Procedure for Calibration

  1. For the most accurate calibration, install the meter in the application. Fill a container to a known volume with the liquid to be measured.
  2. If indicated amount does not match known volume, insure pump is off and pressure relieved, then remove seal screw (item 23) and turn calibration screw (item 21) counterclockwise to reduce indicated amount or clockwise to increase the amount. A full turn will change the indicated amount by approximately 0.1 Gal. (0.4L). Reinstall seal screw.
  3. Repeat step 1 and 2 until calibration is acceptable.

Assembly/Disassembly

The meter consists of a chamber housing, measuring chamber, gear train, counter assembly and cover. Meter can be completely disassembled without disturbing piping.
Counter Assembly
For access to counter assembly, remove reset knob (item 3) by grasping edges and pulling firmly. Remove two screws (item 29) and lift counterface (item 2) and cover (item 1) off. Remove two screws (item 13) to extract counter (item 4). Reassemble by reversing procedure.
Meter Chamber Assembly
To expose meter chamber assembly, tilt the meter at least slightly face down, so that no parts fall out when removing meter housing. Remove the four screws (item 20), then remove meter housing (item 19). Meter chamber assembly consists of upper and lower chambers, a nutating disc and seal gasket. Reassemble by reversing the procedure. If the replacement of any components of the meter chamber assembly is required, the complete assembly must be replaced due to the precise method of its construction. This assures a proper fit and a correctly operating chamber.
Gear Train and Seal
To disassemble gear train and seal, remove gear frame (item 12) by prying slightly. Remove cluster gear (item 10) and washer (item 11) from shaft (item 9). Remove drive gear (item 8) and washers (item 7) by rotating and pulling drive gear. Remove O-ring seal (item 6). When reassembling seal, lubricate O-ring liberally with oil or petroleum jelly and replace in cover. Place washer on drive gear shaft. Carefully rotate and push shaft through O-ring and cover to prevent damage to O-ring. Shaft must then be guided into pinion bevel (item 28) if counter has not been removed. Replace remaining parts to complete assembly by reversing disassembly procedure.
Repair
Meters needing repair should be taken to an authorized repair shop for service. Meters must be thoroughly triple-rinsed before being taken in for repair.
PRIOR TO SERVICE, ADHERE TO FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Meters must be triple-rinsed and accompanied by a note indicating the chemicals which have been pumped through the unit. Meters not adhering to these specifications may be refused service.
