User Advice
The ABT 4550 series gauges are a piece of precision measurement equipment. Whilst it has
been designed for use in an engineering environment due care should be taken not to cause
damage to the equipment when in operation, storage or transit. Excessive trauma to the
moving parts of the gauge may invalidate the calibration and lead to possible measurement
inaccuracies.
