UNPACKING & INSPECTION
Upon opening the shipping container, visually inspect the product and applicable
accessories for any physical damage such as scratches, loose or broken parts, or any other
sign of damage that may have occurred during shipment.

delivery and file a claim with the carrier. A claim for equipment damage in transit
is the sole responsibility of the purchaser.
INTRODUCTION
The FloClean turbine flow meter is designed with wear resistant moving parts to provide
trouble free operation and long service life. The kit allows easy field repair of a damaged
flow meter, rather than replacing the entire flow meter. Repair parts are constructed of
stainless steel alloy and tungsten carbide.
Each FloClean repair kit is factory calibrated for accuracy throughout the entire flow range.
Each kit is complete and includes a new K-factor, which is the calibrated number of pulses
generated by each gallon of liquid. This K-factor is used to recalibrate the monitor or other
electronics to provide accurate output data.

Disassembly
See Figure 1 for relative positions of repair kit components.
1. Remove the magnetic pickup from the meter body to avoid damage during repair.
2. Remove the retaining ring from one end of the meter.
3. Remove the rotor support from the body. If the rotor support is jammed in the body,
use a pair of pliers or vice grips to break the rotor support free.
4. Remove the rotor assembly.
5. Remove the second retaining ring from the opposite side of the meter.
6. Remove the remaining rotor support from the body. If the rotor support is jammed in
the body, use a pair of pliers or vice grips to break the rotor support free.
7. Discard rotor, rotor supports, thrust balls and retaining rings.

Turbine Meter Removal
Cleaning
See Figure 1 on page 5 for pictorial view.
1. Remove the magnetic pickup from the meter body to avoid damage during procedure.
2. Remove the retaining ring from one end of the meter.
3. Keeping the meter upright (pickup port at the top), remove the rotor support from the
body taking care not to rotate it in the process. If the rotor support is jammed in the
body, use a pair of pliers or vice grips to break it free.
4. Hold the rotor support over a suitable container and rotate it 180°; the thrust ball will
drop out. Take care not to lose the ball.
5. Remove the rotor assembly.
6. Remove the second retaining ring from the opposite side of the meter.
7. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining rotor support.
8. Identify parts and ow direction to match with original meter body.
9. Clean the meter to meet your standards before installation.

Installation
INSTALLATION
MPORTANTI
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 arrows 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 for 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. 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.
Each FloClean repair kit has been cleaned at the factory and handled with care. Clean the
meter to your standards before installation.
1. Drop a thrust ball into a rotor support through the hole provided in the side. Insert rotor
support into the meter body. Keep the thrust bearing hole pointed upwards to keep the
ball in place.
2. Secure a retaining ring in the groove provided. Be sure that the retaining ring is
completely installed in the groove.
3. Drop a thrust ball into second rotor support through the hole provided in the side.
Locate the rotor in the support sleeve bearing. Insert rotor support and rotor into the
meter body and the rst support sleeve bearing. Keep the thrust bearing hole pointed
upwards to keep the ball in place.
4. Secure the second retaining ring in the groove provided. Be sure that the retaining ring
is completely installed in the groove.
5. Check the meter by blowing air through the assembly. If the rotor does not turn freely,
the meter should be disassembled and checked for anything that would obstruct
movement of the rotor.
6. Install the magnetic pickup.
EXCESS AIR PRESSURE MAY DAMAGE THE ROTOR AND BEARINGS BY OVERSPINNING.
OTE:N The electronics will need recalibration after installation of the repair kit.
