NOTE: After adjusting range span, set both movement stops.
Set the underload stop so that the pointer will stop at
zero. Set the overload stop so that the pointer will pass
the maximum range approximately 5˝.
NOTE: After adjusting span re-zero pointer by removing from
pinion and re-assembling at the proper dial mark.
NOTE: To increase or decrease angle “A,“ bend tip inward or outward as
required. Doing this may run the movement segment off the pin-
ion. This can be corrected by cutting off one end off the link “E”
decreasing its length, or makin a new length from .032 dia. phos.

this will prevent too much play, or, binding in operation.

tem to 30 psi for five minutes, allowing bellows to travel approxi-
mately 1/8˝ against the overload stop. After this, heat treat system for
15 hours at 250°F, this procedure is necssary to prevent gauge drift.
