Mounting: 

The gauge requires a rectangular cut out that is about 2 7/8“ x 1 11/16“.  It 

should be inserted into the opening from the front and the U-clamp will be 
installed from the back.  Tighten the two nuts on the U-clamp so that the gauge is 
secure.  Figure 2 shows the required cut out for the gauge.  Figure 3 shows how 
the gauge mounts.
