1. Loosen the rod with a fork wrench applied to the flat surface,
provide counterforce with another fork wrench.
2. Screw out the loosened measuring rod by hand.
3. Apply a small amount of acid-free grease to the thinner neck of
the base rod.
4. Insert the new measuring rod carefully by hand with a screwing
motion into the opening of the process fitting.
5. Continue screwing in the rod manually into the opening of the pro-
cess fitting.
6. Exert counterforce with a fork spanner on the hexagon of the pro-
cess fitting and tighten the rod on the flat surfaces with a second
fork spanner (SW 10) with a torque of 10 Nm (7.37 lbf ft).
Tip:
Please maintain the specified torque so that the max. tensile strength
remains.
