METER MAINTENANCE

The only suggested maintenance is to annually remove the meter from the
water line and gently back flush the meter to remove particles that may have

been trapped by the strainer. Back flushing is running the water into the

meter from the outlet side instead of the normal flow direction. If some

unusual evidence of meter performance is observed during maintenance,
please contact the factory.

A broken tamperproof wire & seal indicates the meter has been

disassembled.
