feeler gauge to check for gaps between the post and
gear plates and housing. If you do find gaps, check the
plates for flatness with a straight edge. Gaps can be
caused by shock problems that must be resolved. Con-
tact your full service distributor, or the Service Depart-
ment at TUTHILL meters for assistance if this occurs.

must be verified and resolved. Contact your full service
distributor, or the Service Department at TUTHILL me-
ters for assistance if this occurs.

flatness. Use a straight edge. Warped plates can be
caused by hydraulic shock problems that must be re-
solved. Contact your full service distributor, or the Ser-
vice Department at TUTHILL meters for assistance if
this occurs.
