Call factoryfor Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and return instructions.THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING WORK.1) Inspect meter for damage that may have occurred during shipping.Report any damage to the container to the freight carrierimmediately.2) Make sure your pressure, temperature, fluid and other requirementsare compatible with the meter (including o-rings.)3) Select a suitable location for installation to prevent excess stress onthe meter which may result from:a) Misaligned pipe.b) The weight of related plumbing.c) “Water Hammer” which is most likely to occur when flow issuddenly stopped as with quick closing solenoid operated valves.(If necessary, a surge chamber should be installed. This will alsobe useful in pressure start-up situations.)d) Thermal expansion of liquid in a stagnated or valveisolated system.e) Instantaneous pressurization which will stress the meter andcould result in tube failure.NOTE: In closed thermal transfer or cooling systems, install the meterin the cool side of the line to minimize meter expansion and contrac-tion and possible fluid leaks at the threaded connections.4) Handle the meter carefully during installation.a) Use an appropriate amount of teflon tape on external pipethreads before making connections. Do not use paste or sticktype thread sealing products.5) Install the meter vertically with the inlet port at the bottom.6) Meters with stainless steel fittings will support several feet of pipeas long as significant vibration or stress resulting from misalignedpipe are not factors.ADDITIONALLY7310 Series meters are designed for vertical installation only.
