  1. Push down on the white “grasping ring” on the elbow fitting and pull to remove the tubing from the elbow on the Pressure Gauge. Note the orientation of the elbow; you will reattach it to the new Pressure Gauge in a similar position.

Note:

You may wish to remove other tubes in order to more easily access the Pressure Gauge. Ensure they are properly reconnected after the new Pressure Gauge is installed.

 

  1. Use the flat screwdriver to loosen the two screws from the metal ring holding the Pressure Gauge in place.
