Changing a paddlewheel
To change a paddlewheel, refer to the ST40 Speed transducer illustration, and:
1. Use the new paddlewheel shaft from the spare parts kit to push out the old
shaft (1) approximately 5 mm (1/4 inch).
2. Grasp the end of the old shaft (1) with pliers and pull it straight out, to release the
paddlewheel (2).
3. Place the new paddlewheel (2) in the insert assembly cavity.
