the avoidance of such hazards is strictly in the hands of

SAFETY PROCEDURES:
Remember to relieve internal pressure before
disassembly or inspection of the strainer, vapor eliminator,
valves, POD pulser, and the front or rear covers. See
“Meter Maintenance” on Page 15 for the steps to relieve
internal pressure in your system.
BE PREPARED:
•
Make sure that all necessary safety precautions have
been taken. Provide for proper ventilation,

extinguishers for your product. Consult with your local
fire department, state, and local codes to make sure
