Air and fluid hoses: use only grounded hoses.
Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions.
Fluid supply container: follow local code.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure: hold metal part of the dispense
valve firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then
trigger the valve.
Installation
Factory Settings
The meter is factory calibrated for 10W-30 oil, and the

• Press any button on the keypad to wake up the dig-
ital display. The amount displayed is the value
stored when the meter went into sleep mode.
FIG. 2: Example of Total for Last Dispense Cycle
• Dispense fluid through the meter to wake up the
digital display. Dispensing fluid through the meter
causes the meter to count up from the last dis-
played value. See Fig. 2.
Function of TOTAL
Press and hold the TOTAL key to see the accumulated
total of fluid dispensed through the meter.
The accumulated total is shown in gallons when the unit
of measurement is set in gallons, quarts, or pints. The
accumulated total is shown in liters when the measurement is set in liters. The meter accumulates a running
total of up to 99,999 gallons (or liters) dispensed before
returning to zero. See Fig. 3.
