(b) Make sure that meter socket is mounted securely in place and in a
position that the rotor shaft will be vertical when meter is mounted.
(c) TO ground meter frame and surge protectors (if present), good contact
between ground straps and socket rim must be ensured. To ensure good ground,
scrape off any paint between straps and socket rim at points of contact before

instructions for particular type of end device being operated by the pulse
initiator.
1.1.3.2 Bottom-Connected A-Type Meters.  These meters have mounting and
terminal chamber dimensions that conform to industry standards.  Therefore,
mounts for bottom-connected A-type meters are interchangeable with all brands
