Before reassembly, note there are weep holes on each rotor support. These weep holes must be facing down toward the bottom of
the meter body when installed.
The meter must be reassembled with the arrowheads on the rotor pointed in the direction of fluid flow The magnetic pickup
side of the body signifies the up position This is the position that the repair kit was calibrated, and this is the position to be
used to ensure meter accuracy Due to the polished surfaces, there are no arrows on the rotor support to indicate which rotor
support is to be placed upstream or downstream Please install the repair kit as it was received in the box, using the arrow on
the rotor to determine the placement of the rotor support
