With David White

your sights are set on

precision and accuracy.

Congratulations! You’ve purchased a David White builder/contractor instrument, 

known throughout the world for precision and accuracy.
The purpose of this user’s guide is to acquaint you with the instrument, its 

components, safety, proper care and handling.
Our levels, level-transits and transits are constructed to withstand extremely 

rugged field use. Like all precision instruments, however, they should be treated 

with reasonable care to prolong life and accuracy.

All instruments are adjusted when they are shipped from the factory. It is the 

customer’s responsibility to check and to ensure instruments are adjusted prior 

to using.
David White is not responsible for errors caused by instruments that are out of 

adjustment.
Contact your distributor, dealer or David White for information on the nearest 

facility to check if your instrument is properly adjusted.

All specifications are subject to change without notice.
