2. Mount AMR transmitter onto gas meter.

Remove index cover

1. Use the flat screwdriver to punch out the seals that cover the four (4) index

cover screws.

2. Remove and properly dispose the four (4) screws holding the index cover

onto meter, with flat screwdriver. If two (2) or more screws shear off during

the cover removal (or were previously sheared off), the meter will need to be

replaced by a qualified utility representative. Reinstall any index cover

screws that were removed and cap with seals if possible. Enter the

appropriate information in the Mint HHT and skip to the next work order.

3. Remove the index and carefully clean any debris from it. Inspect for proper

index operation by turning the input shaft and verifying that the gearing turns

freely. Also, inspect the index for any missing or broken hands.

4. With a putty knife, scrap away any gasket material that remained on the

meter when the index cover was removed.

5. Remove the index and index cover and place on a clean surface near you for

reinstallation later.
