Do's & Don'ts; Piping Diagram - Max G004 Manual

Do's & Don'ts
DO:
• Install a bypass line around the meter
• Clean the filter on a regular basis
• Purge air from the meter before operating your system
(Flowing near the meters maximum flow rate for a
given viscosity will purge air bubbles. Tilting, tapping
or shaking the meter at lower flow rates will also
dislodge entrapped air)
