which hold the tie plates (4) in place. Remove these four bolts and two tie plates.

3. Remove the four screws (5) which hold the support brackets (6) to the shield spacers (8). Remove brackets (6)

and the protective shield (7).

4. Remove inlet plug (24) allowing any oil remaining in the instrument to drain.

5. Remove the two hex nuts (22) from the lower end of the guide rod (18) and allow the guide support (21) to drop

from the inlet end fitting (32).

6. Remove the outlet end plug (10) and withdraw the guide rod support assembly (with float (19) attached).

CAUTION

The float is a precision manufactured part. Do not nick, drop or damage as meter accuracy

will be adversely affected. Protect it with suitable wrapping when removed.
