6. Troubleshooting

Due to the simple mechanical nature of these tools, extensive troubleshooting is generally not required.

• Tool does not fit valve: Ensure the correct size of the Water Meter Key head or the 4-Way Utility Key opening is selected for the specific valve or lock. Do not force the tool if it does not fit properly.
• Difficulty turning valve: Ensure the tool is fully engaged with the valve stem. If the valve is stiff, apply steady, increasing pressure. Do not use excessive force that could damage the valve or the tool.
