● Cleaning(degreasing)
Steam clean the adherent surfaces using acetate or ether, or clean them using an alkaline
detergent.
Do not use gasoline or kerosene.
● Drying
Dry with clean compressed air or air dry at room temperature. Improper drying will cause poor
bonding effect of the adhesive.

Spray a light coat of “LOCTITE PRIMER T” curing-accelerating agent to the adherent
surfaces.
Leave them for 3 to 5 minutes for drying.
● Applyinganadhesive
Apply a small amount of adhesive (LOCTITE#271 or equivalent) to the two or three threads of
the spool from its inlet. Use caution not to allow the adhesive-coated area to come in contact
with the spring seat.
