Inspection

Inspect all components of the contents indicator weight scale mechanism for any
noticeable signs of wear. Thoroughly inspect the spring rod for signs of excessive wear.
Replace components as necessary.

Reassembly

Reassemble the contents indicator weight scale mechanism by reversing the disassembly
procedure (Section 5.5.2). Lubricate the O-ring in the base of the indicator with a small
amount of Krytox grease. This allows the helix to easily rotate in the indicator.

Installation

Install the contents indicator weight scale mechanism by reversing the removal
procedure (Section 5.5.1). Be sure to put the weight scale mechanism in the proper
orientation. The slotted hole in the mounting bracket should be next to the flow control
valve.
