MAINTENANCE
Proper handling and care will extend the life and
service of the meter.
Turbine Rotor
The meter is virtually maintenance-free. However, it is
important the rotor moves freely. Keep the meter clean
and free of contaminants.
If the rotor does not turn freely, apply a penetrating
lubricant on the rotor, shaft, and bearings. Remove any
debris or deposits from the rotor using a soft brush or
small probe. Be careful not to damage the turbine rotor
or supports.
Battery Replacement
The meter is powered by two AAA alkaline batteries
which may be replaced while the meter is installed.
When batteries are removed or lose power, the batch
and cumulative totals reset to zero but the factory
calibration is retained.
Batteries included.
