Probe Handle:

When the Flow Probe expansion joint becomes submerged, water enters the Probe handle. After use, dry the
Probe by separating the two handle sections, draining the water inside the Probe handle, and letting the han-
dle dry out in a warm place before reassembling. You can clean the Flow Probe handle with mild soap and
water. DO NOT submerge the top of the pole and the computer. Water may cause the computer
to short and a new computer will need to be purchased. If the computer gets wet- D R Y IMMEDIATELY
with a soft cloth. Take out the batteries and put the computer in a warm place overnight to dry.

Battery Replacement:

To replace battery, pull the computer holder unit from the top of the Flow Probe rod (the holder is connected
to the Probe by a jack and socket). The computer is connected to the holder by a tight fitting clip which
contains electrical connectors. Hold the computer holder in both hands and firmly push the bottom of the
computer up the slope of the holder until the computer pops off the holder (point the computer at a soft
object to protect the unit when it pops off). Pop open the battery compartment on the back of the computer
with a small screwdriver. Replace the battery with the "+" side up. Use a Radio Shack 675 HP battery, or the
equivalent. You can also obtain batteries from Global Water.

Propeller:

Make sure the Turbo Prop turns freely before and after your measurements. Blow on the prop in the direction
of flow. The prop should turn freely. If not, rinse the prop in clean water or soak it in mild soapy water and
remove any visible strings or hair materials from the prop bearing. To replace your prop, contact Global
Water to purchase a propeller kit.
