Binding and Interference
When assembling close tolerance machine parts, use extreme care in aligning
them for assembly. Do not force the parts together. If parts bind during
assembly, separate them and try again until they are successfully mated.
NOTE
It should never be necessary to force an assembly together.
Plunger material is strong, but brittle. Avoid dropping, sharp blows, or heavy
bending loads when working with these expensive parts.
Make sure all parts are clean, free of burrs, metal particles, dirt, dust, etc. Use
High Purity Goop (I-R Part 10084440), when assembling any high pressure
fitting.
After servicing any high pressure components, flush the high pressure water
system by operating the waterjet pump for a short period with the nozzle valve
open and no orifice in place. Next, shut down the waterjet pump, install an
orifice, and slowly increase the discharge water pressure in stages. Check all
high pressure connections for leaks.
Unusual requirements should be referred to the Technical Services group at
KMT Waterjet.
