ZEPPELIN®
4-VALVE ALUMINUM MANIFOLD
INSTRUCTIONS
Limited Warranty
Manifold bar has a lifetime warranty, while the components (gauges,
hoses, handles, hose holders, etc.), are covered under the limited
warranty policy. Products are warrantied for a period of one year from
date of shipment by JB and limited to repair, replacement or credit,
if in our opinion are defective due to workmanship and/or materials.
Defective components should be returned to the wholesaler from which
the product was purchased for evaluation. Manifolds are designed for
use with all refrigerants except Ammonia (R717). Working pressures
are limited to gauge dial range. Use of this manifold under any other
conditions voids the warranty.
For Professional Use Only
JB manifolds are designed for use by technically trained HVAC/R
service engineers only. Due to the high pressures encountered in all
systems this manifold will be used on, plus the dangers due to the
physical and chemical nature of refrigerants and oils present in all
systems, misapplication could result in injury or death.
Repair Parts
See your wholesaler for a complete line of gauges.

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.
