Recalibration
Each gauge is individually tested and calibrated prior to shipment. Due
to its sensitivity, the gauge may need to be “zeroed in” prior to usage.
Adjusting Gauge Recalibration to Zero
1. For 2-1/2": remove lens; for 3-1/8": remove lens plug
2. Turn recal screw slightly in the opposite direction that pointer is
to be moved. Maximum recal screw adjustments is half turn. Over
adjustment will permanently destroy calibration.
3. Replace lens/lens plug
Gauges are sensitive instruments—over adjustment and/or being subjected to pressures
over dial range are not covered under warranty terms.
