General
1 This section details procedures for disassembly and assembly of the Vector 70/70H head. Reference is
made in the procedures to figures in Section 6 - Illustrated Parts List.
2 The head is constructed from precision components, many of which are of aluminium alloy. Several of
the assembly procedures require the use of special tools and specific sealants, adhesives or lubricants. It is
advised that only experienced and properly equipped personnel with access to all necessary tools and
materials should attempt to overhaul, repair or replace components on these heads. The tools and
consumable materials required for work on Vector 70 heads are listed in Section 3 - Tools and Materials.
