Before mounting it on the machine, check the operability of the measuring gauges. To do

Install the measuring gauge in a way that it will not be damaged by cutting tools or coolants.
If required, mount a cover or drip moulding.
If possible, mount the enclosed measuring gauge with the sealing lips showing downward.
If possible, place the reading head stationary in order to avoid damages of the connection
lines by its movements.
