Installation
Pre-Installation Procedure
1. Relieve the system pressure:
a. Turn off the power supply to the pump or close the
shutoff valve.
b. Dispense any fluid in the system into a waste
container by opening the dispense valve.
c. Open all bleed-type master air valves and fluid
drain valves in the system.
d. Leave the drain valve open until ready to
pressurize the system.
2. Close the shutoff valve.
3. Ground hoses and reels:
Grounding reduces the risk of static sparking;
ground all system components according to local,
state, and federal code. Consult the user's manual
of the pump and other system components to
ground the following:
i. Pump: follow manufacturer's recommendations
ii. Air and Fluid Hoses: use only grounded hoses
iii. Air Compressor: follow manufacturers
recommendations
iv. Fluid Supply Container: Follow the local code
Do not use Teflon
®
tape on pipe joints; it may cause a
loss of grounding across the joint.
Installation Procedure
1.
If this is an existing installation, go directly to step 6.
Steps 2 through 5 are for flushing the system prior to
installing the meter.
2.
Close fluid dispense valves at every dispense position.
3.
Once the main fluid outlet valve at the pump is
closed, the air pressure to the pump motor is
properly adjusted, and the air valve is open, slowly
open the main fluid valve.
4.
Place the hose end in a waste container. Make sure
hose is secure so no fluid will leak during flushing.
5.
Slowly open the dispense valve and allow enough oil
to pass through to ensure that the system is clean.
Close the valve and repeat for all dispense positions.
Note: If the system has multiple dispense positions,
begin at the position farthest from the pump, and
move towards the pump.
6.
Relieve the Pressure (see Relieve the System
Pressure, above).
7.
Insert the metal end of the hose into the swivel
located at the end of the handle, and tighten
completely with an open ended, adjustable wrench.
Attaching the hose
Note: The threaded end of the meter will always have
female threads, so the metal end of the hose must
have male threads. Apply thread sealant to the male
end. The inlet and outlet connections are both 1/2"
NPT or 1/2" BSPP depending on meter model.
8.
Thread the new nozzle onto the opposite end of the
meter and screw in tightly with an open ended,
adjustable wrench.
Installing the nozzle
9.
Open all dispense position shut-off valves, and start
the pump to pressurize the system.
10. To ensure accuracy, purge all air from the fluid lines
and dispense valve before use.
Operating the Meter
Manual Mode
1. Program the meter to manual mode by selecting
option ‘0’ in the batch-programming mode. (See

2. Pull the trigger to begin the flow.
3. When the desired amount has been pumped,
release the trigger to stop the flow. Press
