LIQUID
The liquid contained in the RIVIERA compasses is stable in the
temperature range from -30 ° to + 60 ° C. In this range there should be
no bubbles, this is guaranteed by an elastic membrane that
compensates for volumetric variations. The liquid is Shell SolD / 70
(petroleum).
ATTENTION: Never unscrew the filler plugs and screws for any
reason. The only screws to adjust are those of the compensators
(with a non-magnetic screwdriver). When the cut of the
compensator screws is in the horizontal position the
compensation is neutral, bringing the cut in the vertical position
is maximum.
