Once the lifting operation is complete, reattach and secure the electronics cable to J3 on the
Acquisition Module, return the electronics enclosure to its original position, replace the bolts, and
secure the enclosure in place. Lifting the meter with the upper enclosure installed but with out the
bolts installed, may cause the electronics to fall and cause personal injury or equipment damage.

10. NEVER apply shock loads to the meter. Always lift the meter gradually. If shock loading
ever occurs, the hoist ring must be inspected per manufacturer's recommendations
prior to be placed in any further service. If a proper inspection cannot be performed,
discard the hoist ring.
11. NEVER lift with any device, such as hooks, chains, or cables that could create side pulls
that could damage the ring of the hoist ring.
12. NEVER lift more than the ultrasonic meter assembly including electronics and
transducers with the hoist rings. The only exception is that it is safe to lift the meter
with one ASME B16.5 or ASME B16.47 blind flange bolted to each end flange of the
meter. NEVER use the hoist rings on the meter to lift other components such as meter
tubes, piping or fittings attached to the meter. Doing so will exceed the load rating of
the hoist rings.
13. Remove the hoist rings from the meter after lifting is completed and store them in an
appropriate case or container per their manufacturer's recommendation.
14. Apply heavy lubricant or anti-seize to the threads of the plug bolts and reinstall the plug
bolts to keep the tapped holes free of debris and to prevent corrosion.
