The  flowmeter  must  be  installed  in  the  boom  supply  line 

after  any  strainers,  return  lines,  or  valves,  but  before  the 

boom shut-off valves. Se cure ly mount flow me ter (hardware 

not  supplied)  in  a  vertical  position  in  an  area  away  from 

in tense vibration. 

dO NOT

 install flowmeter closer than 12” 

to  the  servo  valve  or  the  boom  shut-off  valves. 

(the  flow­

me ter  may  need  periodic  cleaning,  so  it  should  be  easy  to 

remove.)

 The flow meter is a bidirectional meter 

(exception: 

Polmac’s 1 ½” ­ 3”). 

 Liquid can flow in either direction, but 

up is preferred.  Make con nec tions us ing 3/4” fit tings without 

the use of reducers, elbows or sharp bends for a minimum of 

six inches (15 cm) either side of meter. See Illustration 11.

nOte: Save plastic plugs to protect flowmeter during 

storage.

Installing Flow Sensor Cable

With  the  flowmeter  in  place,  install  the  flow  sensor  cable 

(GREEN body). 

See illustration 12.

Screw sensor all the way into hole of flow me ter. Tight en 3/8” 

jam nut to lock sen sor in place. 
Uncoil  flow  sensor  cable  and  carefully  route  it  to  meet 

the  module  flow  cable  connector  marked  with  GREEN  tie. 

Align  connectors  and  press  firmly  together  until  locking 

tab  clicks  into  place.  Secure  cable  with  ties  provided.
