Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the fluid(s) used in the instrument. This is

2-4 Transit Precautions
To safeguard against damage during transit, transport the instrument to the
installation site in the same container used for transportation from the
factory if circumstances permit.
2-5 Installation
A. Location
For proper operation the Model 1358 must be mounted within 6 degrees of
true vertical. The inlet connection to the flowmeter is in the bottom end
fitting. The connections are normally horizontal female NPT. The use of a
level is recommended to assure vertical positioning. Piping must be
adequately supported to prevent undue strain on the flowmeter.
B. Piping Arrangement
It is recommended that bypass piping be installed around the flowmeter so
it may be isolated from the process line for servicing and cleaning. Refer to
Figure 2-1 for a typical installation.
CAUTION !
Do not allow the float to fall out of the metering tube. A damaged Float
will affect the accuracy of the meter. Be careful not to break the tube
by pulling on it at an extreme angle or applying excessive force.
