Mounting and Plumbing Flowmeter
The Flowmeter must be installed in the main boom
line after any strainers, return lines, or valves. Securely
mount flowmeter (hardware not supplied) in a vertical
position in an area away from intense vibration. DO
NOT install flowmeter closer than 12" to the servo
valve or the boom shut-off valves. The flow meter is a
bidirectional meter (exception: Polmac’s 1 1/2"–3").
Liquid can flow in either direction, but
up is preferred,
especially at rates below 5 GPM (19 lpm). Make con-
nections using appropriate fittings without the use of
reducers, elbows or sharp bends for a minimum of six
inches (15 cm) either side of meter.
See Illustration 7.
Save plastic plugs to protect flowmeter during
storage. (The flowmeter may need periodic cleaning,
so it should be easy to remove.)
