5. Turn the release lever (9) until the lever arm drops.
Insert a flow measurement disk (any size) with
number side down by first removing the plastic ring
retainer (3), inserting the disk and replacing the ring
retainer with the disk in place.
6. Manually press the closure plate (5) against the disk
and turn the release lever back to hold. Test by
carefully and slowly moving the release lever
forward until the closure plate falls without vibration
into a vertical position.
Note: The closure plate should gently fall into a
vertical position without vibration. Change the
tension on the screw (14) to adjust — "in" to stop
sooner or "out" to stop later.
7. Move the funnel down until it is about 2 cm above
the top of the cylinder. It is important that this
dimension be maintained for a given test.
