(see following notes) to remove heavy soils. Avoid prolonged
exposure and do not soak.
NOTE
In the past, the topshell was not compatible with
petrochemicals. Your topshell is compatible with
petrochemicals only if upon removal of the keypad there
is a ridge around the exposed opening. If not, use a mild
soap (such as 409
or Fantastic) or alcohols (such as
methyl or isopropyl.)
SOURCE ROD BEARING
If the source rod does not slide up and down freely, the source rod
bearing may require cleaning and lubrication.
✓
Carefully remove the gauge topshell and slide it up out of the
way. Secure the topshell to the handle.
✓
To catch any grease, place a rag or cloth under the vent valve
located below the grease fitting on the source rod tower.
NOTE
The vent valve was not installed on earlier gauges.
Instead, an Allen-head screw was located beneath the
grease fitting. On the gauges, remove the Allen-head
screw before applying lubricant to allow the old grease
to be ejected. Failure to remove the Allen screw may
result in severe mechanical damage to the base
assembly.
✓
Using a standard 16-ounce grease gun loaded with a
Magnalube→-G cartridge, apply five shots of lubricant or
enough to eject all dirty grease until clean grease is visible.
✓
Re-assemble the gauge. Do not apply more than 6 in-lb torque
to the topshell screws.
CAUTION
The use of any unapproved cleaning agents such as
methyl-ethyl-ketones, amines, and methylene
chloride will damage the topshell and void the
warranty.
