7.5.4 Replacing the sensor
The sensor for the flowmeter is a sensitive instrument that should not be removed unless
there is a problem with it. If you must replace the sensor, follow these procedures closely.
The flowmeter sensor is extremely reliable, so it ordinarily does not need to be replaced.
Please consult the factory before removing the sensor.
Note
Be sure to fully check all other troubleshooting possibilities before removing the sensor.
Do not remove the sensor unless it is determined that a problem exists with the sensor
itself. The sensor may not fit on the post if it is removed and replaced more than two or
three times, or replaced incorrectly.
Also, please note that the sensor is a complete assembly and cannot be further
disassembled.
