Installation Manual ORION ENDPOINT ON THE GAS METER Use care when handling the ORION endpoint and Itron index to insure the drive pawls are not subjected to any physical abuse. Abuse may cause a spindle to become bent, misaligned or otherwise inoperative. 1. When mounting an ORION endpoint on a gas meter, make sure the endpoint drive pawl engages the gas meter drive pawl. These two drive pawls must mate without causing any binding or potential for disengagement. See Figure 14.
