Mag-FLEX Installation And Handling Procedure
Probe Installation Requirements
The instructions herein are intended as reference material only, the Gilbarco Veeder-Root
training modules contain comprehensive information and must be completed before any
installation work is attempted - contact Gilbarco Veeder-Root for details.
Installation requires a minimum of two people to allow correct handling of the probe. Please note that the flexible
and therefore fragile nature of the Mag-FLEX probe makes it more prone to mechanical shock. The probe must not
be unpacked until it has been brought to its place of installation and where possible unpacked at the Tank top. The
probe corrugated shaft is supplied in a 1 meter diameter coil this coil MUST not be reduced in size. The packaged
curve is the maximum bend possible to prevent damage.

PROBE ASSEMBLY
