HELPFUL HINTS
Instructions on conversion: 1kgf/cm=0.98bar=98kPa=14.2psi the error percentage is the full range percentage
In order to get a strong seal, place the nozzle directly onto the tire valve. Putting the gauge on the nozzle from an angle could result in an inaccurate reading. Once the gauge is placed, firmly press the gauge straight down.
