turning the indicator dial clockwise or anti-clockwise depending on the initial position.
b) When using the gauge vertically ensure that the indicator dial is rotated to 0 after any
accessories have been attached.

Ensure that the capacity of the gauge to be used is suitable for the application. If the
gauge is constantly taken over its designed operating range it may sustain damage and
the reading will be unreliable.
