Centerline Component Installation

All gun block parts must be clean and free of damage before installation.

2.Ensure internal mixing chamber parts are in place.

3.Insert chamber into gun block. Align key- way in chamber with pin protruding from top of hole in block.

5.Thread felt wiper assembly into back of mixing chamber. Do not tighten.
