REMOVAL AND ATTACHMENT OF HORNS AND TIPS
To connect a horn to the convertor or a tip to a horn:
1. Thread by hand until all joints mate smoothly.
2. Tighten using wrenches as explained below, being sure to apply even and firm
pressure.
3. If resistance is met, avoid cross threading and rethread by hand.
4. Do NOT force the threads by wrenching.
To attach or remove a horn:
1. Insert the pin of a pin spanner wrench into one of the holes at the base of the horn.
2. Insert the pin of a second pin spanner wrench into one of the holes in the front driver
(black portion) of the convertor.
3. Apply even and firm pressure.
To attach or remove a Flat Tip, MICROTIP or Extender:
1. Insert the pin of a pin spanner wrench into one of the holes at the base of the horn.
2. Place the opening of the 7/16" open end wrench on the wrench flats of the Flat Tip,
MICROTIP or Extender.
3. Apply even and firm pressure.
CAUTION!!
An insufficiently tightened horn, probe or tip will inhibit tuning and might cause damage to
the generator circuitry or mating parts of the convertor and horn. NEVER assemble or
disassemble the probe by holding the convertor in a vise. Always use the tools provided
and place a firm mat or towel underneath the convertor and horn to prevent slippage or
damage. Avoid pressing the sides of a MICROTIP or Extender down into a counter top
when tightening or removing.
A loud, high piercing sound emanating from the horn or probe indicates that one of the
components is loose or possibly cracked. STOP processing immediately. Turn off the
generator and check the tightness of the horn to the convertor, and the tip or probe to the
horn if applicable. Retune the generator and try running the unit again. If the loud noise
persists, or if you have difficulty tuning the unit, then contact MISONIX for assistance.
