While seldom necessary and not recommended for routine maintenance, the following will explain
the procedure in servicing the flowmeter, should it ever need cleaning. If you experience the
flowmeter's float [ball] beginning to stick during operation, you must clean the meter to regain
normal function. The flow tube and flowmeter body can best be cleaned with a little pure soap and
water. Remove the top fitting from the flowmeter. Remove and clean the ball. With a moist, but
not wet, long cotton swab clean the meter's flow tube. Place the ball back into the meter. Put a
small amount of petroleum jelly on the top fitting's "O" ring to maintain a good seal and secure the
fitting back onto the meter.
