• 5‑mm Allen key
• 10-mm and 17-mm wrenches
• Spirit level
For the most reliable measurements:
• To avoid in-splashing and snow accumulation, install the gauge so that the opening is
on a horizontal plane, at a sucient level, and open to the sky.
• Do not install the gauge on sites on a slope or on building roofs.
