1.Disconnect all hoses and remove sprayhead from the sprayer. Plug all free ends of hydraulic hoses on the sprayer and all ports on the hydraulic motor.

2.Remove atomiser (1) by unscrewing screw (7).

3.Remove frontplate (10) complete with distributor (15) by unscrewing twelve screws, nuts and washers (2,8,4) and four screws, nuts and washers (6,8,4).

4.Separate feed tube (34) from straight connection (27) fitted in the distributor by pushing down on the top of the straight connector and pulling the feed tube out of it.

5.Lift the front plate complete with distributor free of the main body and put to one side.

6.Remove front shaft (14) and fan (21) from the main unit by undoing four capscrews and washers (39,3). These two parts should be only a sliding fit on the hub (12) and can be removed easily. (If the front shaft proves difficult to remove then a very long M6 setscrew (or piece of M6 threaded bar) can be used as a puller by screwing into the end of the front shaft and reacting against the end of the screw (33) inside the hub).

7.Remove two off drive pins (40) and two pairs of lock washers (41).

8.Next remove the hub (12) from the bearing by unscrewing the four grubscrews (13) and pulling the hub off by hand, or with the aid of a universal bearing puller.

9.Remove the hydraulic motor (22) complete with bearing (23) and shaft extension (42) by undoing four screws, nuts and washers (6,8,4).

10.The bearing (10) can be removed from the motor by the use of a brass or aluminium drift or a universal bearing puller. The bearing should only be removed if it requires replacement.

11.The shaft extension (42) can be removed from the motor by removing the capscrew (33), lock washer pair (37) and plain washer (38). The shaft extension can be removed using either a suitable brass or aluminium drift or a small universal bearing puller. Take care to retain the key in the motor shaft for future use. The shaft extension should only be removed if it is either to be replaced or if maintainence is necessary on the hydraulic motor involving the removal of the hydraulic motor main shaft.

12.The motor support bracket (31) and rear guard (36) can now be removed if necessary by undoing all remaining M6 screws and nuts (8,6,4,2).

Turbofan specifications

Micron Technology has made significant strides in the field of advanced aerospace engineering with the introduction of its Turbofan engine technology. This cutting-edge development is designed to enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and improve overall performance in modern aircraft. The Turbofan serves as a testament to Micron's commitment to innovation and sustainability within the aviation industry.

One of the main features of the Micron Technology Turbofan is its emphasis on fuel efficiency. The engine incorporates state-of-the-art aerodynamics, allowing it to achieve a higher bypass ratio compared to traditional jet engines. This design leads to less fuel consumption and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, making it an environmentally friendly alternative.

In terms of technology, Micron has integrated advanced materials and manufacturing techniques into the Turbofan design. The use of lightweight composite materials contributes to an overall decrease in engine weight, which in turn enhances aircraft performance. Furthermore, additive manufacturing processes allow for the production of complex engine components that would be difficult to achieve using conventional methods, resulting in improved durability and efficiency.

The Turbofan is equipped with innovative noise reduction technologies as well. This includes advanced acoustic lining within the engine and optimized fan blade design, which work together to minimize noise levels during takeoff and landing. As a result, the Turbofan is well-suited for use in urban environments, where noise pollution is a growing concern.

Another significant characteristic of the Micron Turbofan is its modular design. This allows for easier maintenance and scalability, making it adaptable for various aircraft models. By reducing downtime for repairs and facilitating upgrades, Micron enhances the operational efficiency of airlines and other operators.

Additionally, the Turbofan incorporates smart technology features such as real-time performance monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities. These features enable proactive decision-making and help to extend the lifespan of the engine, ensuring a reliable and cost-effective solution for operators.

In conclusion, Micron Technology's Turbofan represents a pivotal advancement in aviation technology, combining fuel efficiency, noise reduction, and innovative materials with smart engineering solutions. As the industry moves towards more sustainable aviation practices, this engine sets a new standard for performance and environmental responsibility.
