1.1. GENERAL
These instructions are for servicing the Series 7887 Meter Registers.
Every Meter Register is thoroughly tested at the meter factory when installed on the meter. However,
like any precision mechanism, it requires periodic care to ensure maximum service. This manual is for
use in areas where factory rebuilding facilities and adequate exchange stocks are not readily
accessible.
Where manufacturer's replacement stocks are available, it is important that no attempt be made to
repair any meter register defective within the terms of the warranty as by doing so, the warranty is void
and the user is deprived of the protection provided by the warranty. It is recommended that, when
possible, meter registers be replaced and the defective unit returned to the meter manufacturer.
Table 1 is used to assist in locating problems and making repairs and corrections. In some problems,
similar defects can be produced by several causes of an entirely different nature. Cause of the trouble
must be determined and the correction made.
