Section 2: Installation Owner and operator manual
January 2015 3-9008-001 Rev M
• Confirm the Operating Wrench (2) operational clearances for the Plate Carrier (8DM or
8DMC) extraction, and meter tap equipment draw clearance.
• Check shipment to verify that the shipping kit contains an Operating Wrench (2),
Grease Gun (23), Indicator Plate (5A-marked “LH” for left-hand side operation) and
Indicator Pointer (5B).
• Install the Grease Gun(s) (23) into holes in the base of the Top (14) as stated below:
- Remove the plastic shipping plugs,
- Put thread sealer on the end threads of the Grease Gun Body (23) and tighten
securely.
- Check the accessibility to the Grease Gun(s) (23) after installation.
- Adjust the Senior’s position if required.
• Install the Indicator Pointer (5B) on to the Body (4) by tapping the two drive screws into
the holes located above the Slide Valve Shaft (5).
• Install the Indicator Plate (5A) on the Slide Valve Shaft (5), directly below the Indicator
Pointer (5B).
• Orient the Indicator Plate (5A-LH or 5A-RH), as stated below, depending on the shaft’s
left or right side location (The right hand and left hand Indicator Plates (5A-LH and 5A-
RH) are different and not interchangeable):
- Shaft on the left hand side facing with the flow (standard position): when the
shaft is rotated clockwise until it stops, the Indicator Plate (5A-LH) word OPEN
should appear below the Indicator Pointer (5B). Install the Indicator Plate (5A-
LH) on the shaft in this position and tighten the Set Screw (10G) securely.
- Shaft on the right hand side facing with the flow (reverse shafts): When the
shaft is rotated counterclockwise until it stops, the Indicator Plate (5A-RH)
word OPEN should appear below the Indicator Pointer (5B). Install the Indicator
Plate (5ARH) on the shaft in this position and tighten the Set Screw (10G)
securely.
- After installation, rotate the Slide Valve Shaft (5) until it stops. The word
CLOSED should appear below the Indicator Pointer (5B).
• Plate Carrier shipment verification
The Seniors leave the factory with the Plate Carriers (8DM or 8 DMC) in the Body (4) to
prevent the damage of the Plate Carrier (8DM or 8DMC) or the slide valve assembly
during transit. Whether or not the Senior arrives directly from the factory, installation
personnel must open the Top (14) and the Slide Valve Shaft (5) to ensure that the Plate
Carrier (8DM or 8DMC) is inside. The Plate Carrier (8DM or 8DMC) should be removed
before performing any tests.
