CAUTION
If the hex clamp nut has not been loosened or the pointer removed according to step 2, attempting to remove the
controller/transmitter from the sensor may bend the flapper or rotary shaft. Be careful that the back of the
controller/transmitter case or the heat insulator does not drop down and bend the rotary shaft or shaft extension.
3. Remove any insulating tape from the joint between the controller/transmitter case and the torque tube arm.

WARNING
To avoid personal injury from contact with the process fluid, lower the vessel fluid level below the torque‐tube arm before
proceeding. For closed vessels, release any pressure that may be above the fluid. Also, be careful to avoid overloading a
thin‐wall torque tube with an overweight displacer.
