    Important: When mounting the flow meter, you must take great care that the seals are not damaged and correctly placed in the hydraulic connections of the flow meter. Wrongly installed or damaged seals lead to leakage and to an leaky system, which may have dire consequences. Please make sure that flow meters with EPDM seals do not come into contact with oil and greases on a mineral oil basis.
