APCT-3 Run Procedure
APCT-3 Electronics APCT-3 Shoe
Tool assembly
Check pressure case and cutting shoe for damage. Ensure they are in good working order.
Check O-Rings on the case. Ensure they are not damaged. Apply a light coat of Dow Corning 111 grease to the O-Rings and install on the case. Ensure threads are clean and apply a light coat of Lubriplate No. 630-2 Multipurpose Grease P/N 07298.
Install electronics package into the pressure case using the installation tool. Apply a liberal amount of Thermal Joint Compound Type 120 from Wakefield Engineering to the temp sensor and install in the case.
