Operation
7.1
Using a check handle
A check handle is used in order to check that a gauge operates properly.
• Check gauge performance using the check handle only after filling the tank with
liquid.
• A check handle is not a float hoisting handle. Do not forcibly hoist the float using
the check handle.
Check handle operation procedure
1. Push in the check handle at the bottom of LT.
2. Return it to the left side when it points to 4 to 5 mm (0.16 to 0.20) above the
indicator on the scale plate, and let go of the check handle.
3. Check the LT indicator.
This completes the check handle operation process.

Using a hoist handle
7.2.1
Hoist handle (for LT5-1)
The hoist handle is used to hoist up the float when you are not measuring the surface
level. This helps to add life to LT when utilized for tanks with a stirrer and/or for tanks
containing corrosive liquid.
• Never let go of the hoist handle when hoisting or lowering the float. Letting go of
the hoist handle may cause the float to fall and damage LT.
• Do not continue to turn the handle once the float reaches the liquid surface.
• When the handle reaches the "A" position in Figure 50, the float is freed from the
handle. Remove the handle during the measurement process.
