Recalibrating the Meter (F
IG
. 14)
The meter is shipped from the factory with the default
calibration factor for 10W30 motor oil - at 70°F (21°C).
This calibration factor is sufficiently accurate for most
oils. If other fluids are used or if greater accuracy is
required, the meter can be recalibrated by performing
one of the following recalibration methods.

To attain the most accurate calibration:
•
Use the manual calibration procedure (Method 2).
•
Use a certified, graduated cylinder; either 1-Quart or
1-Liter volume in the system of Units to be used
(either English or SI) for real-time dispenses.
