Hold the gauge vertically against the side of the carburetor body so that the "middle" line [B] is several millimeters higher than the mark [C] on the carburetor body.
Feed fuel to the carburetor, then turn the carburetor drain plug [D] out a few turns.
Wait until the fuel level in the gauge settles.
Keeping the gauge vertical, align the "middle" line with the mark.
Note. Do not lower the "middle" line below the mark of the carburetor body. If the gauge is lowered and then raised again, the fuel level measured shows somewhat higher than the actual fuel level. If the gauge is lowered too far. dump the fuel into a suitable container and start the procedure over again.
