HOISTING AND LIFTING HAZARD
Lifting a Daniel Ultrasonic Meter with Other Equipment
The following lifting instructions are for installation and removal of the Daniel Ultrasonic
Meter ONLY. The instructions below do not address lifting the Daniel ultrasonic meter while it
is attached, bolted, or welded to meter tubes, piping, or other fittings.
Using these instructions to maneuver the Daniel Ultrasonic Meter while it is still attached,
bolted, or welded to a meter tube, piping, or other fitting may result in equipment damage,
serious injury, or death.
The operator must refer to their company's hoisting and rigging standards, or the "DOE-STD-
1090-2004 Hoisting and Rigging" standard if such company standards do not exist, for lifting
and maneuvering any assembled meter tube and associated piping.
CRUSHING HAZARD
During meter installation or removal, always place the unit on a stable platform or
surface that supports its assembled weight.
Failure to do so could allow the meter to roll, resulting in serious injury or equipment damage.
Prior to lifting the unit, refer to the Daniel 3814 Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter nameplate or
outline dimensional (general arrangement) drawing for the assembled weight.
