If the current meter has a plug
at the sense hole, skip
to “Assemble Air Release” on page 5.

891-328C EL 45 7/16MORB X 1/4HB
Install it at the sense hole where the straight adaptor
was removed. Thread it in tightly, then turn it counter-
clockwise until the hose bar end is pointing forward
and slightly down.

Assemble Air Release
You can pre-assemble the new air release cone, or
assemble it on the meter, whichever seems more reliable
and efficient. The following steps describe pre-assembly.
Refer to Figure 9

817-964C LG AIR MTR SCREEN CONE HALF
and one each new:
891-295C AIR METER SD TB SCRN CONIC
Insert the screen
in one of the two cone
halves
, so that the flanged ring of the cone sits in
the neck groove
of the cone half.
Join the two cone halves
Refer to Figure 10
19. Select one new:
817-826C CLAMP HOSE NYLON GF MATRIX 192
(this is the largest of the three sizes of new clamp
provided)
Secure the clamp
cone halves
. Rotate the ratchet
over the seams, on either side, of the cone halves.
Tighten with pliers.

Equipment Damage Risk:
Take care to avoid damage to the exit lip of the screen
In particular, avoid bending the edge inward. Bends, tears and
fraying can result in bridging problems during use. Minimize
the number of attempts to assemble. Hold the assembly
carefully after assembly, as there is no positive connection
between the screen and cone halves - they are held in place by
clamps on the meter.
