INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Your system must be installed on a vented tank. If the
tank is unvented, your local dealer or distributor can
supply a pressure cap.
If the meter is located in a rigid piping system where the
fluid is trapped (for example, by gravity, valves or
nozzles) thermal expansion of the fluid can create pressure spikes that can
damage a meter. Install a thermal relief valve or otherwise allow for thermal
expansion of the fluid.
Before Installing
NOTE: All threaded fuel connections must be sealed with thread tape or a
pipe thread sealing compound approved for use with petroleum fuels and
tightened securely to prevent leakage.
Before installing your meter, review the safety instructions in the
General
Safety Instructions
section at front of manual. Examine your meter to
make sure there are no visible signs of shipment damage. Plan your meter
installation by reviewing the following procedures. Prior to installation,
determine the orientation of the meter body required for the system. The
arrows on the housing are there to indicate flow direction and assist in this
process (see Figure 2).
