•Extract the rotor paying attention to use the free hand to guide the rotor and control the
lateral vanes movement. Don't dismount the manifold unless there are product losses or
breakings.
4.1.2 Rotor disassembling
NOTE: Never remove the vanes unless they are damaged. If it is necessary to remove the
vanes, before proceeding mark the position of the four vanes that correspond with
the position in the rotor: that will ease the reassambly procedure. Vanes are not
interchangeable and, if they can be reused, they must be placed in their original
position.
•Remove the split pin placed in the opposite side of the adjusting screws.
•Remove the vane and the two washers.
•Remove the remaining vane-rods assembly.
CAUTION: Don't remove or loosen the the vanes adjusting nuts, since that would vary the
clearance between the vanes and the measuring chamber, causing loss of
performance and/or meter failure.
4.2 Assembly
Before assembly, clean and inspect all parts for any visual damage. Ensure that all o-ring
grooves are clean and undamaged. Examine the O-Rings and ensure that they are not
damaged or swollen, replace them if necessary. Examine graphite bushes on rotor assembly
for free rotation and play, replace them if either is apparent. Examine each vane assembly
for damage or wear, replace vane(s) if either is apparent. Examine gland seal rings in rotor
assembly for damage or wear and replace if either is apparent.
The assembly procedure is the reversal of the dismantling procedure; only for installation of
the internal body special precautions should be taken to match the centering cap of the
external body's front cover.
4.3 Storing
•if after a working period it is foreseen to stop the meter for a long time, drain the meter
and its accessories;
•If the meter or the equipment of the system are not immediately used, or if it is withdrawn
from service and stored, it is important to follow next instructions :
- fill the meter and its accessories with clean kerosene or lubricated oil and close
its ends with blind flanges;
- fill the carter containing the calibrating mechanism with oil till the sight glass is
reached (see chap.4.4).
•adequately protect counters against rain and dust, with damp-proof caps.
4.4 Calibrating mechanism (only for mechanical counter)
The calibrating mechanism comprises a train of gears which transmit movement of the rotor
to the counter. Operational failures of the mechanism are rare and they generally regard the
breaking of tension pin, due to an excessive strain.
It is recommended to repair without varying the calibrating adjustment.
CAUTION: do not remove the shimming washers between the frame and the bearing of the
mechanism box.
