11. There is a drain hole at the base of the instrument with a gauze covering that might
require periodic cleaning. Carefully lift out the tipping bucket assembly to gain
access to the drain hole for checking/cleaning.
12. Carefully re-assemble the Rain gauge parts. When assembling the funnel to the
base assembly check that the internal funnel does not foul onto the tipping bucket.
This can be checked by pouring in water and checking the bucket tips or if the
whole assembly is not fixed in position by gently rocking the bucket and listening
for the bucket to tip.
13. Internal parts require no lubrication.
NOTES
MetPak RG is supplied with a matching Rain Gauge and its tip calibration factors
will have been pre-programmed into the MetPak hub box. If a replacement or re-
calibrated Rain Gauge is used then the Hub box will need programming using
MetSet with the new tip calibration factor if this has changed.
Calibration figures can be seen on the labels inside the Rain Gauge on the
underneath of the bucket and adjacent to the tip assembly.
