MTU Instruction for Actaris/Sprague/Schlumberger Gas Meters Tools Required PRELIMINARY To mount the MTU to these meters, you will need the following tools and equipment: • Safety glasses • Phillips screwdriver • Slotted screwdriver Installation Procedure Before installing the MTU, all anti-tamper, safety, and security hardware must be removed from the clear register cover. Step 1 - Remove the existing clear register cover by removing the three screws that hold it. Set the cover aside and discard the screws. Step 2 - Remove the register by removing the two screws that hold it. Set the register aside and discard the screws. Step 3 – Next, mount the register onto the MTU (see illustration below) fastening the register to the MTU with the #10 x 3/8” screws provided. Start the two screws into the mounting holes, and then slide the register beneath the screws, making sure that the wiggler on the register is aligned with the MTU coupler. Tighten both screws to a torque not to exceed 3-5 inch-pounds. CAUTION! Do not over tighten screws. Excessive torque may damage the MTU enclosure. Use of power tools is not recommended. Step 4 – Check that the register is properly engaged by rotating the coupler on the back of the MTU and observing the register dials. Step 5 – Next, Insert the three 10-24 x 2” machine screws through the holes on the register cover and MTU as shown below.
