-
Thoroughly rinse and drain the entire spraying system.
-
Remove the flowmeter from the sprayer and flush it with clean water.
-
Remove the retainer ring on the upstream side (Figure 100).
-
Clean the turbine and the turbine hub to remove metal filings and any wettable powders.
-
Inspect the turbine blades for wear.
Note: Hold the turbine in your hand and spin it. It should spin freely with very little drag. If it does not spin freely, replace it.
-
Assemble the flowmeter.
-
Install the sensor until it gently touches the bottom of the housing.
-
Carefully tighten the sensor retaining nuts.
-
Use a low pressure (50 kPa or 5 psi) air jet to ensure that the turbine spins freely. If it does not spin freely, loosen the hex stud on the bottom of the turbine hub by 1/16 of a turn until the turbine spins freely.
