Badger Meter Compound Series - Manual (Page 11)

Periodic Inspection
• Visually inspect the meter for missing hardware, loose screws, broken or scratched register lenses or any other signs of
wear or deterioration
• Verify that the meter is operating at the proper flow rate and pressure A loss in pressure, coupled with a decrease in flow
rate, may indicate that the screen in the upstream pipeline—or the meter itself—is clogged with foreign material and
needs cleaning
Cleaning
• Clean all dirt, grease, moisture or other foreign material from the exterior of the meter After cleaning, rinse thoroughly
with water
• In the event that system pressure has been reduced and the upstream filter or meter is clogged, the foreign material
must be flushed out To flush the screen, open the cleanout plug and purge the foreign material with fresh water from
the service line If cleaning the screen does not restore system pressure, the compound meter also should be flushed by
purging with fresh service water through the cleanout plugs located on the housing
