Slowly open the valve to avoid pressure
surge.

Turn the tripod of the lock tool clockwise.

Turn the tripod of the lock tool to stop. The
tripod must be turned clockwise right to
the end. If this is not possible, the trans-
ducer may have knocked against an
edge on its way through the valve.

Use a spanner key to turn the screw nut
at the end of the mandrel 

 approx. 10

rounds clockwise

. When you 

feel a stop

,

the transducer has been correctly
mounted.
