Figure 4. Disassembling the Meter
Removing the Boot
The standard Meter comes equipped with a snug-fitting yellow rubber boot. The
boot helps protect the Meter from rough handling and is normally left on the
Meter. The first step in disassembling the Meter is to remove the boot.
Use the following procedure to remove the boot:
1. Looking at the front of the Meter, place your thumbs on the top corners of the
boot and firmly grasp the Meter.
2. Using both thumbs, push the boot up and over both corners of the Meter.
3. Continue pushing on the boot until both of its inside corners are resting on top
of the Meter.
4. Now, rest the heel of one hand behind the display, and place all four fingers
of the same hand along the upper front edge of the boot.
5. Firmly grasp the Meter with the other hand, and using your fingers, peel the
boot over the top of the Meter.
6. Slide the Meter up and out of the boot.
