SERVICING SERVICING SERVICING SERVICING SERVICING
Flow meter problems can be caused by improperly
filtered fluid. Particulates in the fluid can cause
gear binding, resulting in improper signals for the
actual flow rate. Maintain the fluid filters according
to the instructions from the filter manufacturer. If
repeated disassembly and cleaning for removal of
solids and particulates occurs, inspect the entire
fluid supply system and evaluate the system
cleaning cycle.
Fluid back-up, that is reverse flow of 2k
components, can cause reacted/catalyzed
material to enter the flow meter. Reverse flow
must be detected by the 2k controls and the
system must shut down. The flow meter should be
cleaned immediately, before the fluid sets-up.

> >> > > Do not pry the halves of the flow meter
body apart using screwdrivers or other pry
tools. (This could damage the flow meter
shaft and bushings, destoying the flow meter.)
If the body does not separate easily, replace
two (2) of the bolts near the sensor holes and
only screw them in two or three threads in the
bottom half of the body. Then, hold the top
half of the body in your hand and tap on the
bolt heads using a soft headed hammer to jar
the body halves apart.
