Removing Metershaft Assembly

1.

Ensure that the bin is empty before
attempting to remove the metershaft
assembly.

2.

Undo the 2 captive nuts on the left
hand side of the meterbox using the
Tee wrench supplied.

3.

Use  the  tapered  end  of  the  Tee
wrench’s  handle  to  release  the
metershaft  assembly  seal  against  the
side of the meterbox.

Fig. M13 Tee wrench releasing seal pressure.

4.

Grip the handle and pull the metershaft
assembly  outwards.  The  assembly
should slide out freely. If the assembly
jams  or  is  hard  to  remove  check  that
the  diverter  blades  are  not  restricting
movement  and  release  the  trapdoor
handle  to  reduce  pressure  under  the
metershaft assembly.

Fig. M14 Removing the metershaft assembly.

Assembly is a reversal of this procedure.

Note: When refitting the metershaft
assembly check that:



The metershaft nose bearing has been
greased

(refer page 113).



The drive pin has engaged correctly.



The diverter blades are still in the
same position as required.

Fig. M15 Ensure Drive pins & metershaft pin
miss each other when engaging.

Removing Meterwheels

1.

Remove metershaft assembly from
meterbox as previously described.

2.

Clean

metershaft

assembly.

If

necessary use a high-pressure wash
with detergent.

Note: Take care not to spray water directly at the
bearings and shaft seal.

3.

Undo the 2 grub screws in the collar of
pillow block bearing (handle end) that
retain

the

metershaft.

Note

the

distance that the end of the shaft is in
the bearing. In most cases the shaft
will be flush with the end of the bearing
collar.
