Installing Agitators

Agitators (A) need to be installed above each active meter inlet opening ONLY to keep product free flowing.

Agitators found above inactive meter segments should be deactivated by pulling spring locking pins (B).

Meter housing need not be removed to service agitators; however, tank will need to be empty.

Installing agitators is a two-person job, one person outside the tank to slide shaft from housing and one person inside tank to position and install agitators and hair pins.
