9.4 Mechanical assembly
Protection for rotor blades from rough handling as blade position is critical to turbine
meter performance.
Use appropriate torque values to reinstall the shaft nut and to avoid equipment damage or
inaccurate turbine meter operation.
Important
The shaft nut can only be reused up to five times. Replace as needed.
