this will help it slide onto the barrel.
Push the Insulator onto the barrel until it bottoms out, screw onto barrel threads.
The Insulator MUST be all the way onto the barrel to avoid assure proper coolant passage

and from blocking the gas outlet orifices.

6. Push Water-Cooled Gas Cup or Chrome Nut, Cup Adapter and Gas Cup Assembly onto Cup

Insulator. Slide Retaining Nut forward and tighten.
