2.4 - SPANNER NUT
(RPI PART #RPT364)
When removing the solenoid flute/bonnet, it is suggested
by the OEM to use a pair of pliers on the welded area of the
flute/bonnet. If done incorrectly, the pliers could collapse
the hollow area of the flute/bonnet, thus preventing the
plunger from moving freely.
However, using the Spanner Nut (RPI Part #RPT364) offers
an easier and safer way to remove and install the
flute/bonnet.
INSTRUCTIONS
STEP #1 - Disconnect the power to the autoclave. Remove
the nut, coil bracket, and coil.
STEP #2 - Place the Spanner Nut over the flute/bonnet
and align the Spanner Nut pins with the holes in the base
of the flute/bonnet (see Figure 2.4).
STEP #3 - Using a wrench on the Spanner Nut; loosen the
flute/bonnet to access the internal parts of the solenoid
valve.
STEP #4 - Service as needed.

2.5 - HEX BALLDRIVER (5/64")
(RPI PART #RPT297)
- FOR USE WHEN REPLACING
THE MICROSWITCH
The OEM microswitch is held in place with two small slot-
ted pan head screws which are difficult to access. The
compressor must be removed in order to remove these
screws. The RPI microswitch comes with two socket head
cap screws which are easy to install or remove when
using the Hex Balldriver. The Hex Balldriver is designed to
reach far into the autoclave to easily remove the screws,
even at an angle, and without having to remove the com-
pressor (see Figure 2.5).
Caution: Disconnect the power
to the autoclave before servicing and be sure the steam
generator/boiler has completely cooled.
NOTE -
Microswitch (RPI Part #SCK007) includes (2) #2-
56 x 1/2" lg. Socket Head Cap Screws (RPI Part #ADS120)

TIP - Apply Silicone Gasket Maker (RPI
Part #RPS639) to side of switch and
mount to probe bracket angle. Apply a
sealing bead of Gasket Maker around
switch housing to close off any leak
paths between switch and bracket.
and (2) #2 Split Lockwashers (RPI Part #RPH253). The
screws and lockwashers are also available separately and
can be used with the OEM switch.
Apply Silicone Gasket Maker (RPI Part #RPS639) to side
of switch and mount to probe bracket angle. Apply a seal-
ing bead of gasket maker around switch housing to close
off any leak paths between the switch and bracket. Watch
for steam leaks from the cassette bay as they can cause
damage to the microswitch and other internal compo-
nents. Verify integrity of cassette seal steam ports and
probe bracket alignment (see page 12, 2.10 - Alignment
Tool (RPI Part #SCT052).
