Do not deviate fromassembly or wiring instructions . Alwaysdisconnect battery ground before making anyelectrical a small plastic screwdriver,turn the adjustment screwlocated in a hole on the side of thegauge housing. NOTE: Do not usea metal staticdischarge can damage the you have moved thepointer to 0 or E withthe tank empty, calibrationis complete and your gaugeis ready to After wiring Gauge / Sender , calibrate them(Diagram E). With the tank empty, use thecalibration screw to move the pointer to E. When the pointer rests on E with the tankempty, the Gauge and Sender are calibratedand ready for use, and the Gauge can the fuel Gauge :1.
